Chapter 42, Problem 1RQ

Although computers receive different information from a variety of sensors, the decisions for shifting are actually based on more than the inputs. What are they based on?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The decisions shift or not to shift in the automatic transmission.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

The decisions to shift or not to shift in automatic transmission are based on the shift schedule and logic.

Explanation of Solution

Transmission control module (TCM) is designed or programmed in such a way that it receives signals from sensors, engine related or driver-controlled sensors to control the shift timing, torque converter clutch and shift feel. But the decisions to shift or not to shift is based on the shift schedule and logic. In shift schedule composed of shift points and are precisely selected based on the signals from appropriate sensors. Shift schedule logic select the appropriate gear. Other inputs TCM used to control shift speed are:

Throttle position.

Manifold absolute pressure.

Mass airflow.

Intake air temperature.

Barometric pressure.

Engine coolant temperature.

Crank shaft position.

Problem 4. Part 1 100 mm C @ PROBLEM 15.160 Pin P slides in the circular slot cut in the plate shown at a constant relative speed u = 500 mm/s. Assuming that at the instant shown the angular velocity of the plate is 6 rad/s and is increasing at the rate of 20 rad/s², determine the acceleration of pin P when = 90°. 150 mm is NOT zero. Answer: a = 3.4î −15.1ĵ m/s² ) P (Hint: u is a constant number, which means that the tangential component of F is zero. However, the normal component of Part2. When 0 = 120°, u = 600 mm/s and is increasing at the rate of 30mm/s², determine the acceleration of pin P.
