A Study on Improvement of Torsional Vibration Characteristics of a Driveline Using a Module-Type-Vibration Analysis System

In the previous study, a module-type vibration analysis system using modular approach is developed for the purpose of analyzing the torsional vibration of vehicle driveline. In the present paper, the system is utilized to investigate the torsional vibration of the driveline of a middle duty truck. The driveline with driving condition is modeled and the torsional vibration response is simulated. The resonance 45Hz is found at engine speed 900rpm and the resultant vibration is very high. It shows favorable agreements with reference data. The effects of parameter change on torsional vibration are also investigated, so it is clarified that clutch characteristics, axle shaft stiffness are very influential on reduction of vibratio. So the countermeasure is proposed for the clutch characteristics. The reduction of torsonal vibration by 8rad/sec is obtained.
