Abstract

An original method to compute the steady state forced response of linear systems with periodically varying parameters under external excitations is proposed. The procedure is based on a modal approach with developments in the frequency domain. By using an iterative scheme to construct the approximate response, the spectra and the root mean square values of the forced response at every degree of freedom can be directly obtained. The technique has been successfully tested on illustrative examples and compared to the standard Newark method. Its efficiency is a consequence of the very short computing times needed. A practical application concerning a geared transmission system which is excited by periodic meshing stiffness is presented to demonstrate that this method is very effective in analyzing systems having many degrees of freedom.

    A complete procedure to predict ‘gear whine’ in a planetary gearbox is introduced in [31]. This approach is mainly based on a three-dimensional finite element model and makes use of a linear iterative spectral method by means of [32]. A nonlinear harmonic balance method is applied to a lateral–torsional lumped-parameter model in [33] to investigate the effect of multiple clearances.

    Analytical methods are thus less accurate than FE-based methods. After selecting one of the different strategies presented above, the static transmission error and the time varying mesh stiffness are introduced as an internal excitation in order to compute the gear dynamic response [39–42]. An accurate prediction of the STE and the mesh stiffness are thus essential to compute precisely the dynamic response.

    The excitation sources are characterized by various frequency components, so that the time discretization methods generally fail to solve the system of parametric equations of motion, since a short time step is needed, as well as a simulation during a long time range. Consequently, an alternative method has been proposed [25,48,19]. This iterative spectral method is based on the solving of the linear parametric equations of motion in the spectral domain and leads to reduce the computation time.

    Raclot and Velex [20] developed a modular model for 2-stage geared units including tooth shape modifications and errors. In view of the resulting broadband excitation spectra, the authors solved the state equations in the frequency domain using the method of Perret-Liaudet [21]. Kubur et al. [22] proposed a FE/lumped parameter of double mesh helical gears and emphasised the influence of bearing stiffness, shaft angles and gear hand configurations.
