An Analytical Approach to Gear Mesh Dynamics for the Sustainable Design of Agricultural Machinery Drive Systems

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This research aims to advance the understanding and application of dynamic models for gears within agricultural machinery drive trains by developing analytical solutions. Despite significant advancements in vibration analysis, there is a notable scarcity of comprehensive research that addresses the analytical modeling of gear dynamics, particularly using advanced mathematical techniques such as the Multiple Scale Method (MSM). This research aims to bridge this gap by starting with the simplest gear mathematical models and progressively scaling to more complex systems. Such models facilitate gearbox design optimisation, fault diagnosis, and maintenance planning, effectively reducing downtime and increasing the reliability of agricultural machinery. The study is oriented toward employing the MSM to derive analytical solutions to determine the vibration frequency ranges and identify emitted components. This mathematical approach offers a generalized framework for understanding vibration propagation and can significantly enhance the precision of vibration management strategies. Based on these insights, the research can contribute to the sustainable design of agricultural machinery drive trains, emphasizing vibration reduction and efficient propagation control. Ultimately, this work seeks to enhance these machinery’s durability and operator comfort, fostering safer and more effective agricultural practices.
