Abstract: RV (Rotate Vector) transmission is a new precision transmission system. In order to improve its accuracy, we study the RV transmission system. It is researched in comprehensive factors including displacement errors, elastic deformation (static transmission error, design transmission error), gear meshing errors, backlash of gear, time-varying mesh stiffness, mesh damping, bearing stiffness, torsional stiffness of input shaft, etc. The mathematical and mechanical model of dynamic transmission accuracy is established by the concentrated mass method and the dynamic substructure method. Then, the meshing force of each part is analyzed in RV reducer. The motion differential equation of RV drive system is obtained, which lays the foundation for the calculation and analysis of the transmission error.

Abstract: The nonlinear dynamic model of Ravingneaux compound planetary gear sets has been built. The model includes time-varying mesh stiffness of gears, backlash as well as comprehensive mesh errors nonlinearities. By introducing relative displacements of components as the new generalized coordinates, uniform nonlinear differential equations of compound planetary gear sets are built. Then the nondimensional dynamic differential equations are derived. The nonlinear differential equations have been solved utilizing ariable step size Gill method. By changing system nondimensional excitation frequency, monocycle anharmonic response, multiply periodic subharmonic response, quasi-periodic response and chaotic response are obtained. By means of time histories, phase-plane diagram, Poincare maps and power spectrum, various responses are compared and analyzed in detail.

Abstract: The dynamic model of the gear transmission system is built in consideration of the time-varying mesh stiffness and the gear errors. Then the time history of the dynamic load of system is calculated. The gearbox structural-acoustic coupling system is built and its noise radiation is calculated by using BEM. The noise spectrum of the gearbox and the panel contribution are obtained. The influence of the gearbox structure improvement, structure damping and different gear style on the noise radiation is analyzed. The study provides useful theoretical guideline to the design of the gearbox.
