Summary
Gear vibration is one kind of parametric vibration, meanwhile, the vibration of a gear transmission system under slippage is also a self-excited torsional vibration. In order to study the torsional vibration of the gear transmission system under slippage in a high-speed train, a parametric vibration model of the gear transmission system was developed where the time-varying stiffness and the transmission error were considered. In the model, time-varying mesh stiffness of meshing teeth pairs was calculated using finite element analysis and expanded using the technique of Fourier series. Based on this model, the nonlinear characteristic of self-excited torsional vibration caused by the wheel-rail creep ratio was analyzed. Further, a multi-body dynamics model of the motor car including the driving system was established. Results show that when the wheel-rail creep ratio is in excess of the best value, selfexcited vibration occurs and the gear transmission system exhibits the phenomenon of a limited cycle at the same time. The self-excited vibration has no effect on the change of the main frequencies of the gear transmission system, but causes a strong vibration of the gear transmission system. The gear angular acceleration, gear meshing force and the acceleration of the gearbox will dramatically increase when the stick-slip oscillation happens, this should be avoided in the train operation.
