Dynamic excitation caused by time-varying meshing stiffness is one of the most important excitation forms in gear meshing process. The mesh phase relations between each gear pair are an important factor affecting the meshing stiffness. In this paper, the mesh phase relations between gear pairs in an encased differential gear train widely used in coaxial twin-rotor helicopters are discussed. Taking the meshing starting point where the gear tooth enters contact as the reference point, the mesh phase difference between adjacent gear pairs is analyzed and calculated, the system reference gear pair is selected, and the mesh phase difference of each gear pair relative to the system reference gear pair is obtained. The derivation process takes into account the modification of the teeth, the processing, and assembly of the duplicate gears, which makes the calculation method and conclusion more versatile. This work lays a foundation for considering the time-varying meshing stiffness in the study of system dynamics, load distribution, and fault diagnosis of compound planetary gears.

Planetary gears are widely used in mechanical transmission systems, but the vibration and noise affect their reliability and life. In this paper, the torsional dynamic model of an encased differential planetary gear with coaxial contrarotating outputs considering the time-varying meshing stiffness, damping, and phase difference of all gear pairs is established. By solving the equations of the derived system, three types of natural frequencies with different multiplicities of the system are obtained. The multiscale method is used to study the parametric vibration stability caused by the time-varying meshing stiffness, and the results are verified by numerical simulation. The dynamic characteristics of elastic meshing force are analyzed from time domain and frequency domain. The variation of the dynamic load factor of each gear pair with input speed and the relationship between its peak position and the natural frequency of the derived system are discussed. The results show that there is an unequal coupling phenomenon of meshing frequency between the meshing forces of different planetary sets. In the absence of external excitation, the meshing stiffness parameters not only excite the main resonance response of the system but also cause superharmonic resonance, subharmonic resonance, and combined resonance.

Influence Of Temperature On

Under high-speed and heavy-load conditions, the influence of temperature on the gear system is extremely important. Basically, the current work on the effect of temperature mostly considers the flash temperature or the overall temperature field to cause expansion at the meshing point and then affects nonlinear factors such as time-varying meshing stiffness, which lead to the deterioration of the dynamic transmission. This work considers the effect of temperature on the material’s elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio and relates the temperature to the time-varying meshing stiffness. The effects of temperature on the elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio are expressed as functions and brought into the improved energy method stiffness calculation formula. Then, the dynamic characteristics of the gear system are analyzed. With the bifurcation diagram, phase, Poincaré, and fast Fourier transform plots of the gear system, the influence of temperature on the nonlinear dynamics of the gear system is discussed. The numerical analysis results show that as the temperature increases, the dynamic response of the system in the middle-speed region gradually changes from periodic motion to chaos.

Considering the microstructure of tooth surface and the dynamic characteristics of the vibration responses, a compound dynamic backlash model is employed for the gear transmission system. Based on the fractal theory and dynamic center distance, respectively, the dynamic backlash is presented, and the potential energy method is applied to compute the time-varying meshing stiffness, including the healthy gear system and the crack fault gear system. Then, a 16-DOF coupled lateral-torsional gear-rotor-bearing transmission system with the crack fault is established. The fault characteristics in the time-domain waveform and frequency response and statistics data are described. The effect of crack on the time-varying meshing stiffness is analyzed. The vibration response of three backlash models is compared. The dynamic response of the system is explored with the increase in crack depth in detail. The results show that the fault features of countershaft are more obvious. Obvious fluctuations are presented in the time-domain waveform, and sidebands can be found in the frequency domain responses when the tooth root crack appears. The effect of compound dynamic backlash on the system is more obvious than fixed backlash and backlash with changing center distance. The vibration displacement along meshing direction and dynamic meshing force increases with the increase in crack depth. Backlash and variation of center distance show different tendencies with increasing crack depth under different rotational speeds. Amplitude of the sidebands increases with crack depth increasing. The amplitude of multiplication frequency of rotational frequency has an obvious variation with growing crack depth. The sidebands of the multiplication frequency of meshing frequency show more details on the system with complex backlash and crack fault.

Although tremendous effort has been applied to develop reliable strategies for detecting tooth cracks of gearboxes, these methods have generally fallen short of the required performance. Cracks are usually initiated at the root of a tooth and are very difficult to be identified from time-domain measurement. The vibration signal transformed by wavelet is sensitive to energy change. In this study, the transient vibration variations induced by different sizes of cracks at the tooth root are captured using wavelet. Firstly, as the main parametric excitation, the time-varying gear meshing stiffness caused by the alternating of engaged gear teeth is accurately calculated based on energy method, in which comprehensive deformations including Hertz contact, axial compression, bending, shearing and fillet-foundation deflection are taken into consideration. Moreover, a sophisticated dynamic theoretical model is used to simulate a practical gear system. Unique vibration signatures are captured through the comparison of cracked and perfect gear system.

The time varying meshing stiffness of normal and cracked spur gears of planetary gear train is studied by applying the unit normal forces at mesh point on the face width along the line of action of the single gear tooth in FE based software Ansys Workbench 14.5. The tooth deflections due to the applied forces at one mesh point are noted and a deflection matrix is established which is solved using Matlab to get net deflection and finally the meshing stiffness of gear tooth at particular mesh point. The process is repeated for other mesh points of gear tooth by rotating it to get meshing stiffness for whole gear tooth.

Taking the marine encased differential gear train as an example, the relationship between the journal bearing parameters and the meshing force of the transmission system is analyzed. In this paper, the dynamic model of the encased differential gear train with journal bearing is established considering the factors of time-varying meshing stiffness and comprehensive transmission error. In this dynamic model, four stiffnesses and four damping coefficients are applied to characterize the asymmetry and interaction of the oil film stiffness and damping of planet bearing. The system responses are calculated by the Fourier series numerical algorithm. The results show that the introduction of journal bearing in encased differential gear train can contribute to gearbox vibration reduction. Moreover, the planet bearing parameters (e.g., clearance-to-radius ratio and eccentricity ratio) of the differential stage affect the meshing forces of both the differential and encased stages. In addition, the influence of the planet bearing parameters of the encased stage on the meshing force of the encased stage is more obvious than that of the differential stage. This work may develop a theoretical analysis framework for the design and manufacture of marine transmission systems in the future.

Abstract In this study, a 42-degree-of-freedom (42-DOF) translation-torsion coupling dynamics model of the wind turbine’s compound gear transmission system considering time-varying meshing friction, timevarying meshing stiffness, meshing damping, meshing error and backlash is proposed. Considering the different meshing between internal and external teeth of planetary gear, the time-varying meshing stiffness is calculated by using the cantilever beam theory. An improved mesh friction model takes account into the mixing of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) and boundary lubrication to calculate the time-varying mesh friction. The bifurcation diagram is used to analyze the bifurcation and chaos characteristics of the system under the excitation frequency as bifurcation parameter. Meanwhile, the dynamic characteristics of the gear system are identified from the time domain diagrams, phase diagrams, Poincare maps and amplitude-frequency spectrums of the gear system. The results show that the system has complex bifurcation and chaotic behaviors including periodic, quasi-periodic, chaotic motion. The bifurcation characteristics of the system become complicated and the chaotic region increases considering the effects of friction in the high frequency region.

The double-helical gear system was widely used in ship transmission. In order to study the influence of backlash on the nonlinear frequency response characteristics of marine double-helical gear system, according to the structural characteristics of double-helical gear transmission, considering the time-varying meshing stiffness, backlash, damping, comprehensive transmission error, external load excitation, and other factors, a three-dimensional bending-torsional-axial-pendular coupling nonlinear dynamic modeling and dynamic differential equation of 24-DOF double-helical gear transmission system were established. The Runge–Kutta numerical method was used to analyze the influence of backlash, time-varying meshing stiffness, damping, error and external load excitation on the amplitude frequency characteristics. The results show that the backlash can cause the runout of the double-helical gear system, and the system has first harmonic and second harmonic response. With the increase of backlash, the amplitude of the system increases and the jumping phenomenon remains unchanged. The amplitude frequency response of the system is stimulated by time-varying meshing stiffness and comprehensive transmission error, and restrained by damping and external load excitation. The vibration displacement amplitude of the system increases with the increase of vibration displacement and has little effect on the state change of the system. The vibration test of double-helical gear is carried out. The frequency response components obtained by numerical simulation are basically consistent with the experimental results, which proves the correctness of the theoretical calculation. It provides a technical basis for the study of vibration and noise reduction performance of double-helical gear.
