High natural frequencies of planetary gears tend collect into groups. The modes at these natural frequencies are characterized by motion of the planet gears with strain energy in the tooth meshes and planet bearings. Each group has one rotational, one translational, and one planet mode. The groups change in natural frequency together when system parameters are varied. The grouping behavior is disrupted with significant differences in planet-to-planet gear parameter values.
