Effect of Particle Material, Size and Filling Percentage on Particle Damping Phenomenon for Gear Transmission System

Abstract

Particle damping is a passive vibration control technology. At the present stage, particle damping technology is developing especially in machinery and aerospace fields. For studying the particle damping effect different parameters such as particle material, size and filling percentage is used. One of the applications for particle damping phenomenon is gear transmission system. For simulation of particle damping discrete element method (DEM) software is used. The simulation results have been validated by comparing with experimental results of a physical system. Find damping effect due to particle damping from simulation and experimentation.
