Abstract
Aero-engine is the most critical part of an aircraft. As its key component, the central bevel gear transmission system is always designed only considering the meshing vibration and ignoring structural characteristics of shafts and bearings, and comprehensive vibration characteristics is not well addressed. The transmission system may suffer severe vibration. To accurately study the dynamic characteristics of the system, a model of a central bevel gear transmission system is developed considering the effects of bevel gear mesh stiffness, shaft stiffness, bearing stiffness, and unbalance excitation in this paper. It has been validated by finite element software ANSYS. On this basis, the influence of variation of bearing stiffness and mesh stiffness on the natural characteristics of the central bevel gear transmission system is investigated. The influence of unbalance on the radial vibration and gear meshing force is studied by the analytical calculation method. A case study is carried out. The results show that variation of stiffness within a certain range will cause dramatic changes in the natural characteristics of the system. The unbalance of the driven bevel gear shaft has an effect on the radial vibration and meshing force of the system. The proposed model can reflect radial vibration characteristics, axial vibration characteristics, torsional vibration characteristics, and some coupled natural characteristics of the system. This research provides a theoretical basis to optimize dynamic performance and reduce the vibration of the system and will be helpful in designing the central bevel gear transmission system.
