Non-Linear Dynamics of Geared Systems Using the Asymptotic Method, Part 2: Computation of the Phase Angle
The increased interest for improved gear design has led to extensive research into the field of non- linear dynamics of such systems. The paper reveals a complex dynamic model to study the behavior in a gear- pair system taking into consideration backlash and time-dependent mesh stiffness and mesh damping. In many applications including turbo machinery, machine tools and diesel engines non-linearities are present due to tooth stiffness, damping and backlash that induced micro-vibrations of non-linear parametric type. In the mean time the input link of the driver ax and the output link of the driven ax induce non-linearities. The paper presents the use of asymptotic method in order to compute the amplitude of steady state motion. By this way the paper reveals the phenomena's characteristics of multiple jumps specific to the non-linear dynamic behavior of gear-pair due to: non-linearities of the input-output linkages, backlash and self-induced parametric excitations, caused by the tooth stiffness and damping. It was highlighted the interaction between fundamental resonance and the principal parametric resonance.

Mechanics of deformable directed surfaces
Abstract The paper develops a simple, yet complete and consistent non-linear dynamic thermo-elastic shell theory based on the concepts of a two-dimensional directed continuum. The constitutive equations are postulated in a general form. Stress-strain relations are derived using the equation of energy balance and the two entropy production inequalities, which are rewritten in a special form. The linear theory is discussed in detail. The structure of the stress-strain relations is presented in the most general form and then specialized to concrete examples, in particular, to the classical shell theory, using their invariance properties with respective to certain symmetry groups. The elastic moduli are determined by demanding the coincidence of the frequency dispersion surfaces obtained using the two-dimensional theory with the lowest foils of the corresponding surfaces resulting from the three-dimensional theory of elasticity.
