A NEW STATIC MECHANICS MODEL TO SOLVE CONTACT PROBLEMS IN MECHANICAL SYSTEMS

The coupling of the local contact problems between the components and the deformation of the components in the mechanical system were discovered.A series of coordinate systems have been founded to describe the mechanical system with the contact problems.The method of isolating the boundary of contact body from others has been used to describe the constraint between the contacting points.A more generalized static mechanics model of the mechanical system with the contact problems has been founded through the principle of virtual work.As an application,the model was used to study the multi_teeth engagement problems in the inner meshed planet gear systems.The stress distribution of contact gears was got.A test has verified that the static contact model and the computational method are right.
