ABSTRACT
The load sharing performance of encased differential planetary system has a great impact on the operating performance and service life of the transmission system of the coaxial high speed helicopter. In order to improve the load-sharing performance of the gear pair, the influence of different floating spline structural parameters on the load sharing characteristics of the system was studied. Considering the manufacturing error, installation error, time varying meshing stiffness and other factors, the Lagrange equation is used to construct the dynamic model of encased differential planetary gear train with floating spline structure. The effects of input torque, spline clearance, spline shaft stiffness and spline friction coefficient on the load sharing performance of gear pairs were analyzed. The results show that the differential stage system has a better load sharing performance than the encased stage system. The increase of input torque helps to improve the load sharing performance of the system, and the improvement of the encased stage system is more obvious. The floating spline of sun gear of the encased stage has a greater impact on the load sharing performance of the system. Furthermore, increasing the floating spline clearance, reducing spline shaft stiffness or increasing the friction coefficient of the spline can improve the load sharing performance of the system overall.
ABSTRACT
In this paper, a main gearbox using an encased differential gear train to achieve coaxial contra-rotating is considered, and a dynamic modeling method of the rotor-stator coupling system of the gearbox based on box model updating is introduced. The transverse torsional dynamic model of the gear transmission subsystem is established based on the lumped parameter method. The finite element model of the box is updated according to the modal test data, and the reduced dynamic parameters of the box are obtained. According to the displacement coordination condition, the dynamic model of the rotor-stator system of the gearbox is established. The vibration response of the transmission components with or without the coupling box is calculated by numerical integration, and the response of the box caused by the dynamic support reaction force is analyzed by the finite element method. The results show that the vibration peak and fluctuation range of the transmission parts with coupling box are smaller than those without coupling box. The box response at the support of the input bevel gear pair is large, while that at the support of the output shaft is small.
ABSTRACT
To determine the optimal design parameters of spur gear under a specific condition, based on the basic theories of gear dynamics theory, gear meshing principle, tooth contact analysis and load tooth contact analysis, a six-degree-of-freedom vibration analysis model of spur gear pair is established, and a gravitational search-simulated annealing hybrid algorithm (GSA-SA) is used to optimize the gear addendum modification coefficient and profile modification parameters. The vibration response of the spur gear pair is evaluated through the optimization objective function established by the combination of the G1 method and variation coefficient method. The study shows that the optimized design parameters effectively reduce the level of the vibration, which proves the effectiveness of the optimization method, and the simultaneous optimization of the addendum modification coefficient and profile modification parameters of the gear has a better result than only optimizing the addendum modification coefficient or profile modification parameters. This method can be used for gear transmission system vibration optimization design in the automotive industry and shipbuilding.

Extracellular recording is a key technology to study many types of brain functions. However the amplitudes of extracellular spikes are typically about 100 muV and should be picked up and amplified specially, then recorded and analyzed online. Most of the equipment for extracellular recording are either very expensive, or too large for recording in the brains of freely moving small animals. In this paper we developed a practical multi-electrode recording system based on virtual testing technology. The system includes microelectrode amplifier, analog input device NI4472 with 24-bit resolution, and data processing software SPKrec. The features of the hardware are low noise, high input impedance, a total gain of 2 000, and large dynamic range. The software developed in LabVIEW is capable of online analysis, data recording, spike detection, fire rate histograms, etc. The system functions have been verified in extracellular recording in the olfactory bulb of Gekko gecko. The result indicates that the system with performance comparable to that of commercial products meets the requirements of recording experiments.
