Optimizing Automatic Transmission Double-Transition Shift Process Based on Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm

Abstract

In order to improve fuel economy, the number of gears in the hydraulic automatic transmission of heavy-duty mining trucks is continuously increasing. Compared with single-transition shifts, double-transition shifts can optimize the structure of multi-speed transmissions, but the difficulty of control will also increase. In this paper, a dynamic model of a 6 + 2 speed automatic transmission and vehicle powertrain system are built based on the Lagrange method, and the dynamic analysis of the two sets of clutches that make up the double-transition shift are carried out. Since a simulation model of the double-transition shift process is built-in MATLAB/Simulink, the shift jerk and clutch energy loss are used as multi-objective, and the genetic algorithm is used to optimize the simulation. Five strategies for the overlapping time of the clutches are proposed, and simulation experiments and Pareto optimal analysis are carried out, respectively. The simulation results show that the non-overlapping of the two sets of clutch inertia phases in the double-transition shift can effectively reduce the shift jerk. The overlapping of the torque phase and the inertia phase of the other clutch set can control the clutch energy loss at a low level due to using less shift time.

Numerical and Experimental Studies of the Attenuation Characteristics of Friction Torque in a Wet Multidisc Clutch

“…The circlip installed in the groove of cylinder liner plays a role in limiting the axial position of friction components [14]. By pumping pressure oil into the piston chamber, the friction components start to rub against each other, and the axial gap between them gradually disappears [15,16]. Meanwhile, the separate plates, as the driven part, transfer the input power to the transmission system.…”

Dynamically Balanced Pointing System for CubeSats: Study and 3D Printing Manufacturing

“…Once the 3D printing theory for spur gears is managed, a different reduction system can be obtained by simply changing positioning and coupling of the gear elements, ranging from the simple spur gear reduction system to the more complex and performing compound planetary gear transmission (C-PGT) [26,27]. Both the dynamic behavior of a satellite and that of a counterrotating shaft can be modeled using the Lagrangian or Newtonian formulation, as the wide corpus of literature on planetary gears reduction systems shows [28][29][30][31]. It is thus possible to compare the analytic solution with the full-scale prototype experiment.…”

Hybrid Nearest-Neighbor Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for Enhancing Load Balancing Task Management

“…GA is a search algorithm based on the concepts of natural selection and natural genetics (crossover and mutation). The GA is employed in real-world optimization problems, for example, manufacturing [25], warehouses [26], robotics [27], and automatic control [28]. PSO mimics the behavior of a swarm of birds or fish in search of food.…”
