Chapter 4: Transmissions and driveline

• Introduction
• Demonstrate the need for transmission design and
matching.

• Give examples of common clutch, gearboxes and


transmissions available for vehicle design.

• Indicate the terminology and methods for transmission


design.

• Aid the designer to understand the elements of the


analysis of transmission systems.

What the vehicle requires from the transmission

✓ Allowing the vehicle to start from rest, with the engine running continuously.

✓ Letting the vehicle stop by disconnecting the drive when appropriate.

✓ Enabling the vehicle to start at varied rates, under a controlled manner.

✓ Varying the speed ratio between the engine and wheels.

✓ Allowing this ratio to change when required.

✓ Transmitting the drive torque to the required wheels.

- General requirements of clutch
• –Transmit Full Engine Torque without slipping;
• –Definitively disengage and softly engage for reduction dynamic load on
transmission;
• –The inertia moment of the passive part should be as small as possible in
order to reduce the dynamic load on the gears and the synchronizer during
gear shifting;
• –Frictional torque remains constant when clutch is engaged;
• –Avoid resonance in transmission with high frequency of combustion
engine;
• –Good heat dissipation to avoid heating the parts while clutch slipping;
• –Long life, compact size, easy to use, maintain and repair, low cost.
