Vibration Analysis Of A Split Path Gearbox, Timothy L. Krantz, Majid Rashidi May 1995

Vibration Analysis Of A Split Path Gearbox, Timothy L. Krantz, Majid Rashidi

Scholarship Collection

Split path gearboxes can be attractive alternatives to the common planetary designs for rotorcraft, but because they have seem little use, they are relatively high risk designs. To help reduce the risk of fielding a rotorcraft with a split path gearbox, the vibration and dynamic characteristics of such a gearbox were studied. A mathematical model was developed by using the Lagrangian method, and it was applied to study the effect of three design variables on the natural frequencies and vibration energy of the gearbox. The first design variable, shaft angle, had little influence on the natural frequencies. The second variable, …

The complexity of the design of a Global Positioning System (GPS) user segment, as well as the performance demanded of the components, depends on user requirements such as total navigation accuracy. Other factors, for instance the expected satellite/vehicle geometry or the accuracy of an accompanying inertial navigation system can also affect the user segment design. Models of GPS measurements are used to predict user segment performance at various levels. Design curves are developed which illustrate the relationship between user requirements, the user segment design, and component performance.
