Abstract :Automobile components are subjected to high dynamic forces and vibrations under operational conditions which need detailed system analysis for work properly. Clutch is one of the important parts of the automobile powertrain system with torque transmission controlling and vibration damping properties. Metallic helical springs are widely preferred within the clutch discs with their durable mechanic properties against dynamic variables on an automobile. Recently, the elastomeric components are used in the automotive industry due to some advantages such as wear reduction, cost etc. In this study, the damper system which consists of the metallic and elastomeric springs was investigated and the torsional endurance was observed with the functional bench tests. This product, called Hybrid Damper, was revealed with the comparative analysis with the conventional metallic system.Keywords : rubber damper, metallic damper, hyper-viscoelastic modeling, Torsional fatigue, Clutch disc, Powertrain system
