The singular value decomposition method of improved incidence matrix for isomorphism identification of epicyclic gear trains

<p>The epicyclic gear train (EGT) is an advanced gear transmission mechanism, which is widely applied in drive systems. It is of great significance to eliminate the same structure in the type synthesis of EGTs. In this paper, an isomorphism identification method of EGTs based on the singular v...

description <p>The epicyclic gear train (EGT) is an advanced gear transmission mechanism, which is widely applied in drive systems. It is of great significance to eliminate the same structure in the type synthesis of EGTs. In this paper, an isomorphism identification method of EGTs based on the singular value decomposition of improved incidence matrix is proposed. Firstly, the improved incidence matrix is used to describe the structure of EGTs. Then, the degree sequence of links and kinematic pairs can be extracted and used as a basic information for preliminary screening. The improved incidence matrix can effectively distinguish multiple joints. Next, the topological connection relationship between the links and the kinematic pairs is extracted by the singular value decomposition of the matrix, which is used as the final value for isomorphism identification of EGTs. Finally, the effectiveness of this method is verified through a lot of examples.</p>
