This torque-assist mechanism becomes a torque transfer path during gearshifts, in order to overcome a typical dynamic problem of the AMTs, that is the driving force interruption. The mean power contributions during gearshifts are computed for different engine and ACL interventions, thus allowing to draw considerations useful for developing the control algorithms. The simulation results prove the advantages in terms of gearshift quality and ride comfort of the analysed transmission.

  • MANUAL TRANSMISSION SERVICE Introduction

    MANUAL TRANSMISSION SERVICE Introduction

    MANUAL TRANSMISSION SERVICE Introduction Internal combustion engines develop very little torque or power at low rpm. This is especially obvious when you try to start out in direct drive, 4th gear in a 4-speed or 5th gear in a 6-speed manual transmission -- the engine stalls because it is not producing enough torque to move the load. Manual transmissions have long been used as a method for varying the relationship between the speed of the engine and the speed of the wheels. Varying gear ratios inside the transmission allow the correct amount of engine power to reach the drive wheels at different engine speeds. This enables engines to operate within their power band. A transmission has a gearbox containing a set of gears, which act as torque multipliers to increase the twisting force on the driveshaft, creating a "mechanical advantage", which gets the vehicle moving. From the basic 4 and 5-speed manual transmission used in early Nissan and Infiniti vehicles, to the state-of-the-art, high-tech six speed transmission used today, the principles of a manual gearbox are the same. The driver manually shifts from gear to gear, changing the mechanical advantage to meet the vehicles needs. Nissan and Infiniti vehicles use the constant-mesh type manual transmission. This means the mainshaft gears are in constant mesh with the counter gears. This is possible because the gears on the mainshaft are not splined/locked to the shaft. They are free to rotate on the shaft. With a constant-mesh gearbox, the main drive gear, counter gear and all mainshaft gears are always turning, even when the transmission is in neutral.

DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF A MECHANICAL DRIVELINE WITH GENERATOR FOR AN ATMOSPHERIC ENERGY HARVESTER A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Mechanical Engineering by Sneha Ganesh December 2017 Accepted by: Dr. John Wagner, Committee Chair Dr. Yue (Sophie) Wang Dr. Todd Schweisinger ABSTRACT The advent of renewable energy as a primary power source for microelectronic devices has motivated research within the energy harvesting community over the past decade. Compact, self-contained, portable energy harvesters can be applied to wireless sensor networks, Internet of Things (IoT) smart appliances, and a multitude of standalone equipment; replacing batteries and improving the operational life of such systems. Atmospheric changes influenced by cyclical temporal variations offer an abundance of harvestable thermal energy. However, the low conversion efficiency of a common thermoelectric device does not tend to be practical for microcircuit operations. One solution may lie in a novel electromechanical power transformer integrated with a thermodynamic based phase change material to create a temperature/pressure energy harvester.
