The locking performance of a multi-plate clutch with a mechanical lock-up system is governed by theengagement algorithm. In this paper, a control algorithm to improve the locking performance of the clutch wasstudied. A 1D dynamic model was constructed and simulated according to the developed algorithm. The developedalgorithm was composed of a method in which the locking device is engaged while generating artificial slip on thefriction plate by controlling the piston pressure of the clutch. Furthermore, a case study of the parameters withinthe developed algorithm was conducted to explore combinations that maximize locking performance and analyze trends according to these parameters.
