Study on the Influence of the Damping to Nonlinear Vibration Caused by Pair Clearance
Because the two components have relative motion, pair clearance is inevitable. With the machine’s speed increasing, nonlinear vibration phenomenon caused by clearance is much obviously. The state of damping in pair clearance will often make mechanism’s nonlinear vibration appear different status. For the study of damping in joint clearances impact to nonlinear vibration, four-bar mechanism with clearance is taken as research object. A nonlinear dynamic model has been established based on continuous contact model. Through analysis the nonlinear vibration in different damping and clearance, it can be found that in weak damping condition, nonlinear vibration in small pair clearance is more sensitive to the small changes of damping than that in large pair clearance. So, it’s very important to keep the pair clearance in proper lubrication conditions.
