Research on the torsional vibration performance of a CVT powertrain with a dual-mass flywheel damper system

Abstract

Continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) can achieve continuous changes in speed ratio and can better improve the ride comfort of the car. However, the torque fluctuation of the engine will reduce its transmission efficiency, and the torsional damper is usually matched to improve transmission efficiency and reduce vibration noise. In this paper, the model of a complete vehicle power transmission system was established by using the bond graph method. The relationships between each state variable were obtained according to the system causality and the direction of the power flow, based on which the dynamic model of the entire vehicle power transmission system was derived. A simulation of the powertrain with dual-mass flywheel-continuously variable transmission (DMF-CVT) was carried out, and the torsional stiffness of the dual-mass flywheel (DMF) was optimized. Taking a certain sport-utility vehicle (SUV) as the test bench, the vehicle road testing of the DMF before and after improvement was carried out, and the test results before and after the improvement were compared to verify the correctness of the optimization direction, which provided a reference for the matching and optimization design of the DMF-CVT power transmission system.
