To support the inspections of different contact walls (rough and smooth), a novel type of wall-climbing robot was proposed. Its design embodied a new gear transmission system arm and an adherence mechanism inspired by cicadas and geckos. The actuating structure consisted of a five-bar link and a gear transmission for the arm stretching, which was driven by the servos. The linkers and gears formed the palm of this robot for climbing on a line. Moreover, the robot’s adherence method for the rough surfaces used bionic spine materials inspired by the cicada. For smooth surface, a bionic adhesion material was proposed inspired by the gecko. To assess the adherence mechanism of the cicada and gecko, the electron microscope images of the palm of the cicada and gecko were obtained by an electron microscope. The 3D printing technology and photolithography technology were utilized to manufacture the robot’s structures. The adherence force experiments demonstrated the bionic spines and bionic materials achieved good climbing on cloth, stones, and glass surfaces. Furthermore, a new gait for the robot was designed to ensure its stability. The dynamic characteristics of the robot’s gear transmission were obtained.

According to the working characteristics of a 1.5 MW wind turbine planetary gear system under complex and random wind load, a two-parameter Weibull distribution model is used to describe the distribution of random wind speed, and the time-varying load caused by random wind speed is obtained. The nonlinear dynamic model of planetary gear transmission system is established by using the lumped parameter method, and the relative relations among various components are derived by using Lagrange method. Then, the relative relationship between the components is solved by Runge Kutta method. Considering the influence of random load and stiffness ratio on the planetary gear transmission system, the nonlinear dynamic response of cyclic load and random wind load on the transmission system is analyzed. The analysis results show that the variation of the stiffness ratio makes the planetary gear have abundant nonlinear dynamics behavior and the planetary gear can get rid of chaos and enter into stable periodic motion by changing the stiffness ratio properly on the premise of ensuring transmission efficiency. For the variable pitch wind turbine, the random change of external load increases the instability of the system.

AbstractIn order to study the different backlash, gear damping ratio and random disturbance on dynamic behavior of gear transmission system, stochastic dynamic equations of the three-degree-of-freedom spur gear transmission system are established considering random disturbances of a low-frequency external excitation induced by torque fluctuation, gear damping ratio, gear backlash, excitation frequency and meshing stiffness. Using bifurcation diagram, phase diagram, time course diagram, Poincaré map and power spectrum of the system, the dynamic characteristics of the gear transmission system with different backlash under gear damping ratio changing, and the influence of the random disturbance of gear damping ratio on the bifurcation characteristic of system are analyzed. Numerical simulation shows that the gear transmission system will be from periodic motion with a noisy disturbance to chaotic-like motion by period-doubling bifurcation with decreasing gear damping ratio. In the small damping ratio range, the backlash has great effect on the motion characteristics. Random disturbance has an important effect on the bifurcation characteristics.
