Abstract
The invention relates to a software damper and to a method for configuring a software damper connected to a clutch control system for damping chatter vibrations of a clutch torque being transferred by means of an automated friction clutch positioned between a combustion engine and a transmission and controlled by the clutch control system, wherein a transmission input speed (r(g)) is captured at the output of the friction clutch by means of the software damper, and the target clutch torque (m(k)) encumbered by chatter vibrations is corrected by means of negative feedback. To design the software damper, a transfer behavior is ascertained over a control link of the clutch control system while the target clutch torque is excited in a frequency range which is relevant for chatter vibrations, under this transfer behavior an undamped first frequency response of the transmission input speed (r(g)) and a second frequency response at the output of the software damper are ascertained, and the negative feedback of the software damper is determined by comparing the two frequency responses.
