Effects of eccentricity defect on the nonlinear dynamic behavior of the mechanism clutch-helical two stage gear

摘要

This paper investigates the nonlinear dynamic behavior of an automotive clutch coupled with a helical two stage gear system. The nonlinear dynamic model is simulated by twenty seven degrees of freedom and including three types of nonlinearity: dry friction path, double stage stiffness and spline clearance. The utility of the proposed nonlinear model is illustrated by the industrial need to clearly identify the dynamic behavior of mechanical elements (shafts, bearings, gears, flywheel, pressure plate, hub of the clutch...) and reduce vibration. The governing nonlinear time varying motion equation formulated is resolved by the analytic Runge Kutta method. Then the modeling of the eccentricity defect located on the gear and the flywheel of the clutch is done. The effect of this defect on the nonlinear dynamic behavior of the system is investigated.
