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.

An analytical solution to the dynamic transmission error of a helical gear pair is developed by using a single-degree-of-freedom model with piecewise stiffness functions that characterize the contact plane dynamics and capture the velocity reversal at the pitch line. By assuming a constant mesh stiffness density along the contact lines, a linear time-varying model (with parametric excitations) is obtained, where the effect of sliding friction is quantified by an effective mesh stiffness term. The Floquet theory is then used to obtain closed-form solutions to the dynamic transmission error, and responses are derived to both initial conditions and the forced periodic function under a nominal preload. Analytical models are validated by comparing predictions with numerical simulations, and the effect of viscous damping is examined. Stability analysis is also briefly conducted by using the state transition matrix. Overall, the sliding friction has a marginal effect on the dynamic transmission error of helical gears, as compared with spur gears, in the context of the torsional model.
