Abstract

This paper examines the influence of gear train dynamics on gear noise as a two part process. First is an examination of the design parameters which control the amount of dynamic mesh force generated per unit transmission error. The second part of the process is the transmissibility of the dynamic force from the mesh to the transmission housing. This paper illustrates the use of analytical modal models for typical transmission layouts to understand the physics involved in the gear noise process and suggests ways to use these models to develop quiet transmissions.
