油膜弹流润滑在齿轮传动中有着非常重要的作用,为得到油膜润滑作用下的齿轮啮合响应,基于ABAQUS/STANDARD的静态计算结果,首先提取了仅有齿轮啮合的齿面接触刚度,再结合油膜刚度得到了齿轮和油膜的综合接触刚度,并以此综合刚度作为接触属性关系进行齿轮的静动态运动响应计算。此外,对齿轮啮合时出现的接触区域(接触斑)不连续现象也进行了分析。最终结果表明考虑油膜润滑作用时,齿轮面的最大接触应力比无润滑作用时下降了30%左右,而齿根处最大拉应力则下降了6.14%。本方法为齿轮动力学分析和齿轮的优化设计提供了基础条件。

Enhanced model of load distribution along the line of contact for non-standard involute external gears

The presence of undercut at the tooth root, non-equal addendum on pinion and wheel, non-standard tooth height or non-standard center distance may have decisive influence on the load distribution along the line of contact of spur and helical gear teeth. The curve of variation of the meshing stiffness along the path of contact, quite symmetric respect the midpoint of the interval of contact, loses its symmetry for non-standard geometries and operating conditions. As a consequence, the critical contact points for bending and wear calculations may be shifted from their locations for standard gears. In this paper, a non-uniform model of load distribution along the line of contact of standard spur and helical gears, obtained from the minimum elastic potential criterion, has been enhanced to fit with the meshing conditions of the above mentioned non-standard cylindrical gear pairs. The same analytical formulation of the initial model may be used for the non-standard gears by considering appropriate values of a virtual contact ratio, which are also presented in the paper.     

Comparison of spur,helical and curvilinear gear drives by means of stress and tooth contact analyses

Involute tooth surfaces are a successful technical solution for both spur and helical gear drives since they provide linear contact and a low-level function of transmission errors under good conditions of meshing. Tip relief is usually required to improve contact conditions during the transfer of meshing between adjacent pairs of teeth. Yet, unfavorable conditions of contact appear when shaft deflections and misalignments are present. Localization of contact through lead crowning is a solution that increases the cost of machining in both spur and helical gear drives. In this sense, the generation process of curvilinear gear drives provides localization of contact with no additional cost. Comparison of stresses and transmission error functions in spur, helical and curvilinear gear drives is investigated to show if the application of curvilinear gear drives yields some advantages respect to spur and helical gear drives. The three mentioned types of cylindrical parallel-axis gear drives are provided, firstly, with linear contact, and, secondly, with localized contact, for the purpose of comparison. Different misalignments conditions are taken into account by means of several numerical examples.

Effect of spalling or tooth breakage on gearmesh stiffness and dynamic response of a one-stage spur gear transmission

Tooth faults affecting gear transmission are always accompanied by a stiffness reduction. In this article an analytical method is proposed to quantify the reduction of gearmesh stiffness due to two common tooth faults: spalling and breakage. Bending, fillet-foundation and contact deflection are taken into account. The dynamic response of a single stage spur gear transmission is computed by using analytical gearmesh issued from analytical modelling and the vibration signatures of each tooth fault is identified.     

Modeling and analyzing of torsional dynamics for helical gear pair considered double and three teeth drive-side meshing

Helical gears are generally considered to be more stable than spur gears. But rattling of the helical gear transmission is found in the engineering practice. The torsional dynamics equations of helical gear pair in high-speed railway gearbox are established in order to reveal the rattling mechanism of helical gear transmission. Double and three teeth pair drive-side meshing are considered. The multi-state meshing zone, load distribution rate and time-varying stiffness determined by contact ratio are analyzed and calculated. The dynamic characteristic transition process of the system is analyzed according to the bifurcation diagrams and the corresponding top Lyapunov exponent (TLE) diagrams, phase portraits, Poincaré maps and time history spectrums of dynamic meshing force based on the calculation of these parameters. The tooth disengagement, tooth back-side contact and their parameter range are found. This study can provide theoretical basis for rattling suppression and transmission stability improvement of helical gear pair.

Dynamic features of planetary gear set with tooth plastic inclination deformation due to tooth root crack

Gear tooth root crack, as one of the popular gear tooth failures, is always caused by the dynamic load or excessive load applied to the tooth. It will devastate the working performance of the gear system, by problems such as vibration and noise, or even lead to a broken tooth, which will stop the normal working process of the gear system. It has attracted wide attention from researchers. However, the previous studies focused their concentration only on the mesh stiffness reduction due to tooth root crack, while the tooth plastic inclination due to tooth bending damages like gear tooth root crack is seldom considered. In this paper, a tooth plastic inclination model for spur gear with tooth root crack is developed by regarding the cracked tooth as a cantilever beam. It influences not only the displacement excitation but also the mesh stiffness and load-sharing factor among tooth pairs in mesh. The simulation results obtained by incorporating the tooth plastic inclination deformation model together with the tooth root crack model into a 21-Degree-of-Freedom planetary gear dynamic model indicate that the tooth plastic inclination has a significant effect on the performance of the gear system rather than the mesh stiffness reduction due to tooth root crack.     

Calculation of conformal mapping function of the tooth profile on evolvent gear by computer

The exact solution of the stress and the displacement on spur gear can be gained by the method of conformal mapping of complex variables in plane elasticity. But it is difficult to get the comformal mapping function for the tooth profile with different parameters. They used to be obtained through trial method. This is time-consuming and expensive. In this paper a computer program is drawn up for the conformal mapping function. A large amount of calculation has given proof of its success and of the precision of the mapping function: thereby the main obstacle has been removed for the practical application of the conformal mapping method to the stress and displacement of tooth on evolvent gear.     

Tooth-root stress calculation of high transverse contact ratio spur and helical gears

In this paper, a non-uniform model of load distribution along the line of contact of spur and helical gears, obtained from the minimum elastic potential criterion, has been used, combined with the equations of the linear elasticity, to evaluate the tooth-root stress of high transverse contact ratio gears. The values of both critical stress and load conditions have been obtained and a complete analysis of the tooth bending strength has been carried out. As the load per unit of length at any point of the line of contact and any position of the meshing cycle has been described by a very simple equation, a complete study of the location and the value of the tooth-root stress has been carried out. From this study, a recommendation for the calculation of the bending load capacity of high transverse contact ratio spur and helical gears is proposed.
