Abstract

Optimal control of the engagement of a dry clutch is examined payingparticular attention to the driver comfort. Due to the strongconstraints and large errors of internal combustion torque controlonly the normal force on the clutch disks is considered ascontrolled input. The resulting analytically derived controller istested on a highly realistic nonlinear model proving very goodperformance.
