LMS helps transmission manufacturer AISIN AW to predict and eliminate clutch judder
5/10/2012
LMS, the leading partner in test and mechatronic simulation, helped AISIN AW to evaluate transmissions in a whole vehicle context at an early stage in the development process to reduce the chances of self-excited judder occurring. LMS completed a project using a hybrid approach of combining simulation and test to correlate and validate a repeatable methodology for future use. This methodology allows AISIN AW to evaluate new vehicle applications for their transmission more quickly, saving time and money.
In the Automotive Industry, the quest for greater efficiency, lower emissions and a greener brand image has put pressure on sub-system and component design; in particular transmission design has had some particular challenges to overcome. AISIN AW requested LMS to explore the possibilities of using simulation to improve the prediction of judder phenomenon. This was achieved using a 1-D model to simulate the transmission and vehicle influences combined with testing to correlate and validate the method for future use in their development processes.
To understand and diagnose problems using 1-D simulation a three step project was devised and executed to transfer the technology and knowledge.
- Step 1 - Model the transmission units accurately using a 1-D model in LMS Imagine.Lab, including gearbox internals, torque converter, lock up clutch and lock up clutch controls.
- Step 2 - Model whole vehicle driveline, bench testing carried out to understand correct parameters for driveline components (impedance & damping).
- Step 3 - Carry out a sensitivity analysis to predict mode shapes and influencing components allowing design improvement activities to be targeted at specific components.
Steps 1 and 2 developed a 1-D transmission model using bench testing for validation and then added the whole vehicle parameters that affected judder (engine, driveline and tires). This whole vehicle model was correlated against a measured system to ensure its accuracy.
Step 3 used the validated model in the development process to analyze the judder phenomena and the component contributions to each judder mode found for a specific vehicle application. By ranking each components contribution recommendations and target damping values were worked out and simulated to test their effectiveness. These targets were then interpreted by AISIN AW into component design changes to improve their product.
The 1-D model developed allows AISIN to simulate several drive cycle scenarios and a wide range of vehicle parameters. Since calculation times are small, it is possible to evaluate many scenarios allowing it to also be used for troubleshooting. The project proved that 1-D simulation and analysis could bring benefits to the transmission engineering team, helping them to understand the NVH contribution of each component and allowing them to focus their efforts on areas that will give the best results. Importantly the process and knowledge on how to repeat this work was retained by AISIN AW for future transmission projects as part of LMS commitment to technology transfer.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner."

"Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
