Vibration Characteristic Analysis of High-speed Train Gear Transmission System Under Track Irregularity by Qian Xiao, Yuqi Cheng, Xu Xu

“…Dynamics simulation experiments under no track irregularities and conditions with track irregularities can obtain the vibration acceleration of large and small gears at a speed of 250 km/h for high-speed trains. The horizontal， vertical and vertical vibration acceleration amplitudes of the large and small gears are analyzed in frequency domain， and then the vibration amplitude and frequency spectrum distribution of the gear transmission system in the presence and absence of track irregularities are compared and analyzed. …”
