Predictive control of an electro-hydraulic actuated wet clutch

During the last few years automotive actuators have become mechatronic systems in which mechanical components coexist with electronics and computing devices and because pressure control valves are used as actuators in many control applications for automotive systems, a proper dynamic model is necessary. In this paper, the concept of modeling an electro-hydraulic actuated clutch system in the automatic transmission is presented and two different control strategies are applied on the develop models. The simulation result are presented and discussed.
