The Impact

A multifreedom tensional nonlinear dynamic equation of encased differential planetary gear train with multibacklash and time-varying mesh stiffness was developed in the present research. The nonlinear dynamic response was obtained by solving the formulated nonlinear dynamic equation, and the impacts of backlash on dynamic characteristics of the gear train were then analyzed by combining time process diagram, phase diagram, and Poincaré section. The results revealed that bilateral shock in meshing teeth was caused due to smaller backlash, thus causing dramatic changes in meshing force; hence, the gears were found to be in a chaotic state. Further, during stable motion state, no contact between intermeshing teeth with bigger backlash was noticed; thus, they were in a stable quasiperiodic motion state in the absence of teeth exciting force. Therefore, in order to avoid a bilateral shock in gears as well as to maintain gear teeth lubrication, a slightly bigger backlash is required. The backlash change in any transmission stage caused significant impacts on gear force and the motion state of its own stage; however, the impact on gear force of another stage was quite small, whereas the impact on the motion state of another stage was quite large.

The Impact

A dynamic model for helical planetary gear train (HPGT) is proposed. Based on the model, the free vibration characteristics, steady-state dynamic responses and effects of design parameters on system dynamics are investigated through numerical simulations. The free vibration of the HGPT is classified into 3 categories. The classified vibration modes are demonstrated as axial translational and torsional mode (AT mode), radial translational and rotational mode (RR mode) and planet mode (P mode) followed by the characteristics of each category. The simulation results agree well with those of previous discrete model when neglecting the component flexibilities, which validates the correctness of the present dynamic model. The steady-state dynamic responses indicate that the dynamic meshing forces fluctuate about the average static values and the time-varying meshing stiffness is one of the major excitations of the system. The parametric sensitivity analysis shows that the impact of the central component bearing stiffness on the dynamic characteristic of the HPGT system is significant.

This paper proposes a new non-linear transverse-torsional coupled model for double stage planetary gear train, and gear’s geometric eccentricity error, synthetical transmission error, time-varying meshing stiffness, sun-planet and planet-ring gear pair’s backlashes and sun gear’s bearing clearance are taken into account. The differential governing equations of motion are derived and solved by applying variable step-size Runge-Kutta numerical integration method. The system motion state is investigated systematically and qualitatively, and exhibits diverse bifurcation and chaos characteristics under different bifurcation parameters including meshing frequency, sun-planet backlash and planet-ring backlash. Analysis results showed that the increasing damping could suppress the region of chaotic motion and improve the system’s stability significantly; the route of period-doubling to chaotic motion was observed for both first and second stage’s motion state under the bifurcation parameter of meshing frequency; The routes of period doubling and crisis to chaos were identified under the bifurcation parameter of sun-planet backlash; Besides, the increasing damping ratio could split the bifurcation diagram window into different sections and strong coupling effects are generated to second stage’s motion. Several different types of routes to chaos were observed under the bifurcation parameter of planet-ring backlash including period doubling and 3T-periodic channel; Besides, it concluded that planet-ring backlash could generate a strong coupling effect to both stage’s nonlinear behavior.

A model to simulate the dynamic behavior of a single-stage planetary gear train with helical gears is developed. The three-dimensional dynamic model includes all six rigid body motions of the gears and the carrier. The generic nature of the formulation allows the analysis of a planetary gear set with any number of planets. Planets can be arbitrarily spaced (equally or unequally) around the sun gear. The model is also capable of handling different planet meshing conditions which are functions of number of gear teeth and planet positions. The linear time-invariant equations of motion are solved to obtain the natural modes and the forced vibration response due to static transmission errors. The proposed model is employed to describe the effects of the planet mesh phasing conditions on the dynamic behavior of a four-planet system.

Herringbone Planetary Gear Train

A bending-torsional coupled nonlinear dynamic model which contains the modification parameters of herringbone planetary gear train is presented. A formula of modification incentive is analyzed and deduced. The impact of the straight line and parabolic modification parameters on the amplitude of system transmission error is researched. The optimum modification parameters are acquired according to the minimum amplitude of system transmission error. Different amplitudes of the system transmission error, before and after modification, are compared at different rotational speed. The results indicate that the straight line modification parameters on the amplitude of system transmission error are more sensitive. Modification parameters on the amplitude of system transmission error are researched. When the length of the modification is specified, the amplitude of system transmission error is reduced sharply at first, then increased rapidly with the maximum magnitude of the modification increasing; When the maximum magnitude of the modification is specified, the amplitude of system transmission error is increased weakly at first, then decreased sharply, and increased rapidly in the end, with the length of the modification increasing. The modification parameters could form a crescent-shaped zone which can reduce the system transmission error amplitude significantly. The amplitudes of the system transmission error with modification are all reduced at different rotational speed, especially when there is a sympathetic vibration.
