Bifurcation and Chaos Analysis of the Spur Gear Transmission System for One-Way Clutch, Two-Shaft Assembly

A four-degree-of-freedom nonlinear transverse and torsional vibration model of spur gear transmission system for one-way clutch, two-shaft assembly was developed, in which the one-way clutch was modeled as a piecewise nonlinear spring with discontinuous stiffness, considering the factors such as the time-varying gear mesh stiffness, static transmission error, and nonlinearity backlash. With the help of bifurcation diagrams, time domain response diagrams, phase plane diagrams, and Poincaré maps, the effects of the excitation frequency and the torsional stiffness of one-way clutch on the dynamic behavior of gear transmission system for one-way clutch, two-shaft assembly are investigated in detail by using Runge-Kutta method. Numerical results reveal that the system response involves period-1 motion, multiperiodic motion, bifurcation, and chaotic motion. Large torsional stiffness of one-way clutch can increase the impact and lead to instability in the system. The results can present a useful source of reference for technicians and engineers for dynamic design and vibration control of such system.
