Energy Sensitivity Analysis by Lightning for a Transmission of Commercial Vehicles
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: Dynamic performance of transmission has a substantial effect on dynamic performance and fuel efficiency of vehicles, and is directly related to mass inertia moment of the transmission rotor. Rotors of light mass require a small amount of kinetic energy from vehicles that repeat acceleration and deceleration, which increases fuel efficiency as a result. In this study, equivalent inertia moments at different speeds were calculated by simplifying the transmission system, and, by using the kinetic energy equation related to rotational motion and translational motion of vehicles, required kinetic energy of each speed was calculated. Also, the probability of using different speeds to achieve a target distance was applied as weight in order to calculate the amount of kinetic energy required to achieve the target distance. Assuming that the rotor inside the transmission maintains its function while the mass was minimized, in this study, the relative effect of lightning the rotor was compared to the effect of lightning the sprung mass with regards to kinetic energy.
