Development of a novel testing procedure and optimisation of a rubber spring using constrained simulated annealing algorithm for automobile clutch system

Simulated Annealing and Its Applications to Mechanical Engineering: A Review

“…Under dynamic conditions, it is necessary to conduct additional research on the utilisation of springs made of rubber-based materials within the clutch system. It has been proposed by Genç et al [25] that a novel method be used for the application of damper springs made of elastomer in the clutch system of automobiles. A simulation of driving the vehicle with the clutch engaged was performed using a torsional fatigue test.…”
