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: 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 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 ...

Abstract: A model of dry friction tensioner in a belt-pulley system considering transverse belt vibration is developed, and the influence of the dry friction on the system dynamics is examined. The ...

Abstract: The parametric instability of planetary gears having elastic continuum ring gears is analytically investigated based on a hybrid continuous-discrete model. Mesh stiffness variations of the sun-planet ...

Abstract: Steady state analysis is conducted on a multipulley serpentine belt drive with a spring-loaded tensioner assembly. Classical creep theory is extended to incorporate belt bending stiffness as well ...

Abstract: The steady mechanics of a two-pulley belt drive system are examined where the pulley grooves, belt extension and wedging in the grooves, and the associated friction are considered. The belt ...

Abstract: This work analytically derives design rules to suppress certain harmonics of planet mode response in planetary gear dynamics through mesh phasing. Planet modes are one of three categories of ...
