The author has described elsewhere (reference 1) the general principles of the dynamic stiffness method of analysing torsional vibration problems. Amongst the systems treated were those involving simple spur or helical gear-steps. The method can also be applied, however, to deal with epicyclic gearing, making proper allowance for the effect of flexibility in the gear-housing. The present paper outlines this extension.
A similar method may be used to allow for housing flexibility in normal spur gearing.
