ABSTRACT

By establishing test benches and models, the effects of torsional vibrations on the transmission of a dual-mass flywheel (DMF) and noise and vibration improvements were investigated. There are theoretical and numerical approaches to investigate the effects of a dual-mass flywheel on vibration, including mathematical models that are created using only various methods. Components of a typical DMF are primary flywheel, spring, flange and secondary flywheel. The optimum results are obtained by minimizing the differences between angular displacements of the first and second flywheels using values of the parameters in the aforementioned section. The friction between the primary flywheel of the dual mass flywheel and the arc spring has been investigated by Python program. The simulations were made by combining Newmark and Newton methods. The results show that optimization plays a significant role in DMF designs, and the results obtained in the Mathematica program provide an appropriate methodological way for these to be developed.
