Dynamic performance of transmission has a substantial effect on dynamic performance and fuel efficiency of vehicles, and is directly related to mass inertia moment of the transmission rotor. Rotors of light mass require a small amount of kinetic energy from vehicles that repeat acceleration and deceleration, which increases fuel efficiency as a result. In this study, equivalent inertia moments at different speeds were calculated by simplifying the transmission system, and, by using the kinetic energy equation related to rotational motion and translational motion of vehicles, required kinetic energy of each speed was calculated. Also, the probability of using different speeds to achieve a target distance was applied as weight in order to calculate the amount of kinetic energy required to achieve the target distance. Assuming that the rotor inside the transmission maintains its function while the mass was minimized, in this study, the relative effect of lightning the rotor was compared to the effect of lightning the sprung mass with regards to kinetic energy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
