Abstract
Gearbox dynamics are characterized by a periodically changing stiffness due to multiple teeth contacts. In real gear systems, a backlash also exists that can lead to a loss in contact between the teeth. Due to this loss of contact, the gear has piecewise linear stiffness characteristics. This paper examines the effect of backlash in the two-stage gear system. A purely torsional gear system is formed by three shafts connected to each other by two spur gear pairs. Using standard methods for nonlinear systems (Newton-Raphson algorithm), the dynamic behavior of a gear system with backlash is examined. Amplitude jumps in systems due to backlash are observed.
