Abstract

The increasing demand for quiet gears has created an increasing demand for precise analysis of gear drive vibration. There has been a lot of research on gear vibration analysis; most of which was dealt with a single gear pair. This report shows a new method for building a vibration model for an actual gear drive system. Each gear has six degrees of freedom; three translational motions and three swing motions. Stiffness matrixes for each gear shaft and for tooth meshing were made and overlapped into a stiffness matrix for the total system. This enabled easy modelling of the complex gear drive systems; such as multistage gears and branched gears. The results are in good agreement with experimental results with respect to the major resonance frequencies and vibration modes.
