Modeling and Simulation of the Shift Process for Wet-Type Dual Clutch Transmission

Abstract

As a new type of automatic transmission in recent several years, dual clutch transmission (DCT) owns the advantages of both automated manual transmission (AMT) and hydraulic automatic transmission (AT), and shows a huge development potential in automatic transmission family. In this paper, a dynamic model of the shift process for a six-speed wet-type DCT is presented, the simulation model has been built using MATLAB/Simulink platform, and simulation tests of upshift and downshift processes have also been accomplished. The study provides a reliable theoretical dynamic model for further development of control strategies and algorithms for DCT.
