A Dynamic Toolkit for Transmission Characteristics of Precision Reducers with Explicit Contact Geometry

RESUMO

Precision reducers couple contact geometry, bearing support, structural deformation, and loading history. This paper presents a dynamic toolkit connecting distributed local contacts to the complete mechanical reaction path. Work-conjugate maps transfer displacement, reaction, and tangent contributions between contacts and rigid or reduced coordinates, with explicit allocation of contact and body elasticity. An implicit generalized-alpha solution distinguishes trial evaluations from accepted history. Contact records then support performance protocols and configured geometric or constitutive feedback. The numerical studies focus on mechanical coupling and pressure recovery. An idealized annular housing retains physical interfaces while its structural coordinates are reduced. Two reductions with similar static errors have cross-port response errors of 24.975 and 0.312 percent over the same frequency band relative to a common parent model. In a shared-pin example, a 20 micrometer radial displacement of one wheel changes the load on a second, fixed wheel by approximately 75 N. Removing cross-station compliance removes this incremental transfer on the tested sleeve-seating branch. A double-wheel cycloidal assembly relates torsional branch response to aggregate contact-load variation and normalized pressure fields. The pressure maxima remain sensitive to resolution despite small discrete force residuals. Further formulations specify how motion and contact records support precision, vibration, heat, wear, and durability models with their required inputs. The framework separates model representation and numerical resolution while retaining common definitions of motion, force, and observation.
