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

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.

The single degree of freedom (SDOF) system that you studied under free vibration in Assignment #3 - Laboratory Component has been subjected to a strong ground motion. The acceleration at the base (excitation) and the acceleration at the roof (response) of the SDOF system was recorded with sampling rate 50 Hz (50 samples per second, or dt= 0.02 seconds). The file ElCentro.txt includes the two columns of acceleration data. The first column lists the acceleration at the base of the SDOF system. The second column lists the acceleration at the roof of the SDOF system. (a) Plot the time histories of the recorded accelerations at the base and at the roof of the SDOF system. (b) Compute the acceleration, velocity and displacement time histories of the roof of the SDOF system subjected to the recorded base acceleration using the Central Difference method. Plot the accel- eration, velocity and displacement time histories. Plot the restoring force, the damping force, and the inertia force time…
