The involute spur gear system has been widely utilized in the mechanical transmission domain, and the control of the acceleration noise of the involute spur gear system has become the key technology to solve the NVH performance of the power transmission system, especially in the automobile industry. In the process of the gear meshing, the unavoidable acceleration noise of the involute spur gear system is mainly caused by the meshing stiffness and error excitation due to the structural parameters. Therefore, the investigation on the effects of structure parameters on acceleration noise of the involute spur gear system is necessary. In this paper, the numerical model for predicting the acceleration noise of the involute spur gear system has been established. The simulation results of the acceleration noise were compared with the experimental results, and the errors between these two results were only 2.9%, within permission. The effects of structure parameters including base pitch error and pressure angle on the acceleration noise of the involute spur gear system have been discussed. Results showed that increasing the base pitch error, the acceleration noise level of the involute spur gear increased, and the gap of the noise level between different base pitch errors narrowed according to the increase of gear load and rotation speed. Increasing the pressure angle also increased the acceleration noise level, however, the gap between different pressure angles remained the same regardless the variations of gear load and rotation speed, which was different than the variations of base pitch error.

In this work, we propose some regularization techniques to adapt the implicit high order algorithm based on the coupling of the asymptotic numerical methods (ANM) (Cochelin et al., Méthode Asymptotique Numérique, Hermès-Lavoisier, Paris, 2007; Mottaqui et al., Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Eng. 199 (2010) 1701–1709; Mottaqui et al., Math. Model. Nat. Phenom. 5 (2010) 16–22) and the implicit Newmark scheme for solving the non-linear problem of dynamic model of a two-stage spur gear system with backlash. The regularization technique is used to overcome the numerical difficulties of singularities existing in the considered problem as in the contact problems (Abichou et al., Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Eng. 191 (2002) 5795–5810; Aggoune et al., J. Comput. Appl. Math. 168 (2004) 1–9). This algorithm combines a time discretization technique, a homotopy method, Taylor series expansions technique and a continuation method. The performance and effectiveness of this algorithm will be illustrated on two examples of one-stage and two-stage gears with spur teeth. The obtained results are compared with those obtained by the Newton–Raphson method coupled with the implicit Newmark scheme.

Due to the complex working environment, gear systems always suffer from multiple excitations in actual engineering. This paper concerns the frequency response characteristics of a nonlinear time-varying spur gear system subjected to multi-frequency excitation. Firstly, a single degree-of-freedom gear pair model is established with consideration of the gear backlash, time-varying mesh stiffness and multiple harmonic excitations. Then, using the multiple time scales method, a comprehensive theoretical study is conducted to analyze various resonant cases including primary, parametric and combination resonances. Besides, parametric studies are accomplished to reveal the effects of the multi-frequency excitation on gear dynamics and to provide some useful references for reducing the vibration level. With the help of the fifth-order Runge–Kutta method, the numerical results are obtained to verify the validity of the analytical solutions and to emphasize the significances of the multi-frequency excitation. In addition, a comparison is performed between the numerical results and the published experimental results to validate the proposed gear model. Results show that the presence of the multi-frequency excitation will introduce the interaction between different harmonic excitations, which significantly affects the nonlinear vibration characteristics of a spur gear system. The proposed gear model with multi-frequency excitation could be more reliable and universal than that with single-frequency excitation. In addition, the results of parametric study could provide some suggestions to designers and researchers attempting to obtain desirable dynamic behaviors of a gear system subjected to multi-frequency excitation.

Abstract A new model which accounts for both backlash and friction effects is proposed for the dynamics of a spur gear system. The model estimates average friction torque and uses it to replace the instantaneous friction torque to simplify the dynamical equations of motion. Two simulations, free oscillation and constant load operation, are performed to illustrate the effects of backlash and friction on gear dynamics. The results are compared with that of a previously established model which does not account for the friction. Finally, the effect of adding a damper on the driving shaft is also studied. This model is judged to be more realistic for real time control of electronmechanical systems to reduce gear noise and to achieve high precision.

Coatings can significantly improve the load-carrying performance of a gear surface, but how they affect the vibration characteristic of the system is an urgent issue to be solved. Taking into account the nonlinear factors like the variable mesh stiffness, friction, backlash, and transmission error, a six-degree-of-freedom spur gear transmission system with coatings is presented. Meanwhile, the finite element method is applied to acquire the time-varying mesh stiffness of the coated gear pair in the engagement process. With the support of the time-history curve, phase curve, Poincare map, and fast Fourier transform spectrum, the dynamic characteristics and the effects of the coating elastic modulus on vibration behaviors of a gear transmission system are minutely dissected by using a numerical integration approach. Numerical cases illustrate that the dynamic characteristic of a gear transmission system tends toward a one-period state under the given operating condition. They also indicate that, compared with softer coatings, stiffer ones can properly enhance the transmission performance of the coated gear pair. Numerical results are also compared with previous studies, and can establish a theoretical basis for dynamic design and vibration control of the coated gear transmission system.
