Whine Vibration in Gear Drive

기어구동에 의한 화인진동해석

The vibration of meshing gear system is originated form teeth deformation, teeth contact ratio, profile error, etc. The gear vibration is classified as whine vibration during meshing and as rattle vibration during idling. In this study, the whine vibration is investigated under the assumption of piecewise linearity of elastic stiffness due to the variation of meshing. Numerical, theoretical and experimental investigations show the existence of the superharmonic components of the second and the third order. consistently It can be concluded that the superharmonic components in whine vibration of meshing gear is originated from the stiffness variation. It also shows that the higher order harmonics are reduced on the increase of motor speed.
