This paper studies sensitivity of general compound planetary gear natural frequencies and vibration modes to all inertia and stiffness parameters. The results are expressed in compact formulae for tuned and mistuned compound planetary gears. Analysis reveals that for tuned (i.e., cyclically symmetric) compound planetary gears, eigenvalue sensitivities to stiffness parameters are directly proportional to modal strain energies, and eigenvalue sensitivities to inertia parameters are proportional to modal kinetic energies. Furthermore, the eigenvalue sensitivities to all model parameters are determined by inspection of the modal strain and kinetic energy distributions for a given mode. For mistuned systems, the results differ for the cases of tuned one mistuned parameter, two or more independent mistuned parameters, and two or more dependent mistuned parameters. For cases of one mistuned parameter, and two or more independent mistuned parameters, compact formulae of eigensensitivities are derived, and they are proportional to modal strain/kinetic energies. For the case of two or more dependent mistuned parameters, however, only general expressions of eigensensitivities are derived. These eigensensitivities depend not only on modal energies, but also on how the dependent mistuned parameters are related. Hence inspection of modal energies alone may fail to locate the parameter that is most effective in tuning natural frequencies.

This paper studies sensitivity of compound planetary gear natural frequencies and vibration modes to system parameters. Based on a lumped parameter model of general compound planetary gears and their distinctive modal properties [1], the eigensensitivities to inertias and stiffnesses are calculated and expressed in compact formulae. Analysis reveals that eigenvalue sensitivities to stiffness parameters are directly proportional to modal strain energies, and eigenvalue sensitivities to inertia parameters are proportional to modal kinetic energies. Furthermore, the eigenvalue sensitivities to model parameters are determined by inspection of the modal strain and kinetic energy distributions. This provides an effective way to identify those parameters with the greatest impact on tuning certain natural frequencies. The present results, combined with the modal properties of general compound planetary gears, show that rotational modes are independent of translational bearing/shaft stiffnesses and masses of carriers/central gears, translational modes are independent of torsional bearing/shaft stiffnesses and moment of inertias of carriers/central gears, and planet modes are independent of all system parameters of other planet sets, the shaft/bearing stiffness parameters of carriers/rings, and the mass/moment of inertia parameters of carriers/central gears.

This work develops an analytical model of planetary gears and uses it to investigate their natural frequencies and vibration modes. The model admits three planar degrees of freedom for each of the sun, ring, carrier and planets. Vibration modes are classified into rotational, translational and planet modes. The natural frequency sensitivities to system parameters are investigated for tuned (cyclically symmetric) planetary gears. Parameters under consideration include support and mesh stiffnesses, component masses, and moments of inertia. Using the well-defined vibration mode properties of tuned planetary gears, the eigen sensitivities are calculated and expressed in simple exact formulae. These formulae connect natural frequency sensitivity with the modal strain or kinetic energy and provide efficient means to determine the sensitivity to all stiffness and inertia parameters by inspection of the modal energy distribution.

This paper studies the sensitivity of general compound planetary gear natural frequencies and vibration modes to inertia and stiffness parameters. The model admits planetary gears having any combination of stepped-planet, meshed-planet, and multiple stage arrangements. Eigensensitivities in terms of eigenvalue and eigenvector derivatives are analytically derived for both tuned (i.e., cyclically symmetric) and mistuned systems. The results are expressed in compact closed-form formulas. The well-defined modal properties of general compound planetary gears simplify the expressions of eigenvalue sensitivities to ones that are proportional to modal strain/kinetic energies. Inspection of the modal strain/kinetic energy distribution plots provides an effective way to quantitatively and qualitatively determine the parameters that have the largest impact on a certain mode. For parameter perturbations that preserve the system symmetry, the structured modal properties imply that the modes of the same type are independent of the same group of system parameters. Parameter mistuning, with a few exceptions, splits a degenerate natural frequency of the unperturbed system into two frequencies; one frequency keeps its original value and retains its well-defined modal properties, while the other frequency changes and its associated mode lose its structured modal properties.

Abstract The natural frequency and vibration mode sensitivities to system parameters are rigorously investigated for both tuned and mistimed planetary gears. Parameters under consideration include support and mesh stiffnesses, component masses, and moments of inertia. Using the well-defined vibration mode properties of tuned (cyclically symmetric) planetary gears [1], the eigensensitivities are calculated and expressed in simple, exact formulae. These formulae connect natural frequency sensitivity with the modal strain or kinetic energy and provide efficient means to determine the sensitivity to all stiffness and inertia parameters by inspection of the modal energy distribution. While the terminology of planetary gears is used throughout, the results apply for general epicyclic gears.

A translational-rotational-coupling dynamic model has been built in the carrier-attached coordinate system.Differential equations of the system have been derived, and the natural frequencies and vibration modes of the planetary gear set have been obtained through solution of the associated eigenvalue problem. Based on the properties of the transmission system, the vibration modes of 2K-H spur planetary gear set can be classified into three categories, i.e., translational mode along radial direction, rotational mode, and planet mode.
