Fine Tuning of a Wet Clutch Engagement by Means of a Genetic Algorithm

In many practical engineering applications, a feed-forward control is often used to control the system with some parameterized signals, for example, a wet clutch system. Usually these signals are designed empirically. In this paper, firstly, genetic algorithm (GA) will be used to optimize parameters. Then by knowing the system response of the test bench in the frequency domain, GA will be used again to fine tuning this parameterized signal. The result is then compared to those performances of using signal without fine tuning step. It is shown that after applying the fine tuning method, the resulted signal can achieve a better performance.
