“…In the experiments for this paper, function  is an eighth order Fourier fit of the measured phase response of the SP. The function  depends on the gear mesh frequency f m,i which is defined by (6). In many applications of the FXLMS, the model S is an FIR filter, which is identified by exciting the real SP system with white noise or a frequency sweep [17].…”

“…However it is possible to attenuate these gear pair vibrations with an active vibration control (AVC) structure and suitable actuators. Montague et al [6] show one of the first attempts in this field from 1994. They use piezoelectric actuators to alter the position of the pinion and the gear.…”

“…However the amplitude has to be adjusted manually for each system state, hence the settings are only stable for a static load and a static speed. Reference [6] reports up to 70 dB reduction of housing acceleration at first gear mesh frequency. Rebbechi et al [7] are the first to use an adaptive finite-impulse-response (FIR) filter to adjust the amplitude and phase of the actuator signal.…”

Due to the growing importance of electro mobility, the requirements in terms of noise and vibration harshness for drive trains with gearboxes driven by electronically commutated motors are continually increasing. A dominant component of the airborne sound emitted by such drive trains is the gear meshing sound originating from dynamic transmission errors. These nondesirable dynamic transmission errors show frequency components at gear mesh frequency as well as in its harmonics. In application these harmonics cause non-desirable high frequency components in the airborne sound. This paper presents a multi-channel adaptive feed-forward controller that is based on the LMS algorithm where the controller uses the electronically commutated motor as actuator. The dynamic behavior has been studied in simulation with a permanentmagnet synchronous motor and a two-degree-of-freedom gear pair model with an angle-dependent spring stiffness, a viscous damper and a transmission error excitation. Results showed that the controller is able to decrease the dynamic transmission error at gear mesh frequency and three additional harmonics simultaneously. Within the scope of this work, experiments have been carried out on a hardware-in-the-loop test bench including a permanent magnet synchronous motor with two gear stages and a magnetic particle break as load. Measurements show a housing vibration reduction of 31 dB and an airborne sound reduction of 13 dB at first gear mesh frequency. At second gear mesh frequency the controller reduces the structure borne sound by 18 dB and airborne sound by 15 dB.

“…Over the years, many researchers devoted themselves to solve the critical MGTS active vibration control (AVC) problems. Montague et al [3] employed an analog phase shifter with an amplifier to drive the piezoelectric actuators (PZT) mounted onto the shaft in the gearbox. The vibration reduced up to 70% at the fundamental gear mesh frequency (FGMF) in that work.…”

A modal analysis (MA) was preconsidered to determine a novel active vibration control (AVC) structure of multistage gear transmission system (MGTS) and an appropriate actuating position for the piezoelectric actuator (PZT); the results of the calculating method and the finite element method (FEM) were compared to validate the reliability of MA. The controllers based on different control algorithms were designed to drive the PZTs to output the control force for suppressing the host structure vibrations. To analyze the feasibility of the applied control schemes and discuss the control effects dominated by the different control algorithms, a series of active vibration control numerical simulations were studied. The cosimulation results validate the practicability of the proposed control schemes and provide a forcible guidance for the further experimental works.
