In this study, a new rigid–flexible gear with metal rubber is proposed to reduce the vibration of the gear transmission system. A nonlinear dynamic model with nine degrees of freedom considering bearing clearance, gear backlash, surface friction, and time-varying meshing stiffness is established. The nondimensional dynamic model of the transmission system is obtained and the bifurcation characteristics of the new rigid–flexible gear pair and the rigid gear pair are analyzed when the damping coefficient is, respectively, 0.03 and 0.1. The result shows that the motion state of the rigid–flexible gear pair is more stable. The dynamic responses of the rigid gear pair and the rigid–flexible gear pair are compared as well through numerical analysis and experiment to illustrate the advantage of the rigid–flexible gear pair in vibration reduction. The results can provide reference for vibration reduction of the novel gear transmission.

Coatings can significantly improve the load-carrying performance of a gear surface, but how they affect the vibration characteristic of the system is an urgent issue to be solved. Taking into account the nonlinear factors like the variable mesh stiffness, friction, backlash, and transmission error, a six-degree-of-freedom spur gear transmission system with coatings is presented. Meanwhile, the finite element method is applied to acquire the time-varying mesh stiffness of the coated gear pair in the engagement process. With the support of the time-history curve, phase curve, Poincare map, and fast Fourier transform spectrum, the dynamic characteristics and the effects of the coating elastic modulus on vibration behaviors of a gear transmission system are minutely dissected by using a numerical integration approach. Numerical cases illustrate that the dynamic characteristic of a gear transmission system tends toward a one-period state under the given operating condition. They also indicate that, compared with softer coatings, stiffer ones can properly enhance the transmission performance of the coated gear pair. Numerical results are also compared with previous studies, and can establish a theoretical basis for dynamic design and vibration control of the coated gear transmission system.

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.

Driving Torque

Failure of cutterhead driving system (CDS) of tunnel boring machine (TBM) often occurs under shock and vibration conditions. To investigate the dynamic characteristics and reduce system vibration further, an electromechanical coupling model of CDS is established which includes the model of direct torque control (DTC) system for three-phase asynchronous motor and purely torsional dynamic model of multistage gear transmission system. The proposed DTC model can provide driving torque just as the practical inverter motor operates so that the influence of motor operating behavior will not be erroneously estimated. Moreover, nonlinear gear meshing factors, such as time-variant mesh stiffness and transmission error, are involved in the dynamic model. Based on the established nonlinear model of CDS, vibration modes can be classified into three types, that is, rigid motion mode, rotational vibration mode, and planet vibration mode. Moreover, dynamic responses under actual driving torque and idealized equivalent torque are compared, which reveals that the ripple of actual driving torque would aggravate vibration of gear transmission system. Influence index of torque ripple is proposed to show that vibration of system increases with torque ripple. This study provides useful guideline for antivibration design and motor control of CDS in TBM.

A nonlinear purely rotational dynamic model of a multistage closed-form planetary gear set formed by two simple planetary stages is proposed in this study. The model includes time-varying mesh stiffness, excitation fluctuation and gear backlash nonlinearities. The nonlinear differential equations of motion are solved numerically using variable step-size Runge-Kutta. In order to obtain function expression of optimization objective, the nonlinear differential equations of motion are solved analytically using harmonic balance method (HBM). Based on the analytical solution of dynamic equations, the optimization mathematical model which aims at minimizing the vibration displacement of the low-speed carrier and the total mass of the gear transmission system is established. The optimization toolbox in MATLAB program is adopted to obtain the optimal solution. A case is studied to demonstrate the effectiveness of the dynamic model and the optimization method. The results show that the dynamic properties of the closed-form planetary gear transmission system have been improved and the total mass of the gear set has been decreased significantly.

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.

The lightweight design of the gear system is the current tendency. The gearbox housing is modeled as a rigid body and is neglected in the gear dynamic analysis. It is of great significance to introduce the gearbox housing flexibility into the dynamic analysis and analyze the influence of the gearbox housing flexibility on the dynamic behaviors of the gear transmission system, as this can provide important instructions for the lightweight structure design of the housing. The gear–rotor–bearing model and the gear–rotor–bearing–housing model are established by the finite element node method. A Timoshenko beam element is used to represent the shafts. To illustrate the housing effect, two kinds of housing model are established: one tends to be rigid and the other to be flexible and lighter. The housings are simplified as a super element obtained by the dynamic substructure method. Natural frequencies and dynamic responses are illustrated to indicate the effects of housing flexibility. Comparisons of numerical results show that the rigid housing can be neglected for its little effect on the dynamic analysis. The flexibility of the housing slightly reduces the natural frequencies of the gear transmission system, and the maximum reduction is 6.05%. Meanwhile, the amplitudes of the first two resonance peaks of the dynamic transmission error decrease by 9.5% and 5.05%. Besides, more response peaks emerge at higher speeds when the flexibility of housing increases. The complete phenomena of dynamic behaviors of the gear transmission system can be obtained by considering the housing flexibility.

The periodic and chaotic dynamic responses of face gear transmission system considering time-varying mesh stiffness and backlash nonlinearity are studied. Firstly, a nonlinear time-varying dynamic model of face gear pair is developed and the motion equations are presented, the real accurate mesh stiffness is obtained by applying Finite element approach. Then, the dynamic equations are solved using Runge-Kutta numerical integral method and bifurcation diagrams are presented and analyzed. The stability properties of steady state responses are illustrated with Floquet multipliers and Lyapunov exponents. The results show that a process of periodic-chaotic-periodic motion exists with the dimensionless pinion rotational frequency as control parameters. The analysis can be a reference to avoid the chaotic motion and unstable periodic motion through choosing suitable rotational frequency.
