DESIGN OF THE CONSTANTINESCO TORQUE CONVERTER USED AS A MECHANICAL TRANSMISSION FOR AGRICULTURAL TRACTORS
Journal Title: ISB-INMA TEH AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 8
Abstract
The Constantinesco torque converter (CTC) is a continuously variable mechanical transmission and was introduced by the eminent engineer George Constantinesco during the first half of the twentieth century. This article provides a brief historical overview of the development of the CTC as well as its general functioning principle. A procedure for the integration of the equations of motion of the CTC using the structomatic approach is proposed for the purpose of its sizing. The general dynamic behaviour of the CTC is investigated. The results emphasize the potential of incorporating the CTC into agriculture.
