Research on the Law of AMT Tractor Clutch Engagement at Starting Condition

Based on the analysis of the characteristics of tractor clutch and the engagement process at start-up working condition, the dynamics model of the clutch start-up working condition is established, then clutch engaging control approaches are discussed with emphasis, therefore the clutch engaging control law of “fast-slow-fast” is obtained. According to the clutch control strategy, clutch simulating analysis of an AMT tractor at the starting conditions will be in process by Matlab/Simulink on the basis of well design of fuzzy controller. The analysis result shows that the use of fuzzy control theory could effectively control the engagement process of AMT tractor clutch at start-up working condition.
