This research investigates the stability of dry clutch systems vibrational behaviour during engagement. A fully coupled dry clutch numerical model including the influence of friction is presented and validated using vehicle measurements. The clutch component frictional properties are measured using parts that exhibit aggressive NVH behaviour using representative tribometric experiments. The validated numerical tool highlights the occurrence of instabilities which are caused by modal couplings, particularly between the input shaft bending and clutch disc radial motions. Such a validated transient dynamics model of a dry clutch system has not hitherto been presented in the open literature.
