This paper proposes an improved rigid multibody model for the dynamic analysis of the planetary gearbox in a wind turbine. The improvements mainly include choosing the inertia frame as the reference frame of the carrier, the ring, and the sun and adding a new degree of freedom for each planet. An element assembly method is introduced to build the model, and a time-varying mesh stiffness model is presented. A planetary gear study case is employed to verify the validity of the improved model. Comparisons between the improvement model and the traditional model show that the natural characteristics are very close; the improved model can obtain the right equivalent moment of inertia of the planetary gear in the transient simulation, and all the rotation speeds satisfy the transmission relationships well; harmonic resonance and resonance modulation phenomena can be found in their vibration signals. The improved model is applied in a multistage gearbox dynamics analysis to reveal the prospects of the model. Modal analysis and transient analysis with and without time-varying mesh stiffness considered are conducted. The rotation speeds from the transient analysis are consistent with the theory, and resonance modulation can be found in the vibration signals.

The Time Domain

The fault properties of compound planetary gear set are much more complicated than the simple planetary gear set. A damaged planet will induce two periodic transient impulses in the raw signals and generates modulation sidebands around the mesh harmonics. This paper aims to investigate the fault properties of a compound planetary gear set in damaged planet conditions. A dynamic model is proposed to simulate the vibration signals. The time interval between the fault-induced close impulses in the time domain is used as a significant feature to locate the faulty planet. Considering the phase relations, the time-varying mesh stiffness is obtained. Then, the fault properties are demonstrated in the simulation, and the theoretical derivations are experimentally verified.

Abstract Acting as an important internal excitation, sliding friction can cause the vibration and noise of the planetary gear set. In this paper, a dynamic model is developed to study the influence of sliding friction on the dynamic characteristics of the planetary gear set by including the time-varying mesh stiffness (TVMS), sliding friction forces and torques. An improved analytical model is proposed to calculate the TVMS with sliding friction. The explicit analytical expressions of the sliding friction forces and torques are also derived. Three kinds of different models are applied to investigate the influence of sliding friction: (1) the basic model: sliding friction is neglected in the dynamic model; (2) the improved model I: only the sliding friction forces and torques are considered in the dynamic model; and (3) the improved model II: both the influence of sliding friction on the TVMS and the sliding friction forces and torques are introduced into the dynamic model. The planetary gear set with three equally spaced planet gears is applied to analyze the dynamic characteristics under sliding friction. The simulation results show that the dynamic characteristics can be enhanced or disturbed by sliding friction. In the end, the dynamic model is validated by the experiments. Therefore, the influence of sliding friction is non-negligible when investigating the dynamic characteristics of the planetary gear set. The developed dynamic model provides a feasible dynamic research scheme for the planetary gear set with sliding friction.

The nonlinear dynamic analysis of a multi-gear train with time-varying mesh stiffness on account of the modification coefficient effect is in vestigated in this paper. The proposed application of the modification coefficient will revise the center distance of the gear pair, avoid undercut and raise the mesh stiffness of the designed gear system. In this study, the gear profile is generated from the relationship between the rack cutter and the gear work piece by using the envelope theory. The rack cutter with the modification coefficient increases the mesh stiffness and thus enhances the strength of the gear tooth. Then the time-varying mesh stiffness at the contact position of the gear pair is calculated from the tooth deflection analysis using the generated gear profile. With the obtained time-varying mesh stiffness, the nonlinear dynamic behavior of multi-gear train is investigated by using Runge-Kutta integration method. The numerical results of the studied examples show the harmonic motion, sub-harmonic motion, chaotic motion and bifurcation phenomenon of the gear train.

Abstract The thermal deformation of gears will affect the vibration of the planetary system; this research mainly studied the effect of thermal conditions on planetary systems nonlinear vibration under the thermal equilibrium state. To study the influence of gear temperature on the planetary gear system, a nonlinear dynamic model considering thermal deformation was established. The mathematical expression of the thermal time-varying mesh stiffness (TTVMS) varied with temperature, and the backlash caused by the temperature change was also computed. The influence of temperature on the TTVMS was investigated. The calculation results indicated that the methods used to determine the TTVMS and backlash of gear pairs were effective, and the trends of the change in the nonlinear dynamic characteristics with temperature were obtained. According to the fast Fourier transform (FFT) spectrums and root-mean-square (RMS) analysis, the influence of temperature change on the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the system was analyzed. When the temperature was lower than 80 °C, the vibration displacement and the supporting shaft load remained unchanged or decreased. Once the temperature was higher than 80 °C, the vibration displacement and load of the system were strengthened.

The gear damage will induce modulation effects in vibration signals. A thorough analysis of modulation sidebands spectral structure is necessary for fault diagnosis of planetary gear set. However, the spectral characteristics are complicated in practice, especially for a multistage planetary gear set which contains close frequency components. In this study, a coupled lateral and torsional dynamic model is established to predict the modulation sidebands of a two-stage compound planetary gear set. An improved potential energy method is used to calculate the time-varying mesh stiffness of each gear pair, and the influence of crack propagation on the mesh stiffness is analyzed. The simulated signals of the gear set are obtained by using Runge-Kutta numerical analysis method. Meanwhile, the sidebands characteristics are summarized to exhibit the modulation effects caused by sun gear damage. At the end, the experimental signals collected from an industrial SD16 planetary gearbox are analyzed to verify the theoretical derivations. The results of experiment agree well with the simulated analysis.

The nonlinear effects in gearboxes are a key concern to describe accurately their dynamic behavior. This task is difficult for complex gear systems such as planetary gearboxes. The main aim of this work is to provide responses to overcome this difficulty especially in nonstationary operating regimes by investigating a back-to-back planetary gearbox in steady conditions and in the run-up regime. The nonlinear Hertzian contact of teeth pair is modeled in stationary and nonstationary run-up regime. Then it is incorporated in to a torsional model of the planetary gearbox through different mesh stiffness functions. In addition, motor torque and external load variation are taken into account. The nonlinear equations of motion of the back-to-back planetary gearbox are computed through the Newmark- β algorithm combined with the method of Newton–Raphson. An experimental validation of the proposed numerical model is done through a test bench for both stationary and run-up regimes. The vibration characteristics are extracted and correlated to speed and torque. Time–frequency analysis is implemented to characterize the transient regime during the run-up.
