Recently consumer preferences for automobiles have been focused on both performance and quality In particular consumers look for improved driving comfort safety power performance stability of the steering system and fuel economy The transmission which is a major component of the automobile is developed to satisfying the more stringent requirements of high capacity high endurance compact size and low vibration noise An automotive trans mission consists of shafts helical gears bearings gear rotor systems a case etc Lim and Singh 1991 undertook modal analysis of automotive transmissions by considering the mount and the case By changing the structure of the case and the layout of the power shaft Rondo 1990 designed an automotive transmission with less gear noise Honda 1990 studied the modal characteristics of axial vibration in a gear chain Lida et al 1985 found that the dynamic behavior of a gear shaft system when the bending and torsional effects in the spur gears are coupled together differs from the result that is obtained when the system is regarded as a simple non coupled model Schwibinger and Nordmann 1988 found that this coupling of bending and torsion in spur gears affects the stability of gear shaft systems Choy et al 1991 developed a dynamic model which couples the bending and torsional effects of a 3 speed spur gear rotor system that is forced by mass im balance he then calculated the transient and steady state responses Choy and Ruan 1993 modeled the reduction gear box with a 1 speed spur gear pair He employed the transfer matrix method for the parts of the gear rotor bearing and finite element method FEM for the case He then compared the calculated results of the vibrational spectra with experimental data Kahraman et al 1992 described the critical speed of a 1 speed gear chain by considering the coupled effect of the bending and torsional vibration and used FEM to solve for the forced response of the mass imbalance and the transmission

rotors and bear ings The model accounts for the flexibility of shafts and bearings gyroscopic effects and coupling of forces that arise from transverse and torsional motions which are due to gearing Gear mesh stiffness is considered with respect to the elastic deformation of the mating gear teeth As for the rotor which is a rigid body gyroscopic effects are considered It is assumed that the bearing element is an all linear spring and that the shaft of rotation is an Euler beam this enables the consideration of both the momentum effect of the distributed mass and the elastic effect The mathematical model of an automotive transmission system is developed by assembling the models of the elements in the transmission by the substructure synthesis method The equations of motion for an automotive transmission can be written in matrix form as 1 In Equation 2 the generalized displacement vector w consists of the three displacement vectors x y and with the corresponding lateral x and y and torsional z rotational vectors being as follows 2 The equation of motion shown in Equation 1 includes the effects of inertia M gyroscopic forces G and stiffness K Based on the finite element modularization principle we consider the functions of individual parts of the auto motive transmission configuration Thus a vibrational sub model is established for each part of the configuration of the gear rotor element Figure 2 g47 g89 g2g13g2 g41 g89 g2g13g2 g45 g89 g2g31g2 g18 g89 g2g31g2 g90 g91 g92 g90 g91 g92 Figure 1 Mathematical model of an FR type manual trans mission VIBRATIONAL

vibration of the gear chain An automotive transmission is composed of a very com plex multi helical gear system The modeling of the vibration of the teeth contact region is as follows 1 Calculate the equivalent mesh stiffness by considering the elastic deformation of the mating gear teeth 2 Neglect the frictional component of the distributed transmitted force that is spread over the faces of the mating gear teeth the distributed force can be defined by the average concentrated force at the pitch point and the average coupling force Neglecting the coupling force consider the lead crowning of the gear tooth surface We can define the transmitted force of mating gear teeth as the average concentrated force at the pitch point as shown in Figure 3 3 Consider the elastic deformation of only a gear tooth and not the body of the gear 4 As shown in Figure 4 decompose the mating gear teeth into two separate compressed linear springs P G1 and P G2 Here the orientation of the springs is perpen dicular to the teeth contact line g35g36 Figure 2 Modular method for an automotive transmission Figure 3 Model of a helical gear pair 462 H W LEE S H PARK M W PARK and N G PARK 5 The equivalent spring coefficients K1 and K2 can be calculated by the method used by Choi 1987 which considers bending and shear deformations by regarding a gear tooth as a cantilever beam and which derives gear contact deformations from Hertzian contact theory The mathematical model of a helical gear pair is shown in Figure 5 Let the center of the drive gear be the origin of the coordinates radial horizontal direction be the x axis and positive rotational direction be the z axis The direc tional vector of the tooth contact force t is defined as 3 In Equation 3 is the helix angle of the base circle while refers to the angle between the center of the drive and the driven gear As the rotational direction of the drive gear is counterclockwise in Figure 5 the angle of the line of action is expressed as In the above expression is the transverse running pre ssure angle The potential energy of a helical gear tooth is derived as 4 In Equation 4 D 1 and D 2 are the proportional matrices calculated from the linear correlation of the rigid body motion between the displacement of the tooth contact and center of the gears The tooth stiffness coefficient K th of the gear pair is cal culated by a program developed by Park 1987 The element stiffness matrix between two nodes can be calcu lated by Equation 4 This equation expresses the potential energy which is described with reference to the gene ralized displacement vector at the center of both mating gears assuming a lumped parameter system 2 2 2 Model of vibration of the shaft The model of vibration of the shaft is developed using the finite element method The model incorporates a momen tum effect of the distribution mass and elastic effect In Figure 6 N 1 and N 2 are the shape functions at nodes 1 and 2 respectively The generalized displacement vector at an arbitrary position is obtained as 5 The kinetic energy between nodes 1 and 2 is as follows 6 In Equation 6 7 In Equation 9 represents the density A is the

denote the first and the higher order time variant harmonic terms of the gear tooth stiffness coefficients x 2 x 3 refers to the non linear effect of the gear backlash and the bearing clearance In the right hand side of the equation f 1 t represents the combined effect of all the second or higher order harmonic excitation sources The first excitation source physically indwells the system The frequency of this forced vibration is related to the speed of the shaft in terms of the imbalance the centrifugal force of the rolling bear ing and tooth passing frequency Thus 11 In Equation 11 is
