Comparisons of gear dynamic responses with rectangular mesh stiffness and its approximate form

The mesh stiffness is close to rectangular stiffness, and the first harmonic approximate term of rectangular stiffness is generally adopted in the nonlinear gear dynamic analysis. The differences between the rectangular stiffness and its approximate form are analyzed in detail. The frequency response and dynamic factor are calculated by a numerical method, to illustrate the dynamic characteristics of the gear nonlinear system with different mesh stiffness forms. The results show that: The trends of frequency response of gear dynamic system with rectangular stiffness and its approximate form are identical. The jump phenomena are detected in both cases. Without the effect of static transmission error, the dynamic factor with rectangular mesh stiffness is larger than that with approximate mesh stiffness. Under design power and speed condition, the result with approximate mesh stiffness function may deduce reasonless suggestions for a designer. The static transmission error will enlarge the vibration amplitude and dynamic factor when the approximate mesh stiffness is adopted, but the effects on the response of gear system with rectangular mesh stiffness are fractional. The mesh stiffness may excite the odd subharmonic resonance, and the static transmission error may excite the even sub-harmonic resonance respectively.     

An investigation on the influence of modification parameters on transmission characteristics of planetary gear system

A new gear tooth modification model of planetary gear system was established by considering the characteristics of tooth longitudinal crowning modification and tooth profile modification. Using this model, the influences of modification parameters on the time-varying mesh stiffness, transmission error, contact spots and dynamic response of the planetary gear system were analyzed through numerical analysis. The results show that tooth profile modification can effectively restrain the mesh stiffness sudden variation in the single and double tooth alternation of both the internal and external mesh pairs, and significantly decrease the transmission error fluctuation. However, longitudinal crowning modification has no marked influence on mesh stiffness sudden variation or transmission error fluctuation. The tooth profile modification can significantly reduce the sudden variation of tooth surface load during gear mesh course. Longitudinal crowning modification can make the tooth surface load evenly distributed in tooth width direction. When the external meshing pairs are modified at the tooth profile individually, the magnitude values of main response resonance peaks of internal meshing pairs have a great reduction, but those values of external meshing pairs change slightly. In the case of tooth profile modification of the internal meshing pairs, the phenomenon is reversed. By contrast with tooth profile modification, longitudinal crowning modification has little influence on the resonance peaks of internal and external meshing pairs.

Quasi-Static and Dynamic Behaviors of Helical Gear System with Manufacturing Errors

Time?varying mesh stiffness(TVMS) and gear errors include short?term and long?term components are the two main internal dynamic excitations for gear transmission. The coupling relationship between the two factors is usually neglected in the traditional quasi-static and dynamic behaviors analysis of gear system. This paper investigates the influence of short?term and long?term components of manufacturing errors on quasi?static and dynamic behaviors of helical gear system considering the coupling relationship between TVMS and gear errors. The TVMS, loaded static transmission error(LSTE) and loaded composite mesh error(LCMS) are determined using an improved loaded tooth contact analysis(LTCA) model. Considering the structure of shaft, as well as the direction of power flow and bearing location, a precise generalized finite element dynamic model of helical gear system is developed, and the dynamic responses of the system are obtained by numerical integration method. The results suggest that lighter loading conditions result in smaller mesh stiffness and stronger vibration, and the corresponding resonance speeds of the system become lower. Long?term components of manufacturing errors lead to the appearance of sideband frequency components in frequency spectrum of dynamic responses. The sideband frequency components are predominant under light loading conditions. With the increase of output torque, the mesh frequency and its harmonics components tend to be enhanced relative to sideband frequency components. This study can provide effective reference for low noise design of gear transmission.

Mesh relationship modeling and dynamic characteristic analysis of external spur gears with gear wear

Gear wear is one of the most common gear failures, which changes the mesh relationship of normal gear. A new mesh relationship caused by gear wear affects meshing excitations, such as mesh stiffness and transmission error, and further increases vibration and noise level. This paper aims to establish the model of mesh relationship and reveal the vibration characteristics of external spur gears with gear wear. A geometric model for a new mesh relationship with gear wear is proposed, which is utilized to evaluate the influence of gear wear on mesh stiffness and unloaded static transmission error (USTE). Based on the mesh stiffness and USTE considering gear wear, a gear dynamic model is established, and the vibration characteristics of gear wear are numerically studied. Comparison with the experimental results verifies the proposed dynamic model based on the new mesh relationship. The numerical and experimental results indicate that gear wear does not change the structure of the spectrum, but it alters the amplitude of the meshing frequencies and their sidebands. Several condition indicators, such as root-mean-square, kurtosis, and first-order meshing frequency amplitude, can be regarded as important bases for judging gear wear state.     

Effects of dynamic transmission errors and vibration stability in helical gears

Transmission error is an important reason for instability in helical gears. A six-degree-of-freedom dynamic model coupled flexional, torsional and axial motion of a helical gear transmission system, which includes time varying mesh stiffness, bearing supporting stiffness, mesh damping and backlash, is developed, after taking into account the dynamic characteristics and vibration responses of helical gear in three dimensions. Influences of involute contact ratio, bearing supporting stiffness, mesh damping and backlash on the dynamic transmission errors and vibration stability of the helical gear system are investigated using numerical simulation technique. The effects on dynamic transmission errors and stabilities by contact ratio, supporting stiffness and mesh damping as well as gear backlash are analyzed. The intrinsic relationship between above parameters and dynamic transmission errors and stabilities for helical gear system are presented. The stable and unstable regions under different parameters are given. The results in this paper can be helpful to the dynamic and stable design of a helical gear transmission system.     

Research on load sharing performance of wind turbine gearbox involving multiple-errors and tooth crack

The current research on wind turbine gearboxes (WTG) considering multiple-factors influence mainly focuses on dynamic response. However, load sharing performance (LSP) is also extremely important for gear transmission system reliability. In this paper, considering the comprehensive effects of manufacturing errors, assembly errors, clearance floating between stages, mesh stiffness and time-varying load, a coupled translation-torsion dynamic model for WTG was developed to study the LSP. Based on the amplitude variations of time-varying mesh stiffness caused by tooth crack, an approach is provided to introduce the tooth crack into the dynamic model. The results indicate the LSP is mostly sensitive to multiple-errors and severe tooth crack, followed by the time-varying load. The LSP of a system is periodically affected by tooth crack, and the fluctuation ranges increase with the crack growth. Furthermore, the crack of sun gear has greater influence on LSP than that of planet and ring gear.
