Dynamic simulation analysis of aircraft engine planetary gear system

The Geared Turbofan (GTF) engine is used for aircraft propulsion with fan drive, characterized by its complex structure and operation in challenging environmental conditions. During its operation, variations in gear meshing and loads on the transmission shaft exacerbate vibration within the transmission system, leading to a decline in engine performance. This paper established three-dimensional solid models of the X-type aviation engine planetary gear system, input shaft, and output shaft, and employed ADAMS for multibody dynamics analysis, achieving simulation of engine operational vibrations. Modal and harmonic response analyses were conducted using ANSYS to observe and analyze critical parameters such as vibration displacement, vibration acceleration, gear meshing forces, modal resonance, and harmonic resonance, evaluating the impact of vibration amplitude, frequency, and their effects on system performance and longevity, providing guidance for vibration control and optimization of aviation engine systems.
