Effect of Stiffness Ratio of Piecewise-Linear Spring on the Occurrence of Subharmonic Nonlinear Vibration in Automatic Transmission Powertrain

In the torque converter, a damper with a piecewise-linear spring is used to reduce the forced vibration, and the subharmonic vibration occurs when the spring restoring torque characteristics approach the switching point. This research analyzed the effect of stiffness ratio between the neighboring piecewise-linear springs on the occurrence of the subharmonic nonlinear vibration in automatic transmission powertrain. The powertrain is modeled with multi degree-of-freedom nonlinear system as an actual vehicle. The result shows higher value of the stiffness ratio between the neighboring springs creates larger value of the subharmonic vibration.
