  7. 5. Continuously Variable Split-Power Transmissions with Several Modes

    Author : Per Mattsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; continuously variable transmission; variator; speed ratio range; ratio coverage; traction drive; mode shift; CVT; planetary gear; power split; IVT; infinitely variable transmission; epicyclic gear train; hydrostatic variator;

    Abstract : A continuously variable transmission (CVT) of split-power design consists of a variator and an arrangement of planetary gears. A black box model describing such transmissions is presented. The model can be used for synthesis as well as loss-free analysis of split-power CVT concepts in general. READ MORE
