This paper presents a systematic model for the operation simulation and optimization of a novel multi-mode hybrid powertrain. The hybrid configuration proposed in the paper features a planetary gear train for an electric CVT mode in addition to lay-shaft gears for multiple speed ratios and realizes six operation modes in a simple structure. Detailed component level models were established for the multi-mode hybrid transmission and integrated to the overall vehicle model according to the system configuration using the Simulink/Advisor platform. The vehicle control strategy was then established with the objective to optimize the overall vehicle operation and each hybrid operation mode in terms of fuel economy and emission levels. The performance of the proposed hybrid vehicle system was studied using the developed model under various operation conditions and benchmarked with a current market model with leading performance parameters. The proposed hybrid configuration shows substantial improvements over the benchmark and is validated as a viable hybrid design based on the model simulation.

Isomorphic Structure

Abstract Planetary gear sets (PGSs) have been widely used in automatic transmissions (AT) and dedicated hybrid transmissions (DHTs). In this paper, a novel isomorphic detection method for planetary gear transmission structure is proposed based on matrix operation. The isomorphic detection process includes two main parts. In the first part, various components of the transmission structure are classified. In the second part, isomorphic structures of the numerous structures are detected. Through the application of the proposed detection approach, the structures obtained by different synthesis algorithms can be greatly reduced. Furthermore, by the analysis and transformation of the hybrid configuration to conventional transmission configuration, the scope of use of the algorithm can be expanded through the method. The proposed detection approach is capable of automatically detecting the isomorphic structure of the potential structures obtained by synthesis algorithm.

The Impact

As braking components, friction plates are key components in automobile transmissions. Due to tough working conditions, i.e. high speed, high friction, fracture and plastic deformation are easily observed in friction plates. However, most of previous studies mainly focused on the chemical analysis of the fracture friction plate, the researches on impact damage have rarely published in the listed literature. In order to investigate the impact damage for friction plate, a dynamic model for a friction plate of a 6-speed planetary gear train is established based on multi-body theory. The dynamic model of planetary gear transmission mechanism is constructed. The rotating speed of the inner hub is obtained. Furthermore, the contact force between the friction plate and the inner hub is calculated. The relationship between the vibration characteristics of the friction plate and operation conditions are studied.

Nonlinear Dynamics Model

A new nonlinear dynamics model of the double helical planetary gear train with 44 degrees of freedom is developed, and the coupling effects of the sliding friction, time-varying meshing stiffness, gear backlashes, axial stagger as well as gear mesh errors, are taken into consideration. The solution of the differential governing equation of motion is solved by variable step-size Runge-Kutta numerical integration method. The influence of tooth friction on the periodic vibration and nonlinear vibration are investigated. The results show that tooth friction makes the system motion become stable by the effects of the periodic attractor under the specific meshing frequency and leads to the frequency delay for the bifurcation behavior and jump phenomenon in the system.

A New Technique

The most important step in the structural synthesis of planetary gear trains (PGTs) requires the identification of isomorphism (rotational as well as displacement) between the graphs which represent the kinematic structure of planetary gear train. Previously used methods for identifying graph isomorphism yielded incorrect results. Literature review in this area shows there is inconsistency in results from six link, one degree-of-freedom onwards. The purpose of this paper is to present an efficient methodology through the use of Loop concept and Hamming number concept to detect displacement and rotational isomorphism in PGTs in an unambiguous way. New invariants for rotational graphs and displacement graphs called geared chain hamming strings and geared chain loop hamming strings are developed respectively to identify rotational and displacement isomorphism. This paper also presents a procedure to redraw conventional graph representation that not only clarifies the kinematic structure of a PGT but also averts the problem of pseudo isomorphism. Finally a thorough analysis of existing methods is carried out using the proposed technique and the results in the category of six links one degree-of-freedom are established and an Atlas comprises of graph representations in conventional form as well as in new form is presented.

The Impact

A lumped-parameter dynamic model for gear train set in wind turbine is proposed to investigate the dynamics of the speed-increasing gear box. The proposed model is developed in a universal Cartesian coordinate, which includes transversal and torsional deflections of each component, time-varying mesh stiffness, gear profile errors and external excitations. By solving the dynamic model, a modal analysis is performed. The results indicate that the modal properties of the multi-stage gear train in wind turbine are similar to those of a single-stage planetary gear set. A harmonic balance method (HBM) is used to obtain the dynamic responses of the gearing system. The responses give insight into the impact of excitations on the vibrations.

Abstract The kinematics of planetary gearing are complex; thus, making it difficult to build an effective dynamic model. In this paper, a single-mass model of a planetary gear and shaft system is developed to study the torsional vibration of the mechanism. Two new models of the system are proposed: (a) a fictitious co-planar model and (b) an equivalent shaft model. The results from the calculations and analyses using these models indicate that: 1) the single-mass model and the general rotary model are both limited, either mathematically or geometrically; 2) the fictitious co-planar model includes all of the geometric and dynamic parameters of the general rotary model, and it can be connected with the shaft system easily; and 3) using a mathematical treatment, the equivalent shaft model is demonstrated to be the most useful and most effective model for the calculation of torsional vibration of a shaft and planetary gear train.

The nested planetary gear train, which has two integrated single-stage planetary gearsets, is one of the newly developed compound gear train that has been successfully applied to the automobile transmissions. In the current study, a certain type of gear fault in the nested gear train, ungrounded pinion, is investigated using a non-destructive approach monitoring its vibration levels. A novel experimental test stand with open and vertical setup has been designed to collect the vibrational data by mounting the accelerometer directly to the gear clutches. Each of the two layers of the compound gear was tested separately. The measured vibrational data were processed with several signal processing techniques, which includes (a) frequency spectrum analysis, (b) time synchronous averaging (TSA) and (c) modulation sideband analysis. The experimental results show that the existence of the ungrounded pinion can be identified with the frequency spectrum analysis of the vibrational data. In addition, the modulation sidebands are also modeled using a modified version of the traditional technique of physical signal modeling. It is shown that the relative phase of the planet and the meshing vibration strength changed by the unground gear is the critical factor for determining the modulation sideband behavior. In addition, the location of the ungrounded pinion can also be determined by the time history processed by TSA.
