Analysis of Dynamic Behaviour for Power Transmission Mechanism Using Linear Graph Theory

Abstract

The importance of system design in the field of mechanical engineering has been increasingly recognized, but suitable and useful methods for machine design are not yet established. The authors derive easy and useful designing methods for each machine element. They derived a new designing method by linear graph theory and analyzed the results of the dynamic behavior of a power transmission mechanism as an example. The mechanisms which are subject to restrictions of high accuracy and high performance must be designed by considering the characteristic of each machine element. This report deals with a more general power transmission mechanism containing a motor, bearing, and support, and analyzes the results of dynamic behavior. Provided that the analytical model and system graph as in this report are prepared for the mechanism, the performance of the mechanism is easily grasped by this method.
