Dynamic analysis of planetary gear transmission based on Lagrange interpolation polynomials.

This paper proposes a novel dynamic model considering manufacturing errors and eccentricity errors to analyze the dynamics of planetary gear transmission (PGT). The dynamic model is established based on the fractional-order calculus and solved by an enhanced fourth-order Lagrange interpolation polynomials method. Three numerical examples and the vibration experiments of PGT are employed for verification. The comparison results indicate that the proposed solution method has higher solution accuracy and efficient than the existing algorithms in solving fractional equations, and the relative errors of the proposed solution method in three examples are 0.32%, 0.78% and 0.16%, respectively. The proposed dynamic model of PGT has better agreement with the experimentally measured signal compared with the integer-order dynamic model, and the maximum error and average error of the characteristic frequency amplitude between the proposed dynamic model and the measured signal are 4.76% and 3.57%, respectively. The proposed method contributes to the theoretical foundation for the signal monitoring of PGT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
