Abstract

Clutch is a commonly used component in mechanical transmission. It is in the flywheel housing of engine and gearbox, which can separate or engage the transmission system at any time, and transmit the output power of engine. This paper optimizes the clutch engagement curve based on the optimization theory. The results show that the new curve obtained by the correction is significantly lower than the original curve from the aspects of the sliding grinding work and the impact degree.
