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 proposes a nonlinear observer for estimating a powertrain transmitted torque of
vehicles equipped with dual-clutch transmissions. A new dynamical model of vehicle …

This paper presents a detailed investigation of the dry clutch engagement process, and
vehicle start-up judder phenomenon that could result in the deterioration of vehicle ride …

Mobile machines using a hydrostatic transmission is highly efficient under lower working-
speed condition but less capable at higher transport velocities. To enhance overall …

In this work, a new methodology for online identification of the dry-clutch torque
characteristics model in vehicular transmission systems is presented. The proposed …

Faults are inevitable to occur, especially those robots in hazardous environments. Robots
need to detect faults, and implement Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) for minimizing …

Judder is the term used in the automotive industry to describe the longitudinal oscillation in a
vehicle during its clutch system engagement. Past research has shown that judder can be …

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

Considering that the clutch cover assembly and driven disc assembly show common effect
on the engagement/disengagement characteristics of the pull-type diaphragm spring …
