Abstract :
New graph theoretic models of gears and gear trains are described, which are suitable for computer aided kinematic and dynamic analysis. A lumped parameter model of ideal nondeforming gears is used. The gear members are modelled as rigid bodies using an established rigid body model. Rigid arms model the contact between the gear pair. Gear pair-carrier assemblies are modelled as multi-terminal subsystems. Example models for fixed, epicyclic and planetary gear trains are developed
