구조해석을 통한 T/CON 피스톤 처짐량 및 피로수명에 대한 연구

Torque converter consists of fluid clutch and lock-up clutch. When the lock-up clutch activates, piston operation transfers the engine power to the transmission. In recent times, in order to meet the requirements for light weight and stability, Torque converter requires optimized design using structural analysis considering maximum load. The most effective parts to lightweight is piston of lock-up clutch which is necessary design criteria. In addition, study for life optimization was conducted. For analysis, piston shape is of single facing clutch type. In the future, this study will aid for structural design of piston.
