Abstract: As a key component of vehicle, automotive clutch remained high failure rate, meanwhile, with the development of engine and vehicle technology, functional characteristics of automotive clutch such as comfort, durability and reliability demanded much higher. Objective of the study is to establish the correspondence relationship between failures and design theory and experimental methods, reduce failure rate and improve product reliability. In order to create a system approach of problem-solving, we collected clutch failure information and classified according to clutch functional requirements and mechanical design principles. Then we used RCA (root cause analysis) and quality management tools to analyze the cause of failures, used QFD (quality function development) and DFMEA (design failure mode effects analysis) method to protocol the corresponding control measures to improve the existing design theory and experimental methods. The study also can be applied to more complex systems such as dry dual clutch module and dual-mass flywheel damper.

Abstract: For passenger vehicle clutches cover assembly assembling requirement, the integrated assembling system was designed and considered fully to meet the flexible, reliability and traceability requirements. It realized integration of products and processes, integration of processed and equipment, tooling, conveying equipment, integration of logistics and information flow. It puts forward new solutions about process flow and key equipments and reasonable evaluation method of assembly line.

Abstract: Combining the research and development of dual mass flywheel, the paper explores the realizing methods of CAD/CAE/CAM integrated design system. The system is composed of modules including digital structure design and simulation, entire-car NVH analysis, analysis and optimization of formation process and welding process. Based on PDM technique, data sharing and integration could be realized through corresponding interface procedures by establishing a uniform product data model. The paper studies on the digital structure design and simulation, torsional vibration analysis, sheet material forming technology simulation and welding technology simulation. Finally the paper shows the comparison between one type of dual mass flywheel sample test curve and simulation curve.
