Abstract
Spline-gear-shaft (SGF), which is mainly composed of gear and spline shaft, is an important transmission system of RAT (driving the generator to output power with ram air). And its dynamic characteristics affect performance of RAT greatly. In this situation, gear coupling and spline coupling, must be taken into account when analyzing dynamics characteristics of SGF. The misalignment of axis for internal and external spline is inevitable owing to mass eccentricity and unconstrained in axial direction in a high-speed operation. Consequently, the dynamic model of SGF is established considering gear coupling and spline coupling based on whole transfer matrix method (WTMM) in this paper. In addition, numerical calculation method of meshing force for spline teeth under the condition of misalignment is presented considering the distribution force on contact surface of spline teeth in this paper, based on this, the coupled transfer matrix of misaligned spline coupling is established and the dynamic characteristics of SGF is analyzed using whole transfer matrix method with Riccati (WTMMR). The test experiments of dynamic characteristics for SGF are carried out by using portable vibration monitoring analyzer in this paper, furthermore, the time-frequency characteristics of SGF are analyzed through the analysis and processing of acceleration signal. The orders of magnitude for the first four natural frequencies with WTMMR are respectively consistent with experiment results, and the relative error is in the accepted range. Therefore, the correctness of solving meshing force and WTMMR for SGF are all verified. Moreover, it also shows that WTMMR is suitable for the analysis of complex coupled systems SGF and provides a new thought for dynamic analysis of complex shafting and promotes dynamic analysis to efficient and streamlined development.
