Abstract
This study investigates the mode properties of a two-stage planetary gear (TSPG) system with short intermediate shafts. For this purpose, the rotating intermediate shafts in this system are considered Timoshenko beams and compared with the Euler-Bernoulli beam model. The gyroscopic effect is also considered in the TSPG model. The natural frequencies are given, and mode energy analysis is applied to quantify the importance of intermediate shafts in the total TSPG system. The vibration modes are speed dependent, and three mode types exist. The influence of the rotational speed, length of intermediate shafts and number of planets is evaluated.
