Method for reducing low-frequency vibrations in the drive train of a motor vehicle

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for reducing occasionally occurring vibrations, in particular chatter vibrations of a unit controlled automatically by an actuator, in particular a clutch actuator, on the basis of a target torque assigned to a clutch torque that is to be transmitted, in particular a target clutch torque, in particular a unit located in a drivetrain of a motor vehicle between a combustion engine and a transmission, in particular a friction clutch having an actual present clutch torque which is marked by vibrations as a result of occasionally occurring vibrations, wherein from an input signal which is representative of the vibration-marked torque on the basis of a known transfer behavior of the actual present torque vibration components of known form with unknown prefactors are continuously ascertained, a phase-correct correction torque is determined from these, and the target torque is corrected using the latter. In order to be able to separate a plurality of vibration components from one another and resolve them, an estimation model is made the basis of the input signal, and by means of the estimation model the prefactors are determined on the basis of a recursive method of the smallest square errors.
