Influence of the Initial Temperature on the Clutch Hot Judder

In order to explore the effects of the initial temperature on the clutch hot judder, the thermodynamic analysis was conducted during the clutch engagement process. The finite element analysis was adopted to explore the contact pressure based on the consideration of the concentrated reactive force on the circlip. A 4-degree-of-freedom torsional vibration model was established to evaluate the hot judder behavior. The results demonstrated that the …
