Analysis Methods

With increasing demand for high speed and high power density gear applications, the need to optimise gears for minimum stress, noise and vibration becomes increasingly important. ISO 6336 contact and bending stress analysis are used to determine the surface load capacity and tooth bending strength but dates back to 1956 and although it is constantly being updated, a review of its performance is sensible. Methods to optimise gear performance include the selection of helix angle and tooth depth to optimise overlap ratio and transverse contact ratio and thus the performance of ISO 6336 and tooth contact analysis methods requires confirmation. This paper reviews the contact and bending stress predicted with four involute gear geometries and proposes recommendations for stress calculations, including a modification to contact ratio factor Zɛ which is used to predict contact stress and revisions to form factor YF and helix angle factor Yβ which are cited to evaluate bending stress. The results suggest that there are some significant deviations in predicted bending and contact stress values between proposal methods and original ISO standard. However, before the ISO standard is changed, the paper recommends that allowable stress numbers published in ISO 6336-5 are reviewed because the mechanisms that initiate bending and contact fatigue have also changed and these require updating.

The Transmission Error and Bearing Pattern of a gear set are fundamental aspects of its meshing behavior. To assess the validity of gear simulation models, the Transmission Error and Bearing Pattern of a Formate Hypoid gear set are measured under a variety of operating positions and applied loads. Measurement data are compared to simulation results of Tooth Contact Analysis and Loaded Tooth Contact Analysis models, and show excellent agreement for the considered test gear set.

A modelling method for analyzing the three-dimensional thermal behavior of spiral bevel gears has been developed. The model surfaces are generated through application of differential geometry to the manufacturing process for face-milled spiral bevel gears. Contact on the gear surface is found by combining tooth contact analysis with three-dimensional Hertzian theory. The tooth contact analysis provides the principle curvatures and orientations of the two surfaces. This information is then used directly in the Hertzian analysis to find the contact size and maximum pressure. Heat generation during meshing is determined as a function of the applied load, sliding velocity, and coefficient of friction. Each of these factors change as the point of contact changes during meshing. A nonlinear finite element program was used to conduct the heat transfer analysis. This program permitted the time- and position-varying boundary conditions, found in operation, to be applied to a one-tooth model. An example model and analytical results are presented.

Loaded Tooth Contact Analysis

Energy efficiency and functional reliability are the two key requirements in the design of high-performance transmissions. Therefore, a representative analysis replicating real operating conditions is essential. This paper presents the thermoelastohydrodynamic lubrication (TEHL) of meshing spur gear teeth of high-performance racing transmission systems, where high generated contact pressures and lubricant shear lead to non-Newtonian traction. The determination of the input contact geometry of meshing pairs as well as contact kinematics are essential steps for representative TEHL. These are incorporated in the current analysis through the use of Lubricated Loaded Tooth Contact Analysis (LLTCA), which is far more realistic than the traditional Tooth Contact Analysis (TCA). In addition, the effects of lubricant and flash surface temperature rise of contacting pairs, leading to the thermal thinning of lubricant, are taken into account using a thermal network model. Furthermore, high-speed contact kinematics lead to shear thinning of the lubricant and reduce the film thickness under non-Newtonian traction. This comprehensive approach based on established TEHL analysis, particularly including the effect of LLTCA on the TEHL of spur gears, has not hitherto been reported in literature.
