  • Patent number: 10197115
    Abstract: A method for parameterizing a software damper is disclosed. A target clutch torque affected in specified operating states by chatter vibrations is corrected by a software damper, wherein a transfer behavior of a clutch torque transferred via a friction clutch based on the target clutch torque is ascertained during a modulation of the target clutch torque. The software damper is parameterized with the help of the ascertained transfer behavior. To parameterize the software damper quickly and comprehensively, the target clutch torque is modulated by a broadband excitation in a frequency range of the chatter vibrations, and the transfer behavior is ascertained depending on operating parameters of the drivetrain.

  • Publication number: 20170045102
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for parameterizing a software damper connected to a clutch control system for damping chatter vibrations of a clutch torque being transferred by means of an automated friction clutch which is controlled by the clutch control system by means of a target clutch torque and which is positioned between a combustion engine and a drivetrain of a motor vehicle, wherein the target clutch torque affected in specified operating states by chatter vibrations is corrected by means of the software damper, wherein a transfer behavior of a clutch torque transferred via the friction clutch on the basis of the target clutch torque is ascertained during a modulation of the target clutch torque and the software damper is parameterized with the help of the ascertained transfer behavior.
