Abstract

A new analytical model of a spur gear system with sliding friction is presented. Unlike previous models, the excitation consists of two parts: the rotational driving speed of the pinion and the drag torque acting on the gear. The proposed model was validated with the finite element model. Using numerical method, the steady state resolutions was obtained to mainly demonstrate the nonlinear characteristics under both constant and variable excitations. The results obtained illustrate that sliding friction could introduce additional vibration. Moreover, the sliding friction even could decrease the dynamic transmission errors under proper operation condition. Further, the bifurcation diagram was plotted to show the influence of the rotational driving speed of the pinion on the dynamical characteristic of the gear system. Finally, the fluctuated excitation was used to exhibit their different effects on the gear system, which should form the basis of further analytical and experimental work in the gear dynamic area.
