Based on the Lagranges equations, a new nonlinear dynamic gear model is established by introducing two variables of relative rotation angleand mean rotation angle. The motion equations derived with Lagranges equation exhibit nonlinear terms which are absent in the equations derived on Newtons equations. Combining with the numerical simulation, the dynamic responses in time domain and frequency domain are deduced, and it can be concluded that the responses at low speed of three different models are different. However, they are similar at the designed speed without the consideration of dissipation energy. On the contrary, the dynamic responses are similar at low speed and the simplified Newtons equation differs at the designed speed including dissipation energy.
