PT Journal AU Smeringaiova, A TI Elimination of resonant phenomena adverse effect in the process of experimental operation of gears SO Manufacturing Technology Journal PY 2022 BP 842 EP 848 VL 21 IS 6 DI 10.21062/mft.2021.087 DE Test Station; Dynamic Tests; Gears; Natural Frequencies; Impact Test AB The paper describes the course, conditions and results of the impact test of the supporting frame of the test station for dynamic tests of gears. The test station makes it possible to simulate different gears operating conditions. The basic support frame structure of the test station was evalu-ated as unsufficient based on the results of measurement and processing of the measured low and high fre-quency vibration values in the verification series of experimental tests. The basic failure of the origi-nal design were the significant resonance actions that were the results of the dominant sources of vibration being near the natural frequencies of the vertical and horizontal beams of the test station base. A structural design of the test station supporting frame was designed and implemented. The goal was to increase the rigidity of the frame and eliminate unwanted resonance phenomena. The impact tests were used to determine the values of the natural frequencies of the most stressed parts of the supporting structure - vertical and horizontal beams, before and after implementation of struc-tural modifications. The comparability of the impact test results was determined by adherence to identical measurement conditions. ER
