The Study on Starting Control of ER Clutch for Vehicle

Abstract:

This paper proposed a new design scheme for automatic clutch of AMT which is based on electrorheological (ER) fluid. Through analyzing the working principle and its transfer characteristics of ER fluid, it discussed the start process of vehicle and control strategy of ER Clutch. By changing the control voltage, ER clutch satisfied the requirements of evaluation indexes such as start time and impact degree. The simulation results showed that the control strategy can realize starting rapidly and steadily which would meet the start requirements of economical automobiles
