【 摘 要 】

In this paper, exploratory studies on the application of fibre-reinforced polymer composites in the construction of gearbox housing elements that are used for transport means, as an alternative to traditionally used materials, were undertaken. Composite materials with three types of reinforcement were used: a glass-chopped strand mat, glass fabric, and carbon fabric. The manufactured elements were subjected to weight assessment and vibroactivity tests, including the recording of vibration and noise. The obtained results were compared to the values recorded for housings made of steel. It has been found that composite housings, while maintaining geometric similarity, are characterised by at least 60% lower weight compared to steel housings. It has been shown that in the frequency range below 1 kHz, composite housings are characterised by the presence of resonant frequencies with higher amplitudes than steel housings. At higher frequency ranges—above 1 kHz—composite housings had a lower vibroactivity level than steel housing. They allowed a significant reduction in the level of vibration and noise in this frequency range. The results obtained indicate that composite gearbox housings can be a good alternative to steel-based solutions.
