Abstract The vehicle transfer case clutch plays an important role for four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicles since the torque transmitted through the clutch determines the amount of traction torque on tires, which is important for vehicle performance. However, the clutch torque measurement is usually unavailable on production vehicles and needs to be estimated accurately to improve vehicle performance. This paper proposes a unified scheme to model clutch output torque under all three conditions: open (no torque output), slipping, and overtaken. Specifically, the clutch torque model under clutch overtaken condition is first investigated using the vehicle longitudinal and tire dynamics. It was found that effective radius of front tires, powered by the transfer case clutch torque, cannot be assumed as constant and should be compensated by vehicle acceleration, while the effective radius of rear tires connected directly to the propulsion system does not need to be compensated. In addition, it was found that torque model under clutch overtaken condition cannot be used under slip condition. As a result, a general clutch torque model is developed for both slip and overtaken conditions with a clutch slip speed compensation, resulting a root-mean-square error percentage (RMSE%) of 6.8% comparing with the experimental measurement data. Note that overtaken torque model is a special case of the general torque model by setting slip speed equal to zero. The general clutch torque model is able to calculate clutch output torque accurately under both slip and overtaken conditions.
