Abstract

This paper presents a dynamic model of particle dampers in gear transmission, investigates the performance of particle dampers in centrifugal fields under different rotational speeds and loads, analyzes the influence of recovery coefficient of the particle on the amount of energy the damper dissipates, and the optimum recovery coefficient is determined by the value of damping factor, which can also be expressed as the ratio of damped energy to the load power. The recovery coefficient changes with the thickness of the composite layer on the particle surface. Using the well-established discrete element method (DEM), we find the vibration produced by gear transmission can be effectively reduced by particle dampers and we discover the optimum recovery coefficient under different rotational speeds and loads. In the end, the simulated results are verified by experimental data and the DEM model has been validated.
