With increased requirements for high speeds, heavy loads and light weights in gear design, the prediction and control of dynamic forces and gear vibrations have become critically important. Recent dynamic models of the literature are usually flexural-torsional lumped parameter systems leading to parametrically excited possibly nonlinear differential equations with external excitations (Blankenship and Singh, 1995; Cai, 1995; Velex and Maatar, 1996). Parametric excitations result of contact length evolutions which can interfere with partial or total contact loss nonlinearities while time and load-dependent second members are generally produced by shape deviations, mounting errors, varying torques. It is well known that response spectra on actual gear drives are particularly broad including low frequencies related to the system basic period and onceper-revolution excitations, high frequency components caused by meshings, flank deviations, and complex amplitude and frequency modulations. In such conditions, there is no universal integration technique and the most suitable method depends on the objective of the study ie, dynamic tooth loads, tooth shape modifications, bearing transmissibility, and on the amount of differential equations to be integrated. Solutions in time domain can be evaluated by time-step numerical integrations (Munro, 1962; Ichimaru and Hirano, 1974; Kubo, 1978; Kasuba and Evans, 1981; Kumar et al., 1985). Such methods are widely used but their results depend on the assumed given initial conditions making it difficult to find all possible stable solutions for strongly nonUnear behaviors. Furthermore, computational times required to obtain steady state solutions especially for lightly damped systems may be significant. Most of the applications in gearing deal with single degree of freedom equations but extensions to linear multi-degree of freedom models with constant and time-varying mesh stiffnesses using modal or Ritz methods have been recently proposed (Kahraman et al, 1989; Velex and Berthe, 1989; Furukawa, 1991; Velex and Flamand, 1996). Analytical methods in time domain comprise the Ritz Averaging Method (Benton and Seireg, 1980) and the Harmonic Balance Method (Comparin and Singh, 1990; Kahraman and Singh, 1991; Blankenship and Kahraman, 1996) which are both based on assumed periodic solutions usually expressed in terms of Fourier series. A perturbation method using straight forward power expansions is also possible for linear parametrically excited differential systems (KiifUkay, 1984; Velex and Berthe, 1989) but convergence is uncertain (Nayfeh and Mook, 1978).
