Due to the complex working environment, gear systems always suffer from multiple excitations in actual engineering. This paper concerns the frequency response characteristics of a nonlinear time-varying spur gear system subjected to multi-frequency excitation. Firstly, a single degree-of-freedom gear pair model is established with consideration of the gear backlash, time-varying mesh stiffness and multiple harmonic excitations. Then, using the multiple time scales method, a comprehensive theoretical study is conducted to analyze various resonant cases including primary, parametric and combination resonances. Besides, parametric studies are accomplished to reveal the effects of the multi-frequency excitation on gear dynamics and to provide some useful references for reducing the vibration level. With the help of the fifth-order Runge–Kutta method, the numerical results are obtained to verify the validity of the analytical solutions and to emphasize the significances of the multi-frequency excitation. In addition, a comparison is performed between the numerical results and the published experimental results to validate the proposed gear model. Results show that the presence of the multi-frequency excitation will introduce the interaction between different harmonic excitations, which significantly affects the nonlinear vibration characteristics of a spur gear system. The proposed gear model with multi-frequency excitation could be more reliable and universal than that with single-frequency excitation. In addition, the results of parametric study could provide some suggestions to designers and researchers attempting to obtain desirable dynamic behaviors of a gear system subjected to multi-frequency excitation.

Abstract In this study, a nonlinear dynamic model of a spur gear transmission system with non-uniform wear is proposed to analyze the interaction between surface wear and nonlinear dynamic characteristics. A quasi-static non-uniform wear model is presented, with consideration of the effects of operating time on mesh stiffness and gear backlash. Furthermore, a nonlinear dynamic model with six degrees-of-freedom is established considering surface friction, time-varying gear backlash, time-varying mesh stiffness, and eccentricity, and the Runge–Kutta method applied to solve this model. The bifurcation and chaos in the proposed dynamic model with the change of the operating time and the excitation frequency are investigated by bifurcation and spectrum waterfall diagrams to analyze the bifurcation characteristics and the dimensionless mesh force. It is found that surface wear is generated with a change in operating time and affects the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the spur gear system. This study provides a better understanding of nonlinear dynamic characteristics of gear transmission systems operating under actual conditions.

A systematic dynamic analysis of a microsegment gear system with a time-varying base circle, time-varying mesh stiffness, and gear backlash is carried out in this paper. By discretizing the meshing process, a six degree-of-freedom nonlinear dynamic model of a microsegment gear pair is established. To study the dynamic response of the microsegment gear and involute gear under various operating conditions, the numerical integration method is adopted. The dynamic transmission error (DTE) of the two gears is analysed in terms of time history charts, phase diagrams, fast Fourier transformation spectra, and Poincaré maps. The effects of support damping and support stiffness on radial vibration are also investigated. Results reveal that, compared with the involute gear system, the microsegment gear system is more stable at the high-speed condition and has a smaller amplitude of DTE under medium-speed and heavy-load, high-speed, and heavy-load conditions. The support damping and support stiffness have great effects on the resonant peak in the radial direction of the microsegment gear. Both the proposed model and numerical results are expected to provide a useful source of reference for the dynamic design of the microsegment gear system.

This paper investigates the torsional vibration of a spur gear system with time-varying and square nonlinearities, by both the analytical method and numerical simulation. First, the equations of motion of a rotating spur gear system are established. Then a single-dof equivalent system is induced to describe the relative motion or torsional vibration of the gears. The harmonic balance method is used to obtain the steady-state response. Influence of the input torque on the response is discussed and a phenomenon, one resonant peak split up into two peaks when the input torque is high enough is revealed. Last, numerical simulations are carried out and bifurcation diagrams and amplitude-frequency curve is given by taking the excitation frequency as control parameter. Selected typical motions are also presented in detail by time-histories, phase portraits, Poincaré map and frequency spectra.

In this paper, a space-driven two-stage spur gear system is taken as the research object, and a 10 DOF dynamic model is established. Considering the high load characteristics of the space drive system and the time-varying stiffness and tooth clearance of the gear system, a nonlinear dynamic response analysis was performed. The characteristics of the vibration acceleration, shock and transmission error of the gear system are studied in this paper. This paper analyzes the relationship between backlash and return difference, and derives the theoretical formula between the two. The time-varying stiffness was corrected to make the theoretical model closer to reality. The research in this paper enriches the study on space drive systems and high load gear systems.

Abstract At present, the mean value of the meshing stiffness and the gear backlash is a fixed value in the nonlinear dynamic model. In this study, wear is considered in the model of the gear backlash and time-varying stiffness. With the increase of the operating time, the meshing stiffness decreases and the gear backlash increases. A six degrees-of-freedom nonlinear dynamic model of a new rigid-flexible gear pair is established with time-varying stiffness and time-varying gear backlash. The dynamic behaviors of the gear transmission system are studied through bifurcation diagrams with the operating time as control parameters. Then, the dynamic characteristics of the gear transmission system are analyzed using excitation frequency as control parameters at four operating time points. The bifurcation diagrams, Poincaré maps, fast Fourier transform (FFT) spectra, phase diagrams, and time series are used to investigate the state of motion. The results can provide a reference for the gear transmission system with wear.
