To set up the virtual prototype of a gear train system in the dynamic analysis software ADAMS, the torsional vibration model of a gear pair was transformed into an equivalent transmission model in which a multi-body model was established in ADAMS and its meshing force solution model was established in Simulink. The time-varying mesh stiffness, gear clearance, meshing errors and other non-linear factors can be included in the gear meshing feedback model, more importantly, the influence of gear speed fluctuation on the time-varying mesh stiffness was taken into consideration. The simulation results contrastively prove the feasibility of co-simulation for obtaining the dynamic characteristics of gear meshing process.

The nonlinear dynamic analysis of a multi-gear train with time-varying mesh stiffness on account of the modification coefficient effect is in vestigated in this paper. The proposed application of the modification coefficient will revise the center distance of the gear pair, avoid undercut and raise the mesh stiffness of the designed gear system. In this study, the gear profile is generated from the relationship between the rack cutter and the gear work piece by using the envelope theory. The rack cutter with the modification coefficient increases the mesh stiffness and thus enhances the strength of the gear tooth. Then the time-varying mesh stiffness at the contact position of the gear pair is calculated from the tooth deflection analysis using the generated gear profile. With the obtained time-varying mesh stiffness, the nonlinear dynamic behavior of multi-gear train is investigated by using Runge-Kutta integration method. The numerical results of the studied examples show the harmonic motion, sub-harmonic motion, chaotic motion and bifurcation phenomenon of the gear train.

Abstract Based on “slice method”, the improved time-varying mesh stiffness (TVMS) calculation model of helical gear pair with tooth surface wear is proposed, in which the effect of friction force that obtained under mixed elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) is considered in the model. Based on the improved TVMS calculation model, the dynamic model of helical gear system is established, then the influence of tooth wear parameters on the dynamic response is studied. The results illustrate that the varying reduction extents of mesh stiffness along tooth profile under tooth surface wear, in addition, the dynamic response in time-domain and frequency-domain present significant decline in amplitude under deteriorating wear condition.

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.

In order to study the influence of tooth surface friction on the non-linear bifurcation characteristics of multi-clearance gear drive system, a 6 degree-of-freedom bending torsional coupled vibration model was established. The time-varying mesh stiffness, backlash, support clearance and damping were considered comprehensively in this non-linear vibration model. Loaded tooth contact analysis was used to calculate the time-varying mesh stiffness. Based on the elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication, the time-varying friction coefficient was calculated. Runge–Kutta numerical method was used to solve the dimensionless dynamic differential equation. Using phase diagram, Poincaré diagram, time history diagram, and spectrum diagram, the influence of tooth surface friction on bifurcation characteristics was studied. The results show that the system undergoes a change from 1-periodic motion, multi-periodic motion, to chaotic motion through bifurcation and catastrophe when the speed changes independently. When the friction coefficient of tooth surface changes from 0, 0.05 to 0.09, the chaotic motion of the system is suppressed. Similarly, with the increase in tooth friction, the chaotic motion characteristics are suppressed. Tooth surface friction is the main factor affecting chaotic motion. With the increase in friction coefficient of tooth surface, the chaos characteristic does not change obviously and the vibration amplitude decreases slightly.

Vehicle gearbox dynamics is characterized by time varying mesh stiffness. The paper presents a survey of methods used for determining mesh stiffness and the analysis of the centre distance influence on it. The refined mathematical transmission model presenting the centre distance as a variable is presented. The centre distance error as well as backlash and bearing flexibility is defined and the influence of these factors on mesh stiffness and spur gear dynamics is investigated. The results obtained from this paper may be used in gear‐box diagnostics.

In the actual measurements, vibration and noise spectrum of gear pair often exhibits sidebands around the gear mesh harmonic orders. In this study, a nonlinear time-varying dynamic model of spur gear pair was established to predict the modulation sidebands caused by the AM-FM modulation internal excitation. Here, backlash, modulation time-varying mesh stiffness, and modulation transmission error are considered. Then the undamped natural mode was studied. Numerical simulation was made to reveal the dynamic characteristic of a spur gear under modulation condition. The internal excitation was shown to exhibit obvious modulation sideband because of the modulation time-varying mesh stiffness and modulation transmission error. The Runge-Kutta method was used to solve the equations for analyzing the dynamic characteristics with the effect of modulation internal excitation. The result revealed that the response under modulation excitation exhibited obvious modulation sideband. The response under nonmodulation condition was also calculated for comparison. In addition, an experiment was done to verify the prediction of the modulation sidebands. The calculated result was consistent with the experimental result.
