Abstract


The purpose of the article is to present results of experimental researches of new designs of hydraulic clutches with smart type working fluids. The research methodology includes conduct of experimental researches of hydraulic clutches with smart fluids in order to obtain steady-state and dynamic characteristics and relations occurring between design parameters. Experimental researches have been performed on a specially built for this purpose test-rigs. The results will be used to develop control methods of clutches prototypes. Moreover, an analysis of results allows for development of new designs of such clutches. Development of new designs, gives the possibility to use them in practice.
