Mechanical Hybrid KERS Based on Toroidal Traction Drives: An Example of Smart Tribological Design to Improve Terrestrial Vehicle Performance
Figure 4
The DFTV variator performance. The dimensionless output torque as a function of the overall creep coefficient (a) and the overall mechanical efficiency as a function of the input torque coefficient (b) for the three geometric ratios ( − black curve, − blue curve, − red curve). Calculations are shown for kN.
