Thermal Analysis of Double Mass Flywheel Secondary Flywheel

Abstract To solve the problem of thermal overload failure in dual-mass flywheel (DMF), we performed temperature field calculation and thermal analysis of the secondary flywheel in DMF. Based on the results of this analysis, we performed thermal stress analysis on the secondary flywheel. The heat transform model was built for the secondary flywheel using the thermodynamics theory. Finite element model (FEM) was built for the secondary flywheel using ABAQUS 6.12-3 software. This model was solved to obtain the distributions of the temperature field and thermal stress in the secondary flywheel after it completed five engagement-disengagement cycles. Finally, thermal shock test was conducted for the secondary flywheel on the thermal shock test bench. We performed a targeted test to verify the accuracy of thermal analysis of secondary flywheel. The analysis method can be used to optimize product parameters such as the product thickness.
