Abstract(E)In modern automotive vehicles, there is a major concern for noise and vibrations generating from drivetrain. These noise and vibrations affect the passenger comfort and drivetrain parts life.
Engine generates fluctuating torque and causes angular acceleration that results into torsional vibrations. These vibrations are transmitted to powertrain. Clutch disc consists damper springs and hysteresis which aids reducing these torsional vibrations. Based on the damper spring stiffness, one can control the resonance speed range and shift the resonance rpm out of driving speed range of engine. The resonance should not happen within driving speed range of vehicle to avoid large amplitude torsional vibration. But here limitation is put on the torque transmission capability of clutch for meeting vehicle requirements. As, low stiffness of damper spring requires large wind-up angle so, it is critical to decide its stiffness.
The present work is related to resolving the issues of clutch damper spring failures by incorporating adequate design parameters. The vehicle model was built in AMESIM for simulation of clutch twist angle during operating condition. The damper spring can undergo full compression and hit stopper pin which is termed as spring saturation. Due to saturation, damper spring can break down if the stress generated exceeds its threshold material strength. Damper spring design was optimized based on simulation results, by proper selecting the stiffness values, to overcome saturation phenomenon. From simulation, it is concluded that new designed values are meeting requirements.

How to use the search box

You can enter up to 5 search conditions. The number of search boxes can be increased or decreased with the "+" and "-" buttons on the right.
If you enter multiple words separated by spaces in one search box, the data that "contains all" of the entered words will be searched (AND search).
Example) X (space) Y → "X and Y (including)"

How to use "AND" and "OR" pull-down

If "AND" is specified, the "contains both" data of the phrase entered in the previous and next search boxes will be searched. If you specify "OR", the data that "contains" any of the words entered in the search boxes before and after is searched.
Example) X AND Y → "X and Y (including)"  X OR Z → "X or Z (including)"
If AND and OR searches are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) X AND Y OR Z → X AND (Y OR Z)
If AND search and multiple OR search are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) W AND X OR Y OR Z → W AND (X OR Y OR Z)

How to use the search filters

Use the "search filters" when you want to narrow down the search results, such as when there are too many search results. If you check each item, the search results will be narrowed down to only the data that includes that item.
The number in "()" after each item is the number of data that includes that item.
