6. 24. Extended Computational Module for Tractive Effort at Rolling and Spinning Point Contacts

   Author : Mikael Törmänen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; spin; thermal effects; Hertzian contact; continuously variable transmission; rolling resistance; speed pole; traction drive; multi-body system; efficient numerical procedure;

   Abstract : One category of mechanical systems that contains power-transferring point contacts is traction drive variators. These variators can be used in different concepts for Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVTs) and in vehicle applications, in order to achieve optimum engine operating conditions leading to improved driveability, reduced fuel consumption and an increase in overall vehicle performance.
