CAViDS Consortium Romax Noise Simulation Romax Simulation of FRO-16210C Noise A CAViDS Consortium Project Advisory Board Report November 11, 2009
CAViDS Consortium Romax Noise Simulation Project Objective • Simulate vibration and noise generated by FRO-16210C transmission in selected gears and loads over the operating speed range and compare to experimental results
Romax Noise Simulation CAViDS Consortium Approach • Phase 1: Obtain software, hardware and training • Phase 2: Model FRO-16210C transmission and predict: • Gear/shaft/bearing mode shapes • Housing vibration at select conditions • Acoustic noise at same conditions
Romax Noise Simulation CAViDS Consortium Process to Date • Built gear/shaft/bearing model for each of 6 gear ratios • Determined key modes for each • Added housing to each • Added micro-geometry for each gear and optimized • Ran order track response for 3 mesh harmonics and 3 accelerometer positions for 6 gear ratios • Since last meeting • Focused on comparing to Eaton data in 6th gear • Added measured gear profile to model • Compared full model to loaded gear model • Developing plan to close gaps

Romax Noise Simulation CAViDS Consortium Comparison of Models
CAViDS Consortium Romax Noise Simulation Next Actions • Determine why 400 Hz mode dominates • Mostly output shaft rock • Shouldn’t get excited – verify with test • Examine Romax logic • Tune rock mode • Mode shape looks good without housing • Without housing predicts low • With housing predicts lower • With housing mode shape looks more like bender • Look at housing model • Look at actual bearing stiffness vs. predicted
CAViDS Consortium Romax Noise Simulation Next Actions • Fix Bounce • Without housing • Frequency good • Mode shape good • With housing • Frequency OK at 500 LB-FT • Shape changes to rock – why? • Torque stiffening too high –why?
