Abstract
Rattling vibrations in gear boxes are a noise problem of modern cars following the requirement to be as quiet as possible. The paper presents an uniform approach to model such vibrations based on classical impact theory and applying modern methods of topological dynamics. Some comparisons of theory and measurements utilizing a test set-up of a rattling machine are presented. They demonstrate the practical relevancy of the presented theory.
