Research on the Method of Circumferential Spring Dual Mass Flywheel Damper Matching with Diesel Engine

As a new type of torsional vibration damper, a Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) has different configuration and working principle from the traditional clutch. Focusing on the problem of matching DMF with a diesel engine, the relationship of circumferential spring dual mass flywheel (CS-DMF) and gearbox is analyzed based on a multi-freedom model, and then the methods of gearbox selection, rotary inertia coefficient ascertain and optimization of torsional stiffness are proposed in this paper. The methods have been applied to a CS-DMF matching with a passenger car with diesel engine. Modal simulation and torque fluctuating experiment show the CS-DMF has excellent damping performance.
