This paper proposes a dynamic model for the first time in order to investigate nonlinear time-varying dynamic behavior of a drivetrain including parallel axis gears (such as spur and helical gears) and intersecting axis gears (such as spiral bevel gears). Flexibilities of shafts and bearings are included in the dynamic model by the use of finite element modeling. Finite element models of shafts are coupled with each other by the mesh models of gear pairs including backlash nonlinearity and fluctuating mesh stiffness. A system of nonlinear algebraic equations is established from the resulting nonlinear differential equations of motion by utilizing multi-harmonic harmonic balance method (HBM) in conjunction with continuous-time Fourier transform (CFT). Since the number of nonlinear equations is large, potential convergence problems are avoided by utilizing continuous-time Fourier transform, in contrast with gear dynamics studies that use discrete Fourier transform (DFT). Solutions obtained by utilizing CFT and DFT are compared, and the advantages of utilizing CFT are shown. Fourier coefficients are calculated by utilizing analytical integration rather than numerical integration for a further improvement in computational time. A new solution method, modal superposition method, is introduced for the first time to study nonlinear dynamics of drivetrains with multiple gear meshes, which is impractical if traditional solution methods are used due to the increased number of nonlinear equations. Using modal superposition method, the number of nonlinear equations becomes proportional to the number of modes employed which is significantly less than the number of degrees of freedom associated with nonlinearities, especially as the number of gear meshes in the drivetrain increases. Consequently, the proposed method decreases the computational effort drastically in the forced response analysis of multi-mesh, multi-stage gear systems and also makes it possible to model gear shafts by using finite element method. The resulting system of nonlinear algebraic equations is solved by utilizing Newton's method with arc-length continuation. Solutions obtained by HBM are validated by the solutions obtained by direct numerical integration. Several parametric studies are carried out in order to investigate the effects of design parameters on the dynamics of the drivetrain. It is observed that nonlinear modeling of helical gear pairs is necessary if they are coupled with spur or spiral bevel gear pairs.

Nonlinear time-varying dynamic analysis of a spiral bevel geared system
Yavuz, Siar Deniz; Sarıbay, Zihni Burcay; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-06-01)
In this paper, a nonlinear time-varying dynamic model of a drivetrain composed of a spiral bevel gear pair, shafts and bearings is developed. Gear shafts are modeled by utilizing Timoshenko beam finite elements, and the mesh model of a spiral bevel gear pair is used to couple them. The dynamic model includes the flexibilities of shaft bearings as well. Gear backlash and time variation of mesh stiffness are incorporated into the dynamic model. Clearance nonlinearity of bearings is assumed to be negligible, w...
Approximate analytic solutions to non-symmetric stance trajectories of the passive Spring-Loaded Inverted Pendulum with damping
Saranlı, Uluç; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-12-01)
This paper introduces an accurate yet analytically simple approximation to the stance dynamics of the Spring-Loaded Inverted Pendulum (SLIP) model in the presence of non-negligible damping and non-symmetric stance trajectories. Since the SLIP model has long been established as an accurate descriptive model for running behaviors, its careful analysis is instrumental in the design of successful locomotion controllers. Unfortunately, none of the existing analytic methods in the literature explicitly take dampi...
Nonlinear flutter calculations using finite elements in a direct Eulerian-Lagrangian formulation
Seber, Guclu; Bendiksen, Oddvar O. (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2008-06-01)
A fully nonlinear aeroelastic formulation of the direct Eulerian-Lagrangian computational scheme is presented in which both structural and aerodynamic nonlinearities are treated without approximations. The method is direct in the sense that the calculations are done at the finite element level, both in the fluid and structural domains, and the fluid-structure system is time-marched as a single dynamic system using a multistage Runge-Kutta scheme. The exact nonlinear boundary condition at the fluid-structure...

Simulated annealing for missile optimization: Developing method and formulation techniques
Tekinalp, Ozan (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2004-07-01)
Hide-and-seek is a continuous simulated annealing algorithm that uses an adaptive cooling schedule. A number of improvements are proposed for the global optimum estimation required for the cooling schedule. To handle equality constraints, two approaches are examined: the rejection method and augmentation of constraints to cost using penalty coefficients. It is demonstrated that a faster convergence is possible if, in the penalty coefficients approach, equality constraints are replaced with tight inequality ...
