0304-623 - Powertrain Systems and Design

Institution:

Rochester Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

This course will introduce the transmission's primary function of coupling the engine to the driveline at appropriate torque ratios. Subsequent topics include modern transmission design, effi cient engine operation through transmission adaptation; and a discussion of the future of the automatic transmission. The course will review manual transmissions, automatic control, and hydro-mechanic decision theory and implementation. Modern designs, such as Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT), are reviewed to demonstrate a fundamental shift in the way power is transmitted from the primary source (such as the internal combustion engine) to the remainder of the driveline such as the propeller shaft or axle.
