Abstract:
Gear systems in precision machinery and aerospace applications are subjected to complex vibration problems due to mass eccentricity, time-varying backlash, and dynamic meshing parameter variations. A nonlinear dynamic model with six degrees of freedom is established, incorporating time-varying meshing stiffness, derived using the potential energy method and mass eccentricity. The Runge-Kutta method is employed to solve the system response under varying eccentricities and rotational speeds. Time-domain and frequency-domain analyses, phase portraits, and Poincaré maps are used to investigate the dynamic characteristics. The results indicate that mass eccentricity significantly influences system behavior, leading to the evolution from single-period to multi-period motions (e.g., 20-period cycles), and aggravates bifurcation and oscillation phenomena. The findings provide theoretical support for structural optimization and vibration control of gear transmission systems.
