Abstract

The architectonics of the gear train information model (digital twin), developed on the basis of the lifetime mechanics of machines, is presented, and its main components – concepts, representations, models and methods – are described. These provisions and methods were created within the framework of the scientific school founded by Igor Tsitovich, Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of Belarus. Brief historic data are given. Currently, this direction is developing at the Joint Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. The developed architectonics contains several new components: three method of gear trains synthesis, universal kinematic-quasi-static calculations for the gear transmissions of any configuration, simulation of dynamics based on concept of a regular mechanical systems, strength calculations in the lifetime form, space of operation conditions, reliability calculations according to multilevel “mechanics-dependability” scheme, and a special method for reliability calculation under the general load conditions of the components. Basic representations of the transmission (kinematic diagram, a set of dynamic schemes, life-strength curves, schemes of limiting states, etc.) appear in the development process and go through all stages of life cycle. These components are complemented at the operational stage by transmission diagnostics and evaluation of its lifetime expense as a complex item and serves as accumulators of new knowledge and data about the item and its operation conditions (environment). The methodological provisions developed for the transmissions are applicable to a wide range of engineering objects. They are also presented in the State standards of the USSR and the Republic of Belarus.
