Considering time-varying meshing stiffness, comprehensive errors, and piecewise backlash nonlinearities of gear and spline, a torsional nonlinear dynamic model of star gear-rotor coupling transmission system of (Geared Turbofan Engine) GTF aeroengine is established. By using the Runge–Kutta numerical integration method, the dynamic responses are solved, analyzed, and illustrated with the bifurcation parameters including input rotational speed, gear backlash, damping ratio, and comprehensive meshing errors. The motions of the star gearing system and diverse nonlinear dynamic characteristics are identified through global bifurcation, FFT spectra, Poincaré map, and the phase diagram. The results reveal that the star gear-rotor system exhibits abundant torsional nonlinear behaviors, including multiperiodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic motions. Furthermore, the roads to chaos via quasi-periodicity, period-doubling scenario, and mutation are demonstrated. These results provide an understanding of undesirable torsional dynamic motion for the GTF transmission system and provide a reference for the design and control of gear system.

The transverse-torsional nonlinear model of multistage gear transmission system which is comprised of a planetary gear set and two parallel gear stages is proposed with time-varying meshing stiffness, comprehensive gear errors and gear backlash. The nonlinear dynamic responses are analyzed by applying excitation frequency and support stiffness as the bifurcation parameters. The motions of the system are identified through global bifurcation diagram, largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE) and Poincaré map. The numerical results demonstrate that the support stiffness affects the system, especially on planetary gear set. The motions of the system with the changes of the support stiffness are diverse including some different multiperiodic motions. Also, the state of the system undergoes 2T-periodic motion, chaos, quasi-periodic behavior and multiperiodic motion. For the support stiffness or other nonlinear factors of the gear system, the suitable range of working frequencies could make the system stable. Correspondingly, parameters of the system should be designed properly and controlled for the better operation and enhancing the life of the system.

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.

The nonlinear torsional model of a multistage gear transmission system which consists of a planetary gear and two parallel gear stages is established with time-varying meshing stiffness, comprehensive gear error and multi-clearance. The nonlinear dynamic responses are analyzed by applying the reference of backlash bifurcation parameters. The motions of the system on the change of backlash are identified through global bifurcation diagram, largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE), FFT spectra, Poincaré maps, the phase diagrams and time series. The numerical results demonstrate that the system exhibits rich features of nonlinear dynamics such as the periodic motion, nonperiodic states and chaotic states. It is found that the sun-planet backlash has more complex effect on the system than the ring-planet backlash. The motions of the system with backlash of parallel gear are diverse including some different multi-periodic motions. Furthermore, the state of the system can change from chaos into quasi-periodic behavior, which means that the dynamic behavior of the system is composed of more stable components with the increase of the backlash. Correspondingly, the parameters of the system should be designed properly and controlled timely for better operation and enhancing the life of the system.

AbstractIn order to analyze the influence of the random parameters of the system on the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the gear transmission system, considering the random perturbation of damping ratio, gear backlash, meshing frequency, meshing stiffness and the low frequency excitation caused by torque fluctuation, the random vibration equations of three-degree-of-freedom gear transmission system are established according to the Newton’s law. The motion differential equations are solved by the Runge–Kutta method. The effects of different random parameters such as load ratio, tooth frequency ratio, damping ratio, gear backlash and meshing stiffness on the dynamic response of the gear transmission system are analyzed in light and heavy loads and low and high speeds.

AbstractIn order to study the different backlash, gear damping ratio and random disturbance on dynamic behavior of gear transmission system, stochastic dynamic equations of the three-degree-of-freedom spur gear transmission system are established considering random disturbances of a low-frequency external excitation induced by torque fluctuation, gear damping ratio, gear backlash, excitation frequency and meshing stiffness. Using bifurcation diagram, phase diagram, time course diagram, Poincaré map and power spectrum of the system, the dynamic characteristics of the gear transmission system with different backlash under gear damping ratio changing, and the influence of the random disturbance of gear damping ratio on the bifurcation characteristic of system are analyzed. Numerical simulation shows that the gear transmission system will be from periodic motion with a noisy disturbance to chaotic-like motion by period-doubling bifurcation with decreasing gear damping ratio. In the small damping ratio range, the backlash has great effect on the motion characteristics. Random disturbance has an important effect on the bifurcation characteristics.

Abstract. A noncircular face gear (NFG) conjugated with a pinion is a new type of face gear which can transmit variable velocity ratio and in which two time-varying excitations exist, namely the meshing stiffness excitation and instantaneous center excitation. Considering the tooth backlash, static transmission error and multifrequency parametric excitation, a nonlinear dynamic model of the NFG pair is presented. Based on the harmonic balance method and discrete Fourier transformation, a semi-analytic approach for the nonlinear dynamic model is given to analyze the dynamic behaviors of the NFG. Results demonstrate that, with increase in the eccentric ratio, input velocity and error amplitude, the NFG will undergo a non-rattle, unilateral rattle and bilateral rattle state in succession, and a jump phenomenon will appear in the dynamic responses when the rattle state of the gears is transformed from unilateral rattle to bilateral rattle.

In this paper, a coupling nonlinear dynamic model of the drum and subgrade is established for the vibratory roller. The dynamic characteristics of the rigid drum of the vibratory roller in the process of vibratory compaction are comprehensively investigated by time history, phase diagram, frequency spectrum, Poincare map, and bifurcation diagram. During the compaction process, the stiffness of the subgrade increases and the motion of the rigid drum of the vibratory roller changes from a single period to multiple periods and finally enters chaos by the way of period doubling. Moreover, the roller parameters also significantly affect the dynamic characteristics of the rigid drum and the compaction effect of the subgrade. Based on detailed numerical results, a parameter adjustment strategy about the roller frequency and nominal amplitude is proposed, which can avoid the “bouncing” of the drum during compaction and improve the compaction efficiency.

A coupled lateral-torsional nonlinear dynamic model with 16-degree-of-freedom (16-DOF) of gear-rotor-bearing transmission system (GRBTS) is developed after comprehensive considering the nonlinear features associated with time-varying meshing stiffness, backlash, transmission error, friction force, input/output load, gravity and gear eccentricity. Based on the nonlinear differential equations, the coupled multi-body dynamic responses of the GRBTS are demonstrated using the Runge-Kutta numerical method, and the effects of friction coefficient and mean load on the dynamic characteristics are investigated. The results show that the friction force could enlarge the vibration amplitude and affect the low frequency components seriously. The mean load excitation has a complicated influence on the coupled GRBTS, and the torsional vibration is the dominate response. Whereas the mean load excitation has a certain extent vibration suppression, and light load and heavy load could no longer effectively control the nonlinear vibration of the GRBTS. With the increasing of rotational speed, the friction coefficient and mean load ranges of the chaotic behavior widen and the chaotic characteristics strengthens. It is shown that small parameter random perturbation might be propagated in the vibration system and lead to relatively large vibration of the system. The contribution to provide a reference for the design and study of gear system.

A reliable nonlinear dynamic model of the quadrotor is presented. The nonlinear dynamic model includes actuator dynamic and aerodynamic effect. Since the rotors run near a constant hovering speed, the dynamic model is simplified at hovering operating point. Based on the simplified nonlinear dynamic model, the PID controllers with feedback linearization and feedforward control are proposed using the backstepping method. These controllers are used to control both the attitude and position of the quadrotor. A fully custom quadrotor is developed to verify the correctness of the dynamic model and control algorithms. The attitude of the quadrotor is measured by inertia measurement unit (IMU). The position of the quadrotor in a GPS-denied environment, especially indoor environment, is estimated from the downward camera and ultrasonic sensor measurements. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed dynamic model and control algorithms are demonstrated by experimental results. It is shown that the vehicle achieves robust vision-based hovering and moving target tracking control.
