Abstract

The paper is aimed at suitable approaches to the modelling and dynamical analysis of a special class of automotive differentials called limited-slip differentials. The design and function of the differential are briefly introduced and suitable multibody approaches to its modelling are proposed and discussed. The modelling formalism is based on Cartesian coordinates, while rigid bodies and their mutual interaction characterized by contact and friction forces and torques should be considered. Chosen numerical results documenting the effects of various differential model parameters are shown.
