Modelling of contact between stiff bodies in automotive transmission systems

[en] Many transmission components contain moving parts, which can come into in contact. For example, the TORSEN differentials aremainly composed of gear pairs and thrust washers. The friction involved by contacts between these two parts is essential in the working principle of such differentials. In this chapter, two different contact models are presented and exploited for the modelling of differentials. The former uses an augmented Lagrangian technique or a penalty method and is defined between two flexible bodies or between a rigid body and a flexible structure. The second contact formulation is a continuous impact modelling based on a restitution coefficient.
