I was going through these two documents:
My primary interest was to understand why and how Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) is superior over the conventional Single Mass Flywheel (SMF) clutch.
DMF undergoes three major differences in construction:
1. Flywheel mass is split into two pieces - Primary mass and Secondary mass
2. Damper springs are fitted to the primary mass
3. Clutch plate is assembled to secondary mass
These are my two questions:
1. What difference does it make by doing the above changes?
2. If I just increase the transmission input shaft inertia, is it not mathematically equivalent to the DMF construction? Because, the core change in DMF is that there is a mass after dampening. Pl. help.
