Abstract

Modified HBM (Harmonic Balance Method) with AFT (Alternating Frequency Time) method is utilized to obtain steady-state response of an automotive clutch system with piecewise-linear stiffness. The stability analysis for the obtained response is performed via perturbation technique and Floquet multipliers. The considered system shows a flip and fold bifurcation, and variation of system parameters can exhibit abnormal clutch vibration such as a rattling phenomenon.
