A review of space tether in new applications

Gear eccentricities are one of the practical types of the manufacturing errors that affect the dynamic performance of a planetary gear train (PGT). Previous research about the effects of the gear eccentricities is abundant, and many of them focus on the parallel shaft gear set. However, almost none of them have considered the influence of the gear eccentricities on the mesh stiffness. In fact, the existence of the gear eccentricities can change the center distance and the mesh positions of a meshing gear pair, which will directly affect the mesh stiffness. Situation can be even more complex for the PGT with either sun gear eccentricities or planet gear eccentricities or both of them. Based on that, a new dynamic model of a PGT with gear eccentricities is established. The planar motions of the PGT and the mesh stiffness are integrated and solved simultaneously where the mesh stiffness is determined by the actual mesh positions of the meshing gear pair. The mesh stiffness is calculated by the energy potential method. The time-varying center distance caused by the gear eccentricities is also considered, which can result in the change of line of action, pressure angle, contact ratio and mesh positions. The influence of gear eccentricities on the dynamic performance of a 4-planet PGT is studied. Some useful results are derived at last.     

Dynamic characteristic analysis of spur gear system considering tooth contact state caused by shaft misalignment

The effect of gear contact state change due to shaft misalignment on meshing stiffness is usually neglected in the traditional stiffness calculation model with misalignment error, the further influence mechanism of shaft misalignment on gear dynamic characteristics is also unclear. To address these shortcomings, a new mesh stiffness calculation model with misaligned gear considering the effects of tooth contact state is proposed by combining the improved loaded tooth contact analysis (LTCA) model. Then the effects of tooth contact state changes aroused by shaft misalignment on the meshing stiffness excitation are investigated. Moreover, a dynamic model of the misaligned gear system with 8 degrees of freedom (DOF) is established, and based on which the dynamic characteristics of the gear system are investigated and verified by experiment. The study results indicate that the proposed model can be used to evaluate the stiffness excitation and dynamic characteristics of the misaligned gear system with the tooth contact state taken into consideration. This study can provide a theoretical method for evaluating and identifying shaft misalignment errors.

     

Stochastic Vibration Model of Gear Transmission Systems Considering Speed-Dependent Random Errors

A dynamic and stochastic simulation model is developed for analyzing the vibration of gear transmission systems with consideration of the influence of the time-variant stiffness, loads, and gear transmission errors. The gear transmission system is viewed as a non-linear, time-correlated and stationary stochastic system. The transmission errors of gears are decomposed into harmonic and random components based on the spectral analysis. To simulate the random component, a second order Markov process with time-variant parameters considering influence of rotational speed is proposed and the method to determine the model parameters based on the random error of measured gear transmission error is developed. A simulation system is developed. The input to the simulation system is a white Gaussian noise process and harmonic errors, and the output is the rotational vibration acceleration of gears. Experiments are carried out to verify the proposed model. The influences of the random error on vibration acceleration are examined using the developed simulation system.     

Bifurcation and chaos analysis of multistage planetary gear train

A nonlinear time-varying dynamic model for a multistage planetary gear train, considering time-varying meshing stiffness, nonlinear error excitation, and piece-wise backlash nonlinearities, is formulated. Varying dynamic motions are obtained by solving the dimensionless equations of motion in general coordinates by using the varying-step Gill numerical integration method. The influences of damping coefficient, excitation frequency, and backlash on bifurcation and chaos properties of the system are analyzed through dynamic bifurcation diagram, time history, phase trajectory, Poincaré map, and power spectrum. It shows that the multi-stage planetary gear train system has various inner nonlinear dynamic behaviors because of the coupling of gear backlash and time-varying meshing stiffness. As the damping coefficient increases, the dynamic behavior of the system transits to an increasingly stable periodic motion, which demonstrates that a higher damping coefficient can suppress a nonperiodic motion and thereby improve its dynamic response. The motion state of the system changes into chaos in different ways of period doubling bifurcation, and Hopf bifurcation.     

Bifurcation of multi-freedom gear system with spalling defect

This study focuses on the bifurcation characteristics of the four degree-of-freedom gear system with local spalling defect to explore the spalling nonlinear dynamic mechanism. The dynamic model of the gear system with spalling defect, time-variant mesh stiffness, and nonlinear clearance is established to investigate the effect of spalling defect on mesh stiffness and dynamic bifurcation. The primary resonance and internal resonance responses of the spalling model are analyzed by the averaging method, and the bifurcation characteristics with the evolvement of spall and internal excitation are studied by employing the singularity theory for the two-state variable system, which reveal the different bifurcation characteristics caused by the spalling defect. The results obtained herein can provide a theoretical basis to spalling fault diagnosis of gearbox.     

3D Dynamic Modelling of Spatial Geared Systems

In this paper, a nonlinearly dynamic model for a spatial geared systemwith intersecting-axes, which consists of bevel gears, bearings, andshafts, is proposed based on a specific finite element theory. A newtype of spatial gear element which is consistent with the specific finiteelement theory is developed and completely describes all thedeformations that exist for the spatial motions of a pair of bevel gears,the time-variant meshing stiffness, and various types of gear errors inmanufacturing and assembly. The 3D motions of the spatial geared systemin axial, lateral, and torsional directions are coupled in the model. Theproposed approach has been coded into a software system and a dynamicanalysis for the spatial geared system is carried out. The nonlinearinfluences of axial, lateral and torsional stiffnesses of the shaft onthe vibration of the spatial geared system are especially investigated.The lateral stiffness changes the resonance peak frequencies of thespatial geared system and the torsional stiffness greatly affects thesize of the dynamic load and vibration amplitude.

Vibration analysis of a beam with an internal hinge subjected to a random moving oscillator

In this paper, we investigate the dynamic response of a fixed–fixed beam with an internal hinge on elastic foundation, which is subjected to a moving oscillator with uncertain parameters such as random mass, stiffness, damping, velocity and acceleration. This model can be used to simulate the interaction among the train (vehicle), track and foundation, as well as simulate the bridge–vehicle interaction without considering the elastic foundation. In particular, the distributed parameter system is assumed to be a beam of Bernoulli–Euler type, and the system dynamic response is a random process despite its deterministic characteristics. By utilizing the modal analysis and Galerkin’s method, we can obtain a set of approximate governing equations of motion with time-dependent random coefficients and forcing functions. The improved perturbation technique is adopted to evaluate the statistical characteristics of the deflection of the beam, and the Monte Carlo simulation is used to check the results from the improved perturbation technique. The statistical response of the structure from the proposed approach plays an important role in estimating the structural safety and reliability.

Dynamic response of a single-mesh gear system with periodic mesh stiffness and backlash nonlinearity under uncertainty

Parametric uncertainties play a critical role in the response predictions of a gear system. However, accurately determining the effects of the uncertainty propagation in nonlinear time-varying models of gear systems is awkward and difficult. This paper improves the interval harmonic balance method (IHBM) to solve the dynamic problems of gear systems with backlash nonlinearity and time-varying mesh stiffness under uncertainties. To deal with the nonlinear problem including the fold points and uncertainties, the IHBM is improved by introducing the pseudo-arc length method in combination with the Chebyshev inclusion function. The proposed approach is demonstrated using a single-mesh gear system model, including the parametrically varying mesh stiffness and the gear backlash nonlinearity, excited by the transmission error. The results of the improved IHBM are compared with those obtained from the scanning method. Effects of parameter uncertainties on its dynamic behavior are also discussed in detail. From various numerical examples, it is shown that the results are consistent meanwhile the computational cost is significantly reduced. Furthermore, the proposed approach could be effectively applied for sensitivity analysis of the system response to parameter variations.

Nonlinear behavior analysis of geared rotor bearing system featuring confluence transmission

In this paper, the nonlinear vibration characteristics of geared rotor bearing system and the interactions among gears, shafts, and plain journal bearings were studied. First, with the consideration of backlash, transmission error, time-varying mesh stiffness, and layout parameters, the dynamic model of geared rotor bearing system featuring confluence transmission was proposed. The nonlinear oil-film forces were computed with the Reynolds equation for finite-length journal bearings. Second, the responses of meshing vibration and bearing vibration were discussed. The numerical results revealed that the system exhibited a diverse range of periodic, sub-harmonic, and chaotic behaviors. Under different ranges of rolling frequency, the system got into chaos state through different roads. Moreover, in lower frequency, meshing vibration showed coexist of different periodic motions. Lastly, couplings of nonlinear oil-film force and nonlinear gear mesh force were discussed through a range of rolling frequencies. Gear-bearing dynamic interactions were demonstrated through the analysis of dynamic gear loads and dynamic bearing loads, and the coupling effect behaved different when rolling frequency changed.     

Effects of the dynamic wheel–rail interaction on the ground vibration generated by a moving train

Based on Biot’s fully dynamic poroelastic theory, the dynamic responses of the poroelastic half-space soil medium due to quasi-static and dynamic loads from a moving train are investigated semi-analytically. The dynamic loads are assumed to be generated from the rail surface irregularities. The vehicle dynamics model is used to simulate the axle loads (quasi-static loads) and the dynamic loads from a moving train. The compatibility of the displacements at wheel–rail contact points couple the vehicle and the track–ground subsystem, and yield equations for the dynamic wheel–rail loads. A linearized Hertzian contact spring between the wheel and rail is introduced to calculate the dynamic loads. Using the Fourier transform, the governing equations for the poroelastic half-space are then solved in the frequency–wavenumber domain. The time domain responses are evaluated by the fast inverse Fourier transform. Numerical results show that the dynamic loads can make important contribution to dynamic response of the poroelastic half-space for different train speed, and the dynamically induced responses lie in a higher frequency range. The ground vibrations caused by the moving train can be intensified as the primary suspension stiffness of the vehicle increases.     

Nonlinear reduced-order model for vertical sloshing by employing neural networks

The aim of this work is to provide a reduced-order model to describe the dissipative behavior of nonlinear vertical sloshing involving Rayleigh–Taylor instability by means of a feed forward neural network. A 1-degree-of-freedom system is taken into account as representative of fluid–structure interaction problem. Sloshing has been replaced by an equivalent mechanical model, namely a boxed-in bouncing ball with parameters suitably tuned with performed experiments. A large data set, consisting of a long simulation of the bouncing ball model with pseudo-periodic motion of the boundary condition spanning different values of oscillation amplitude and frequency, is used to train the neural network. The obtained neural network model has been included in a Simulink®  environment for closed-loop fluid–structure interaction simulations showing promising performances for perspective integration in complex structural system.
