Abstract

Recently, a new type of vibration isolator called a dynamic antiresonant vibration isolator (DAVI) has been studied for torsional systems as well as translational systems. In the DAVI for torsional systems, the inertia coupling for the anti-resonance effect is generated by a planetary gear that connects control inertia and inertias at the input and output terminals. In this research, an analytical modeling approach called the transfer matrix method is applied to design a planetary gear type DAVI for complex systems such as an automotive powertrain. Unlike a previous study, inertias of the pinion gears are newly included in the transfer matrix model to improve the model accuracy in this paper. In this part 1 of series papers, the internal configuration of a planetary gear type DAVI system is described and its dynamic model is derived using the transfer matrix method. The derived transfer matrix model is then validated by comparing its frequency response with those obtained by conventional and numerical methods. Finally, the effects of different gear ratios and pinion gear inertia are examined using the derived transfer matrix model.
