Automated Modeling of Planetary Gears

A tool which automatically generates equations for planetary gears

autoEQ is a generic function for automated modeling and feedforward control of planetary gears (PG). Given the information on configuration, namely the internal connection relationship between each PG, location of external torques, location and locking state of each clutch, this function outputs a ready-to-use kinetic model, which contains the symbolic inertia matrix and input matrix. The derived state-space model can then be converted into numeric form by substituting the symbols in the matrix with real values and used for simulation, analysis or controller design.
