Upshift control of a dry dual-clutch transmission

A system comprising:

• a dry dual-clutch transmission (dDCT) that is connectable to an internal combustion engine and that includes:
• a pair of non-lubricated input clutches;
• a lubricated gearbox containing oddly-numbered and evenly-numbered gear sets;
• and
• a pair of clutch pistons, wherein engagement of a designated one of the pair of input clutches by a corresponding one of the pair of clutch pistons connects the engine to a designated one of the oddly-numbered or evenly-numbered gear sets;
• and
• a transmission control module (TCM) in communication with the pair of input clutches, wherein the TCM includes a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which is recorded a calibrated torque-to-position (TTP) table and feed-forward, proportional, integral, derivative (PID)-based control logic, and wherein the TCM is configured to:
• detect a requested power-on upshift of the dDCT;
• command a position of the designated input clutch via the feed-forward, PID-based control logic;
• execute the requested power-on upshift;
• and
• selectively adapt the calibrated TTP table during the execution of the requested power-on upshift as a function of the inertia value and the acceleration value of the engine.

A method comprising:

• determining an inertia value and an acceleration value of an internal combustion engine in a vehicle having the engine and a dry dual-clutch transmission (dDCT);
• recording a calibrated torque-to-position (TTP) gable and feed-forward, proportional, integral, derivative (PID)-based control logic in tangible, non-transitory memory of a transmission control module (TCM);
• detecting, via the TCM, a requested power-on upshift of the dDCT;
• commanding a position of the designated input clutch via the feed-forward, PID-based control logic;
• and
• selectively adapting the TTP table during execution of the requested power-on upshift as a function of the inertia value and the acceleration value of the engine.
