Abstract: This work develops the dynamic equations of motion for a spinning disk-spindle system and casts them in a structured formulation that reveals the classical gyroscopic nature of the system. The ...

Abstract: In order to provide analytical eigenvalue estimates for general continuous gyroscopic systems, this paper presents a perturbation analysis to determine approximate eigenvalue loci and stability ...

Abstract: This work studies the effects of tooth profile modification on multimesh gearset vibration. The nonlinear analytical model considers the dynamic load distribution between the individual gear teeth ...

Abstract: This study investigates the dynamics of planetary gears where nonlinearity is induced by bearing clearance. Lumped-parameter and finite element models with bearing clearance, tooth separation, and ...

Abstract: This work investigates the stability of axially moving media subjected to parametric excitation resulting from tension and translation speed oscillations. Each of these excitation sources has ...

Abstract: Serpentine belt drives with spring-loaded tensioners are now widely used in the automotive industry. Experimental measurements show that linear system vibration coupling exists between the pulley ...

Abstract: A method is developed to evaluate the natural frequencies and vibration modes of serpentine belt drives where the belt is modeled as a moving beam with bending stiffness. Inclusion of bending ...

Abstract: The distinctive modal properties of equally spaced planetary gears with elastic ring gears are studied through perturbation and a candidate mode method. All eigenfunctions fall into one of four ...

Abstract: This work develops an analytical model of planetary gears and uses it to investigate their natural frequencies and vibration modes. The model admits three planar degrees of freedom for each ...

Abstract: This paper studies the sensitivity of general compound planetary gear natural frequencies and vibration modes to inertia and stiffness parameters. The model admits planetary gears having any ...
