In this paper it is presented the design optimization of the diaphragm spring for a mechanical clutch. The slot shape of the fingers was parameterized and the objective function was the maximum tangential stress to be minimized subjected to the constraint that the deflection of the spring on exterior diameter in the spring centreline direction has a minimum certain value when the clutch is disengaged.
This paper presents a plane equivalent model of the vehicle and its mathematical model attached. The mathematical model is under a form of four differential equations system of order 1, in order to analyze the dynamic behaviour of the vehicle movement. Its goal is to determine the ranges of speed for that movement is stable or is unstable, or having chaotic character. The authors consider being necessary to know the conditions in which movements occur chaotic movements to avoid them through constructive or functional limitations. Speed values are identified for the behaviour of the system is placed in the quasiperiodic movements field or exceeding these movements trough chaos and are highlighted by the specific instruments: the trajectories in the phase plane, Poincare section and power spectra.
This paper considers the diaphragm spring of a mechanical clutch being composed by a conical disk spring and trapezoidal lamellar springs attached to the disk spring. After analytical calculation of the disk spring a numerical structural analysis was performed in order to validate the 3D model of the disk spring. A design optimization with 4 design variables was done for the disk spring and, based on the optimized design, the 3D model of the diaphragm spring was built. A 6 design variables model of the diaphragm spring was proposed for design optimization analysis having as design objective the minimization of the maximum equivalent stress during disengaging the clutch.
In this paper it is presented a way of optimizing a public passenger transport route from Targu Jiu city. It was analyzed the current conditions of public passenger transport, measurements were carried out on the route and questionings of passengers used to establish input data for optimization. The most important result of this optimization is to establish an optimal distance between stations on the analyzed route away to ensure a minimum time of the passengers traveling at acceptable commercial speed and driving conditions imposed by Tg. Jiu city specific.
