...M. Mansouri; M. Holgerson; M. M. Khonsari; W. Aung Wet clutches that handle the gearshifts in automatic transmission undergo severe thermal stresses due to the occurrence of large temperature gradients during engagement. To accurately design wet clutches, better models to simulate the engagement...
