Abstract

Provided is a method used for a power transmission system possessing a transmission and clutch. The power transmission system is used for a vehicle. The slip of the clutch is adjusted to a target where a magnitude of a sensed parameter of a shaft of the transmission corresponds to a desired noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) level in the power transmission system. The sensed parameter of the transmission shaft may be one of acceleration, speed, and torque of the transmission shaft. The transmission shaft may be one of the input shaft and output shaft of the transmission.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to regulating clutch slip upstream of a transmission to control noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) effects in a vehicle powertrain. Background technique [0002] A vehicle powertrain includes an engine and a transmission, wherein torque (or power) generated by the engine is transmitted to drive wheels through the transmission. In some drivetrains, the engine is connected to the transmission via a clutch such as a bypass clutch on a torque converter with which the transmission is equipped, or an input clutch on a dual clutch transmission or a mechanical automatic transmission. Here, the bypass clutch on the torque converter will be used to indicate any clutch type. [0003] Slipping of the bypass clutch indicates how engaged the torque converter is. Operation of the bypass clutch at high slip provides greater hydraulic coupling between the engine and transmission, which suppresses driveline disturbances due to torque di...
