Modelling of power transmission systems for design optimization and diagnostics of gear in operational conditions

This article presents the author's dynamic model of power circulating gear test stand. It was assumed, that properly defined and next identified model can be used to analyze dynamic phenomena in meshing and bearings of gears and allows optimizing their construction, especially to minimize their vibroactivity. The article includes description of the construction of a test-stand, as well as short characteristic of the dynamic model. Afterwards it was presented verification, whether the model was correctly fine tuned. For verification purpose, were conducted laboratory measurements of velocity of transversal vibrations at the test-stand using laser vibrometer. Results of laboratory examinations were compared with the results achieved during computer simulation. Developed and presented dynamic model take into account a number of design, technological and operational parameters of gear. It was also presented algorithm of researches aimed at minimizing the vibroactivity of gear.
