However, the measures affect dynamic characteristics, especially at high speed. Encased differential planetary gear trains (EDPGTs) are used widely for a large load capacity. Thus, the dynamic characteristics of EDPGTs with different load-sharing mechanisms are studied. First, EDPGTs are divided into finite nodes. Second, dynamic equations for each component are structured by <em>Timoshenko</em> beam theory, considering gyroscopic coupling, gear error excitation, and time-varying mesh stiffness excitation. Then, meshing elements and supporting elements are incorporated into component models by connected nodes. Third, a finite element node model of the flexible pin is established. A simulation and experiment are implemented to verify the flexible pin model. Lastly, the overall dynamics model of EDPGTs is established and solved by the <em>Newmark-β</em> method. The commonly used floating sun gear, flexible pin, and flexible ring gear are considered separately and in different combinations, so eight combinations of load-sharing are proposed. Dynamics analysis demonstrates that rigid pins effectively suppress planetary gear vibration amplitudes in the <em>x</em> and <em>y</em>-direction, while a fixed sun gear configuration reduces the sun gear. Moreover, the rigid ring gear design attenuation the <em>θ<sub>z</sub></em>-direction vibrational displacement of each component. The analytical method provides theoretical support for optimizing high-speed planetary gear transmission systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17233,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sound and Vibration","volume":"619 ","pages":"Article 119385"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144863346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key concept is to reinterpret the free vibration caused by unknown initial conditions as the response induced by virtual forces acting before the start of sampling. This method transforms the challenge of dealing with unknown initial conditions into the task of identifying virtual forces. This allows both the actual and virtual forces to be identified within the unified framework of conventional GKFM, requiring only impulse response functions that can be readily obtained through experiments. Numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the method for both single-force and multiple-force scenarios. Parameter sensitivity analysis shows that the required virtual force duration for stable identification is insensitive to structural damping, loading patterns, and pre-sampling motion duration. Further investigation reveals that the fundamental natural period of the structure may be useful for determining appropriate virtual force duration.

We also take into account the temperature dependency of material properties, including Young’s modulus and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). Adhering to the variational principles of solid mechanics and linear thermoelasticity, we formulate the displacement field calculation of the gyroscope considering ring-beam continuity/boundary constraints. We use the Ritz method to convert and solve the subsequent optimization problems as quadratic programs (QPs). We obtain analytical expressions for the stiffness matrix variations under thermal stresses.

The simplest possible non-autonomous linear system undergoing dynamic stability loss is studied which serves as a solid foundation to explore the mathematical intricacy behind such systems. After defining the differential equation corresponding to this simple system, the complementary function is studied using a frozen-time approach. The particular integral can be evaluated for this system by the asymptotic expansion of error functions. We present a new approach for the approximation of particular integrals, the iterative integration by parts (IIBP) method, which is then extensively studied and compared to the equations describing the exact analytic solution. The convergence and sensitivity of the IIBP method are discussed. The method is extended to multiple degrees of freedom mechanical systems with time varying parameters.
