  • Damping device and damping method for suppressing torsional oscillations in a drivetrain
    Publication number: 20050182545
    Abstract: A damping device comprises a device (4, 7) for determining a mechanical state variable (??MODEL, ??ACTUAL) reproducing the torsion of a drivetrain (3) of an internal combustion engine (1) and an actuator (2) to activate an internal combustion engine (1) with a control variable as a function of the mechanical state variable (??MODEL, ??ACTUAL). It is proposed that the mechanical state variable (??MODEL, ??ACTUAL) be determined by a predictor element (4) that contains a model of the drivetrain (3) and/or the internal combustion engine (1).
    Type: Application

  • Damping system using a LOLIMOT model to counteract drive train oscillations
    Publication number: 20050102090
    Abstract: A damping device comprises a recording device (4, 7) for determining a mechanical state variable (??MODELL, ??IST) reflecting the torsion of a drive train (3) of an internal combustion engine (1), and a control device (2) for controlling an internal combustion engine (1) with a correcting variable as a function of the mechanical state variable (??MODELL, ??IST. It is proposed that the mechanical state variable (??MODELL, ??IST) be determined by a predictor element (4) that contains a model of the drive train (3) and/or of the internal combustion engine (1).
