This paper introduces a complex multi-body dynamics model which is established to simulate the dynamic behaviors of a multi-stage hybrid planetary gearing based on the finite element method and the software ADAMS. The finite element method is used to introduce deformable ring-gears and sun-gears by using 3D brick units. A whole multi-body dynamics model is established in the software ADAMS. Mesh stiffness variation excitation and gear tooth contact loss are intrinsically considered. A rich spectrum of dynamic phenomena is shown in the multi-stage hybrid planetary gearing. The results show that the static strength of main parts of the gearing is strong enough and the main vibration and noises are excited by the dynamic mesh forces acting on the tooth of planet-gears and ring-gears.

This paper aims at the modelling and investigation of unstable journal bearing with an emphasis on instabilities such as oil-whirl or further induced oil-whip. For this reason, a test rig for the investigation of these phenomena was built. Geometry, parameters and operating cases of the rig are described in detail in the presented paper. Computational analysis of the test rig was performed using two methods — the finite element method and a multi-body approach. The calculations of pressure distribution in journal bearings were also performed applying two methods — the finite difference method and the finite element method. The results of the analysis are properly introduced and discussed at the end of this paper. The results suggest that a yet unknown sub-synchronous component may appear under specific conditions. The component typically appears at frequency 0.9–0.98 of shaft speed and is likely caused by a location of a bore for oil supply.
