Method of estimating transmission torque of dry clutch of vehicle

Abstract

A method of estimating transmission torque of a vehicle dry clutch may suitably estimate a variation in the characteristics of transmission torque relative to the actuator stroke of a dry clutch even during the driving of a vehicle, so that the dry clutch is more suitably controlled. In the method of estimating transmission torque of a dry clutch, a clutch is released so that a slip of the clutch occurs. If the slip of the clutch has occurred, the slip of the clutch is uniformly maintained. If the slip of the clutch is uniformly maintained, a relationship between a stroke of an actuator of the clutch and transmission torque of the clutch is determined from a relationship between the stroke of the actuator and torque of an engine in the uniformly maintained slip state.
