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, which is valid for preloaded rolling element bearings. Furthermore, stiffness fluctuations of bearings are disregarded. Multi-term harmonic balance method (HBM) is applied on the system of nonlinear differential equations in order to obtain a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. Utilizing receptance method, system of nonlinear algebraic equations is grouped in nonlinear and linear sets of algebraic equations where the nonlinear set can be solved alone decreasing the number of equations to be solved significantly. This reduces the computational effort drastically which makes it possible to use finite element models for gear shafts. In the calculation of Fourier coefficients, continuous-time Fourier transform as opposed to the gear dynamics studies that utilize discrete Fourier Transform is used. Thus, convergence problems that arise when the number of nonlinear DOFs is large are avoided. Moreover, analytical integration is employed for the calculation of Fourier coefficients rather than numerical integration in order to further reduce the computational time required. Nonlinear algebraic equations obtained are solved by utilizing Newton's method with arc-length continuation. Direct numerical integration is employed to verify the solutions obtained by HBM. Several case studies are carried out, and the influence of backlash amount, fluctuation of gear mesh stiffness and variation of bearing stiffness are investigated. In addition to these, the response of the coupled gear system model is compared with that of gear torsional model in order to study the influence of the coupling on dynamics of the system.

Nonlinear dynamic analysis of a drivetrain composed of spur, helical and spiral bevel gears Yavuz, Siar Deniz; Saribay, Zihni Burcay; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-06-01) 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 ...
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...
FREE-VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF LAMINATED COMPOSITE TRUNCATED CIRCULAR CONICAL SHELLS Kayran, Altan (1990-07-01) An analysis is presented for the free vibration characteristics of isotropic and laminated composite truncated circular conical shells including transverse shear deformation. All components of translatory and rotatory inertia are included. The applicability of linear shell theory due to Reissner is assumed, and governing equations are solved for the natural frequencies and mode shapes by using a combination of modal iteration and transfer matrix approach for different boundary conditions. Natural frequencie...
Transient dynamic response of viscoelastic cylinders enclosed in filament wound cylindrical composites Şen, Özge; Turhan, Doğan; Department of Engineering Sciences (2005) In this study, transient dynamic response of viscoelastic cylinders enclosed in filament wound cylindrical composites is investigated. Thermal effects, in addition to mechanical effects, are taken into consideration. A generalized thermoelasticity theory which incorporates the temperature rate among the constitutive variables and is referred to as temperature-rate dependent thermoelasticity theory is employed. This theory predicts finite heat propagation speeds. The body considered in this thesis consists o...
