Manipulating Frictional Performance of Wet Clutch Engagement through Material Properties and Operating Conditions

open access: yesLubricants, 2022
Wet clutch engagement is mainly influenced by the frictional behaviors between the friction pad and steel plate as well as the lubrication behaviors.

Wear investigation of wet clutch friction material [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal Sustainable Construction & Design, 2010
Wear of friction plates for wet clutch applications can result in a decreasing transmittable torque and the occurrence of vibrations throughout the entire drive chain causing loss of performance and discomfort. The need for a simple wear model exists to predict the lifetime of the clutch and to give an insight in the combined influence of the ...

Collective cell durotaxis emerges from long-range intercellular force transmission [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The ability of cells to follow gradients of extracellular matrix stiffness—durotaxis—has been implicated in development, fibrosis, and cancer. Here, we found multicellular clusters that exhibited durotaxis even if isolated constituent cells did not. This

Influence of oxidation of automatic transmission fluids (ATFs) and sliding distance on friction coefficients of a wet clutch in the running-in stage

open access: yesFriction, 2020
In this paper, the influence of oxidation of automatic transmission fluids (ATFs) and sliding distance on the friction coefficients of a wet clutch in approached running-in conditions was investigated.

Adaptive Starting Control Strategy for Hybrid Electric Vehicles Equipped with a Wet Dual-Clutch Transmission

open access: yesActuators, 2023
To improve the starting performance of the P2.5 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles with a wet dual-clutch transmission, an adaptive starting control strategy is presented in this paper, which controls the two clutches simultaneously involved in the ...

Early maternal experience shapes offspring performance in the wild [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Both the environments experienced by a mother as a juvenile and an adult can affect her investment in offspring. However, the implications of these maternal legacies, both juvenile and adult, for offspring fitness in natural populations are unclear.

Dynamic Characteristic Analysis and Clutch Engagement Test of HMCVT in the High-Power Tractor

open access: yesComplexity, 2021
Hydromechanical continuously variable transmission (HMCVT) is capable of bearing large torque and has wide transmission range, which is suitable for high-power tractors. Dynamic characteristics could influence the tractor life, especially in a high-power

Threat-sensitive anti-predator defence in precocial wader, the northern lapwing Vanellus vanellus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Birds exhibit various forms of anti-predator behaviours to avoid reproductive failure, with mobbing—observation, approach and usually harassment of a predator—being one of the most commonly observed. Here, we investigate patterns of temporal variation in
