Abstract: | In order to study the influences of different factors on nonlinear dynamics of face-gear transmission system, a nonlinear dynamic model is presented. This model includes backlash, general transmission error, time-varying meshing stiffness, meshing damping, bearings and external load, etc. Based on numerical analysis theory of nonlinear dynamics, the equations are solved and the bifurcation characteristics with different parameters are obtained. And the calculation results show that increasing the backlash and time-varying meshing stiffness will augment the dynamic load of system, but increasing the mesh damping will reduce the dynamic load effectively. |
