PROCESSING OF VIBRO - ACOUSTIC SIGNALS OF PRECESSIONAL PLANETARY TRANSMISSIONS

The operation of working machines is accompanied by the constant occurrence of vibrations and shocks, generated by various constructive, kinematic and dynamic factors. The study of the vibro-acoustic aspect of mechanical transmissions and, in particular, of precessional planetary ones is a primary concern for engineers in the field of machine building technologies. The paper presents the research of precessional planetary transmissions under the vibro-acoustic aspect in the anechoic chamber, which is a room, insulated with sound-absorbing material against external noises and isolated anti-vibration. To process the vibro-acoustic signals received as a result of the measurements, the Fourier harmonic series will be applied, a mathematical function that can be used to find the basic frequencies that make up a wave. The final result is the detection of vibration and noise generating sources, the decoding of signals by means of Fourier series and the advancement of constructive-technological solutions to minimize the vibro-acoustic level.
