In this paper, the nonlinear oscillation of planetary gear trains is investigated by the homotopy analysis method. The nonlinearity of planetary gear trains due to the periodically time-varying mesh stiffness and contact loss are included. In contrast to the perturbation analysis, the homotopy analysis method is independent of the contact loss ratio, and then can be applied to both small and large contact loss ratios. In this article, firstly the closed-form approximations for the primary resonance, sub-harmonic resonance, and super-harmonic resonance are obtained by homotopy analysis method. The accuracy of homotopy analysis method solutions is evaluated by numerical integration simulations. Results indicate that with relatively large contact loss ratios, the amplitude–frequency curves obtained by homotopy analysis method agree better with the results obtained by numerical integration than those obtained by the method of multiple scales. This study lays a higher accurate foundation for more complex nonlinear dynamic analysis of planetary gear trains.

In this paper, by implanting the rigid body rule (RBR)-based strategy for static nonlinear problems into the implicit direct integration procedure, an efficient and robustness nonlinear dynamic analysis method for the response of framed structures with large deflections and rotations is proposed. The implicit integration method proposed by Newmark is improved by inserting an intermediate time into the time step and by adding the 3-point backward difference in the second substep so as to preserve the momentum conservation and to maintain the stability of the direct integration method. To solve the equivalent incremental equations of motion, the RBR is built in to deal with the rigid rotations and the resulting additional nodal forces of element. During the increment-iterative procedure, the use of RBR-qualified geometric stiffness in the predictor reduces the numbers of iterations, while the elastic stiffness alone in the corrector to update the element nodal forces makes the computation efficiency and convergence with no virtual forces caused by the ill geometric stiffness. The proposed algorithm is advanced in the applications of several framed structures with highly nonlinear behavior in the dynamic response by its simplicity, efficient and robustness.
