A three-dimensional nonlinear dynamic model for gear transmission system is developed considering the time-varying meshing stiffness, tooth surface friction and backlash, and taking into the dynamic distribution of load between each gear pair. The 4-5 order adaptive variable step length Runge-Kutta method is used to solve the variable differential equations of gear dynamic model. Numerical simulation shows that reducing the web stiffness can effectively damp the vibration of gear pair; and increasing the web damping can accelerate the convergence rate of phase diagram, and improve the stability of gear transmission. The effects of web damping and stiffness on the vibration characteristics of the gear transmission is studied intensively and it establish the foundation for optimization of web damping and stiffness.
