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 …

The tribological contact under sliding condition in the clutch facing surfaces during the
engagement manoeuvre is strongly affected by heat transfer occurring in the system. The …

Dry clutches are widely used in conventional and innovative automotive drivelines and
represent a key element for automated manual transmissions (AMTs). In practical …

The cushion spring plays an important role in an automotive dry-clutch system. It strongly
influences the clutch torque transmission from the engine to the driveline through its non …

In this work, we investigate the behavior of the riveted clutch disc assembly which allows a
soft gradual re-engagement of torque transmission. This progressive re-engagement is …

This paper focuses on control of automotive gearbox based on dry-clutch architecture. Such
a system is widely spread as engagement device in Automated Manual Transmissions …

For general-purpose passenger cars with a manual transmission, breakaway performances
of a clutch have great effects on ride of clutch operation system. Breakaway performances of …

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

In automotive dry clutch systems the cushion spring plays an important role in terms of
gradually torque transmitted during the engagement phase. In fact, it strongly influences the …

Recent progress made in making clutches lightweight and in reducing torsional vibrations
has led to the emergence of new vibroacoustic phenomena due to the out-of-plane …
