Abstract Acting as an important internal excitation, sliding friction can cause the vibration and noise of the planetary gear set. In this paper, a dynamic model is developed to study the influence of sliding friction on the dynamic characteristics of the planetary gear set by including the time-varying mesh stiffness (TVMS), sliding friction forces and torques. An improved analytical model is proposed to calculate the TVMS with sliding friction. The explicit analytical expressions of the sliding friction forces and torques are also derived. Three kinds of different models are applied to investigate the influence of sliding friction: (1) the basic model: sliding friction is neglected in the dynamic model; (2) the improved model I: only the sliding friction forces and torques are considered in the dynamic model; and (3) the improved model II: both the influence of sliding friction on the TVMS and the sliding friction forces and torques are introduced into the dynamic model. The planetary gear set with three equally spaced planet gears is applied to analyze the dynamic characteristics under sliding friction. The simulation results show that the dynamic characteristics can be enhanced or disturbed by sliding friction. In the end, the dynamic model is validated by the experiments. Therefore, the influence of sliding friction is non-negligible when investigating the dynamic characteristics of the planetary gear set. The developed dynamic model provides a feasible dynamic research scheme for the planetary gear set with sliding friction.

Abstract The thermal deformation of gears will affect the vibration of the planetary system; this research mainly studied the effect of thermal conditions on planetary systems nonlinear vibration under the thermal equilibrium state. To study the influence of gear temperature on the planetary gear system, a nonlinear dynamic model considering thermal deformation was established. The mathematical expression of the thermal time-varying mesh stiffness (TTVMS) varied with temperature, and the backlash caused by the temperature change was also computed. The influence of temperature on the TTVMS was investigated. The calculation results indicated that the methods used to determine the TTVMS and backlash of gear pairs were effective, and the trends of the change in the nonlinear dynamic characteristics with temperature were obtained. According to the fast Fourier transform (FFT) spectrums and root-mean-square (RMS) analysis, the influence of temperature change on the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the system was analyzed. When the temperature was lower than 80 °C, the vibration displacement and the supporting shaft load remained unchanged or decreased. Once the temperature was higher than 80 °C, the vibration displacement and load of the system were strengthened.

This paper proposes an improved rigid multibody model for the dynamic analysis of the planetary gearbox in a wind turbine. The improvements mainly include choosing the inertia frame as the reference frame of the carrier, the ring, and the sun and adding a new degree of freedom for each planet. An element assembly method is introduced to build the model, and a time-varying mesh stiffness model is presented. A planetary gear study case is employed to verify the validity of the improved model. Comparisons between the improvement model and the traditional model show that the natural characteristics are very close; the improved model can obtain the right equivalent moment of inertia of the planetary gear in the transient simulation, and all the rotation speeds satisfy the transmission relationships well; harmonic resonance and resonance modulation phenomena can be found in their vibration signals. The improved model is applied in a multistage gearbox dynamics analysis to reveal the prospects of the model. Modal analysis and transient analysis with and without time-varying mesh stiffness considered are conducted. The rotation speeds from the transient analysis are consistent with the theory, and resonance modulation can be found in the vibration signals.

The fault properties of compound planetary gear set are much more complicated than the simple planetary gear set. A damaged planet will induce two periodic transient impulses in the raw signals and generates modulation sidebands around the mesh harmonics. This paper aims to investigate the fault properties of a compound planetary gear set in damaged planet conditions. A dynamic model is proposed to simulate the vibration signals. The time interval between the fault-induced close impulses in the time domain is used as a significant feature to locate the faulty planet. Considering the phase relations, the time-varying mesh stiffness is obtained. Then, the fault properties are demonstrated in the simulation, and the theoretical derivations are experimentally verified.

Mesh Stiffness

The time-varying mesh stiffness (TVMS) is the crucial parameter of the dynamic model of the gear system. Accurate calculation of TVMS is essential for effective fault diagnosis of the gear system. A mesh stiffness improved method considering both the gear tooth transition curve and deformation of the gear body is presented in this paper, and the stiffness calculation expressions under healthy and crack states are given, respectively. Based on the lumped parameter method, the dynamic model of planetary gear with crack in sun gear is constructed, and the vibration response is solved. The simulation results show when the tooth root cracks appear, the vibration response of the tooth has obvious shock response characteristics. The characteristic frequency and frequency multiplication of sun gear fault can be found obviously by envelope analysis. The simulation signal and the test signal obtained by the drivetrain dynamics simulator gearbox test rig are compared and verified. The comparison and verification results show that the proposed TVMS calculation method and the dynamic model are accurate, which can provide a certain theoretical basis for the fault diagnosis of planetary gear with crack fault. The test results are consistent with the numerical analysis results, which provides a theoretical basis for the fault diagnosis of tooth crack.

Time- varying mesh stiffness and sliding friction between teeth are the great excitation for vibration and noise in gears system. But, there are rarely studies on this topic. This paper proposes a new dynamic modeling of gear system, which is effect of mesh stiffness variation, sliding friction and distribution of load. Firstly, the expression of time-varying mesh stiffness is gained, which is a period function. Secondly, a new friction modeling has the same period as mesh stiffness, is proposed. Thirdly, friction torque of each gear pair is calculated respectively, which is considering the distribution of load and time-varying friction arm. Finally, because all parameter have the same cycle, it is easy to get the approximate analytical solution to non-line model of gear dynamic by fourier transform.

Speed Fluctuations

Planetary gear is widely used in engineering and usually has symmetrical structure. As the number of teeth in contact changes during rotation, the time-varying mesh stiffness parametrically excites the planetary gear and may cause severe vibrations and instabilities. Taking speed fluctuations into account, the time-varying mesh stiffness is frequency modulated, and therefore sideband instabilities may arise and original instabilities are significantly affected. Considering two different speed fluctuations, original and sideband instabilities are numerically and analytically investigated. A rotational lumped-parameter model of the planetary gear is developed, in which the time-varying mesh stiffness, input speed fluctuations, and damping are considered. Closed-form approximations of instability boundaries for primary and combination instabilities are obtained by perturbation analysis and verified by numerical analysis. The effects of speed fluctuations and damping on parametric instability are systematically examined. Because of the frequency modulation, whether a parametric instability occurs cannot be simply predicted by the planet meshing phase which is applicable to constant speed. Besides adjusting the planet meshing phase, speed fluctuation supplies a new thought to minimize certain instability by adjusting the amplitude or frequency of the speed fluctuation. Both original and sideband instabilities are shrunken by damping, and speed fluctuation further shrinks the original instability.
