This study delves into the impact of engine torsional vibration on transmission component failures, specifically synchronizers and clutch damper springs. Synchronizers are crucial in ensuring smooth gear shifts by synchronizing the rotational speeds of the transmission input and output shafts. While design factors such as geometry, friction material, and lubrication are often attributed to synchronizer failures, engine-generated torsional vibrations significantly affect their lifespan. Clutch damper mechanisms integrated into the clutch disc are designed to mitigate these vibrations. This research employs 1D powertrain simulation modeling to predict powertrain torsional vibration behavior. Additionally, rig tests are conducted to simulate vehicle-level angular accelerations and examine the impact of torsional vibrations on synchronizer life. The results provide valuable insights into optimizing clutch damper design to effectively dampen vibrations and prolong transmission component lifespan.
