Abstract In order to detect the gear tooth surface wear fault, this paper presents a new fault diagnosis method based on Symlets wavelet family multi-structure element difference morphological denoising and frequency slice wavelet transform (FSWT). Besides considering the gear backlash, time-varying mesh stiffness, gear error and bearing longitudinal response, and low frequency excitation caused by the torque fluctuation, random disturbance of damping gear ratio, gear backlash, excitation frequency, and meshing stiffness are also considered. Dynamics equations of a three degrees of freedom spur gear transmission system with tooth surface wear fault are established according to Newton’s laws. The 4–5 order variable step Runge–Kutta method has been used for solving the equations to get the vibration signal of the system. Then, the proposed method is applied to extract the wear fault signal, which verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Fine finishing of spur gears reduces the vibrations and noise and upsurges the service life of two mating gears. A new magnetorheological gear profile finishing (MRGPF) process is utilized for the fine finishing of spur gear teeth profile surfaces. In the present study, the development of a theoretical mathematical model for the prediction of change in surface roughness during the MRGPF process is done. The present MRGPF is a controllable process with the magnitude of the magnetic field, therefore, the effect of magnetic flux density (MFD) on the gear tooth profile has been analyzed using an analytical approach. Theoretically calculated MFD is validated experimentally and with the finite element analysis. To understand the finishing process mechanism, the different forces acting on the gear surface has been investigated. For the validation of the present roughness model, three sets of finishing cycle experimentations have been performed on the spur gear profile by the MRGPF process. The surface roughness of the spur gear tooth surface after experimentation was measured using Mitutoyo SJ-400 surftest and is equated with the values of theoretically calculated surface roughness. The results show the close agreement which ranges from −7.69% to 2.85% for the same number of finishing cycles. To study the surface characteristics of the finished spur gear tooth profile surface, scanning electron microscopy is used. The present developed theoretical model for surface roughness during the MRGPF process predicts the finishing performance with cycle time, improvement in the surface quality, and functional application of the gears.

Abstract Based on “slice method”, the improved time-varying mesh stiffness (TVMS) calculation model of helical gear pair with tooth surface wear is proposed, in which the effect of friction force that obtained under mixed elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) is considered in the model. Based on the improved TVMS calculation model, the dynamic model of helical gear system is established, then the influence of tooth wear parameters on the dynamic response is studied. The results illustrate that the varying reduction extents of mesh stiffness along tooth profile under tooth surface wear, in addition, the dynamic response in time-domain and frequency-domain present significant decline in amplitude under deteriorating wear condition.

Abstract Recent demands for gear couplings are to reduce the backlash and to increase the shaft angle limit. On coping with these demands, the tooth contact pressure is recognized as the trade-off problem. In the traditional estimation of tooth contact pressure, the deflection of tooth is calculated by using the formula for spur gear that has long contact bearing in the face width direction, although gear coupling has it in the tooth depth direction. And, the Hertz depression of the tooth surface is estimated as that of the infinite plane. Additionally, the traditional methods don’t consider about the edge contact on the tip or end of tooth. A successive approximation method is established to find the load distribution on the mating teeth surfaces. As for the effect of the edge contact on the tip or end of tooth, it is cleared that the contact pressure distribution deforms itself severely, but the maximum pressure is almost constant. The expressions estimating the maximum pressure and the displacement of tooth base are constructed for 6 parameters as follows; total load coefficient, relative curvature of teeth surfaces, tooth module, ratio of tooth height to face width, angle of tip contact and deviation of end contact.

We consider a gear with parallel rotation axes of an input and output part (spur gear), the input part having so-called arch teeth. We found the equation of the surfaces family for the arch tooth, the envelope of which is the tooth surface of the output part. We obtained an analytical solution of the equation that results from the condition of enveloping, which allowed to record parametric equations of the envelope determining the tooth surfaces of the output part.

In this study, a surface wear prediction model for helical gears pairs is employed to investigate the influence of tooth profile deviations in the form of intentional tooth profile modifications or manufacturing errors on gear tooth surface wear. The wear model combines a finite-element-based gear contact mechanics model that predicts contact pressures, a sliding distance computation algorithm, and Archard’s wear formulation to predict wear of the contacting tooth surfaces. Typical helical gear tooth modifications are parameterized by an involute crown, a lead crown, and an involute slope. The influence of these parameters on surface wear are studied within typical tolerance ranges achievable using hob/shave process. The results indicate that wear is related to the combined modification parameters of a gear pair rather than individual gear parameters. At the end, a design formula is proposed that relates the mismatch of contacting surface slopes to the maximum initial wear rate.
