On the Mechanical Friction Losses Occurring in Automotive Differential Gearboxes

Figure 13

(a) Yield of a differential gearbox with time in the case of the complex path presented in Figure 12 with various sets of friction coefficients : (0.03,0.05) in a dashed line, (0.05,0.07) in a dash-dot line, and (0.03,0.07) in a dotted line. (b) Loss ratio of the -mechanism (with ) with time in the case of the complex path presented in Figure 12 with the same sets of friction coefficients as in (a): which remained constant with time (black solid line), (red line), (blue line), and (green line).
