Planetary gear transmission system is one of the primary parts of the wind turbine drive train. Due to the assembly state, lubrication conditions and wear, the mesh stiffness of the planetary gear system is an uncertain parameter. In this paper, taking the uncertainty of mesh stiffness into account, the dynamic responses of a wind turbine gear system subjected to wind loads and transmission error excitations are studied. Firstly, a lumped-parameter model is extended to include both the planetary and parallel gears. Then the fluctuation ranges of dynamic mesh forces are predicted quantitatively and intuitively based on the combined Chebyshev interval inclusion function and numerical integration method. Finally, examples of gear trains with different interval mesh stiffnesses are simulated and the results show that tooth separations are becoming more obvious at the resonant speed by considering the fluctuating mesh stiffness of the second parallel gear stage. The nonlinear tooth separations are degenerated obviously as the fluctuation error of the mesh stiffness of the second parallel gear set is increased.

Purpose Irregular windy loads are loaded for a wind turbine. This paper aims to determine the form of gear failure and the working life of the gear system by assessing the dynamic strength of gears and dynamic stress distribution. Design/methodology/approach The helical planetary gear system of the wind turbine growth rate gearbox was investigated, and while a variety of clearance and friction gear meshing processes were considered in the planetary gear system, a finite element model was built based on the contact–impact dynamics theory, solved using the explicit algorithm. The impact stress of the sun gear of the planetary gear system was calculated under different loads. An integrated planetary gear meshing stiffness, and the error of system dynamic transmission error were investigated when the planetary gear meshes with the sun or ring gears. Findings The load has little effect on the sun gear of the impact stress which was known. The varying stiffness is different while the planetary gear meshes with the sun and ring gears. There were differences between the planetary gear system and the planetary gear, and with load, the planetary gear transmission error decreases. Originality/value This study will provide basis knowledge for the planetary gear system.

Based on the lumped mass method, a torsional vibration model of the planetary gear system is established considering the nonlinear factors such as friction, time-varying meshing stiffness, backlash, and comprehensive error. The Runge–Kutta numerical method is used to analyze the motion characteristics of the system with various parameters and the influence of tooth friction on the bifurcation and chaos characteristics of the system. The numerical simulation results show that the system has rich bifurcation behavior with the excitation frequency, damping ratio, comprehensive error amplitude, load and backlash, and experiences multiple periodic motion and chaotic motion. Tooth friction makes the bifurcation behavior of the system fuzzy in the high frequency and heavy load areas, makes the chaos of the system restrained in the low-damping ratio and light load areas, advances the bifurcation point of the system in the small comprehensive error amplitude area, and makes the period window of the chaos area larger in the large-backlash area, which makes the bifurcation behavior of the system more complex.

The bearing clearance, external torque, and input speed can greatly affect vibrations of the planetary gear system. The double-row planetary gear systems are commonly used in the gearbox of special vehicles, which are the key parts to obtain a larger gear ratio. Although many works have been presented to study those factors on vibrations of the single-row planetary gear system, a few works were focused on vibrations of the double-row planetary gear system with the bearing clearance. To overcome this problem, a multi-body dynamic model of a double-row planetary gear system with six planet bearings and one supported bearing of the sun gear is presented. This model is the main part of a gear box transmission system. The new model is developed for studying the effect of the bearing clearance on the planetary system. The meshing stiffness and damping between the gears are obtained by current methods in the listed references, as well as the contact stiffness and damping in bearings. The liner stiffness and damping model is used. The effects of the bearing clearance, external torque, and input speed on vibrations of the system are analyzed. The results show that vibrations of the ring gear and sun gear decrease with the increment of the external torque and increase with the increment of the input speed. Moreover, a reasonable bearing clearance can be helpful for reducing system vibrations for some mating external torque and input speed conditions. The results can provide some guidance to find new method to reduce vibrations and increase the service life of planetary gear systems.
