Abstract

Presented in this paper is on the nonlinear dynamics of a planetary gear system with multiple clearances taken into account. A lateral-torsional coupled model is established with multiple backlashes, time-varying mesh stiffness, error excitation and sun-gear shaft compliance considered. The solutions are determined by using harmonic balance method from the equations in matrix form. The theoretical results from HBM are verified by using the numerical integration. Finally, effects of parameters are discussed.
