Planter gear system is one of the critical components of various industrial transmission systems. In general, the ring gear is elastically fixed with the gearbox. The gearbox materials and their assembly relationships will affect the support stiffness of the ring gear and system vibrations. In this paper, a multi-body dynamic model for a planetary gear system with the elastic support of ring gear is developed to discuss the influence of the radial support stiffness of ring gear on the system vibrations. The planet bearings are also considered in the multi-body dynamic model. The rotational speed of the planet gear and carrier from the simulation and theoretical results are compared to validate the developed multi-body dynamic model. The influences of the radial support stiffness of the ring gear, carrier moment, and sun gear speed on the time- and frequency-domain vibrations of the planetary gear system are analyzed. The results denote that the waveform and amplitude of the time-domain vibration of the ring gear are greatly affected by the radial support stiffness of ring gear as well as the peak frequency amplitude and its sidebands. The peak frequency in the spectrum of ring gear is slightly affected by the radial support stiffness. It indicates that this study can give some guidance for the vibration control approaches for the planetary gear systems.

An interative method has been developed for analyzing dynamic loads in a light weight basic planetary gear system. The effects of fixed, semi-floating, and fully-floating sun gear conditions have been emphasized. The load dependent variable gear mesh stiffnesses were incorporated into a practical torsional dynamic model of a planetary gear system. The dynamic model consists of input and output units, shafts, and a planetary train. In this model, the sun gear has three degrees of freedom; two transverse and one rotational. The planets, ring gear, and the input and output units have one degree of freedom, (rotation) thus giving a total of nine degrees of freedoms for the basic system. The ring gear has a continuous radial support. The results indicate that the fixed sun gear arrangement with accurate or errorless gearing offers in general better performance than the floating sun gear system.

Local faults including pits and spalls in any planet bearing can greatly affect the vibration of the planetary gear train, as well as the elastic support of the ring gear. However, the dynamic modelling methods in previous work can only formulate the local fault and the elastic support of the ring gear independently. To address this issue, a multi-body dynamic model for a planetary gear train with a local fault in the planet bearing and an elastic ring gear foundation are introduced to analyze the effect of local fault on the vibration. The local fault in the planet bearing is modelled as a rectangular one. Both the planet bearings including the radial clearance and ring gear with an elastic foundation are considered in the multi-body dynamic model. The contact stiffnesses and damping coefficients of gears and bearings are calculated by the methods reported in the literature. A Coulomb friction model is adopted to model the frictions between mating components of the system. In order to validate the proposed multi-body dynamic model, its simulation results are directly compared with those from theoretical methods as well as the experimental methods reported in the literature. Moreover, parameter studies are conducted to discuss the effects of local faults in the planet-bearing races, the sun gear speed, and the carrier moment on the vibration of the planetary gear train. The analyzing results of this study can provide some guidance for detection approaches of local faults in the planet bearings of planetary gear trains through vibration analysis.

Tooth friction is unavoidable and changes periodically in gear engagement. Friction excitation is an important excitation source of a gear transmission system. They are different than the friction coefficients of any two points on the same contact line of a helical/herringbone gear. In order to obtain the influence of the friction excitation on the dynamic response of a helical/herringbone planetary gear system, a method that uses piecewise solution and then summing them to analyze the friction force and frictional torque of tooth surfaces is proposed. Then, the friction coefficient is obtained based on the mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) theory. A dynamic model of a herringbone planetary gear system is established considering the friction, mesh stiffness, and meshing error excitation by the node finite element method. The influence of friction excitation on the dynamic response of the herringbone planetary gear is studied under different working conditions. The results show that friction excitation has a great influence on the vibration acceleration of the sun and planetary gear. However, the effect on the radial and tangential vibration acceleration of a planetary gear is the opposite. In addition, the friction excitation has a slight effect on the meshing force.
