Single and dual dry clutches are widely used in automotive transmissions because of their
reliability and efficiency paired with low fuel consumption and reduction of pollutant …

This article deals with the cooperative control of drive motor and clutches for the gear shift of
a parallel hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) with a dual-clutch transmission (DCT). An HEV with …

The frictional heat generated during the initial engagement will influence negatively the
performance and lifetime of the friction clutches, this heat generated will lead to appear …

During the engagement, the thermo-elastic behavior of the friction clutches over specific
sliding periods was taken into consideration as an essential factor to obtain a successful …

The designers of friction clutch systems in vehicular applications should always take into
account a number of essential criteria. The friction clutch should be able to transfer the …

Repeated engagements in dry clutch systems could yield remarkable increase of clutch disk
temperature. In dry clutch based transmissions like Automated Manual Transmissions and …

Heat power generated in dry clutch systems during repeated engagements could result in
marked uncomfort and manifest damage clutch facing materials. Indeed, recent studies have …

The Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HVEs) are reaching a wide diffusion both because the energy
