Abstract
Abstract. Planetary gear trains (PGTs) are widely used in machinery such as vehicles, pulley blocks, wrist watches, machine tools, and robots. During the process of structural synthesis of PGTs using graph theory, isomorphism identification of graphs is an important and complicated problem. The reliability of the isomorphism detection method directly determines the accuracy of the synthesis result. In this paper, a novel isomorphism identification method for PGTs is proposed. First, a new weighted adjacent matrix is presented to describe the topological graph of PGTs, which has is unique in describing the structure of PGTs. Then, the weighted distance matrix is proposed and the sum of the matrix is obtained, which can determine whether the planetary gear trains is isomorphic or not. Eventually, the examples demonstrate that this new method can be accurately and effectively performed.
