The variable speed transmission system employs compound planetary gear trains and clutches. Compared to traditional aviation transmission systems, the added control parts in the variable transmission system result in a stronger coupling between components and more complex dynamic response characteristics. Modeling using the central mass method is complex and abstract. This study proposes a bond graph-based method for modeling and analyzing the dynamic behavior of the variable transmission system. The transmission system is divided into multiple component-level real-time dynamic models, and obtain a nonlinear multi-energy domain shift dynamic models based on energy flow paths coupling. The mathematical model is numerically solved using the Runge-Kutta method. Simulation results show that there is a delay in the speed response during the shifting process. Further analysis reveals that this “give and take” phenomenon is related to the mechanical structure and passive working principle of the one-way clutch. Subsequently, the time-domain response of the output speed under the hydraulic loading characteristic curves of linear, exponential, S-shaped, and composite functions, as well as the clutch torque, were studied. The impact of different hydraulic loading durations based on the exponential curve on component speed and torque was also analyzed. The simulation results provide a theoretical basis for designing low-shift impact, high-reliability, and high-performance variable transmission systems.
