후륜 구동 A/T 차량의 구동축 강성이 발진 가속에 미치는 영향

Drivers are requiring higher drivability as the quality of life rises and the performance of the vehicle improves. Especially, drive shaft stiffness is closely related to drivability influential factors of a vehicle such as responsiveness, acceleration, and quietness. In order to make good drivability, powertrain of vehicle must generate driving force that corresponds to acceleration performance requested by the driver. In this paper, vehicle acceleration characteristics - one of the most important factor of drivability - are analyzed according to the drive shaft stiffness. In order to predict vehicle acceleration characteristics, a model to analyze the torque flow of an actual vehicle and a model coefficient measurement methodology are required, contribution of each component in the power distribution process must be understood, and a corresponding simulation model must be established. And based on the simulation result of this research, initial vehicle acceleration characteristics depending on driveshaft stiffness was predicted.
