Nonlinear Dynamic Model and Equations of RV Transmission System

Abstract

The nonlinear dynamics model of gearing system is developed based on RV transmission system. The influence of the nonlinear factors as time-varying meshing stiffness, backlash of the gear pairs and errors is considered. By means of the Lagrange equation the multi-degree-of-freedom differential equations of motion are derived. The differential equations are very hard to solve for which are characterized by positive semi-definition, time-variation and backlash-type nonlinearity. And linear and nonlinear restoring force are coexist in the equations. In order to solve easily, the differential equations are transformed to identical dimensionless nonlinear differential equations in matrix form. The establishment of the nonlinear differential equations laid a foundation for The Solution of differential equations and the analysis of the nonlinearity characteristics.
