Abstract A new approach for optimizing the dynamic behavior of spiral bevel gear drives has been developed. The local synthesis, tooth contact analysis (TCA) and loaded tooth contact analysis (LTCA) techniques were used to constitute the design process with feedback, by which a contact ratio being near 2.0 or 3.0 would be achieved. An improved dynamic behavior of the spiral bevel gear drives under certain operating load or a wide range of load could be obtained.

Abstract Reconstruction of gear tooth surfaces from point clouds obtained by noncontact metrology machines constitutes a promising step forward not only for a fast gear inspection but also for reverse engineering and virtual testing and analysis of gear drives. In this article, a new methodology to reconstruct spiral bevel gear tooth surfaces from point clouds obtained by noncontact metrology machines is proposed. The need of application of a filtering process to the point clouds before the process of reconstruction of the gear tooth surfaces has been revealed. Hence, the bilateral filter commonly used for 3D object recognition has been applied and integrated in the proposed methodology. The shape of the contact patterns and the level of the unloaded functions of transmission errors are considered as the criteria to select the appropriate settings of the bilateral filter. The results of the tooth contact analysis of the reconstructed gear tooth surfaces show a good agreement with the design ones. However, stress analyses performed with reconstructed gear tooth surfaces reveal that the maximum level of contact pressures is overestimated. A numerical example based on a spiral bevel gear drive is presented.

A significant portion of the research on spiral bevel gear focused on contact stress and assembly flexibility (V and H check) values, while only a few studies investigated the relationship between transmission errors and rotational speed. This paper addresses and discusses an approach for 3D dynamic contact and impact analysis of spiral bevel gear drives. Dynamic models considering friction, gear clearance, and time-varying stiffness were established. Finite element software was utilized to analyze the dynamic responses of gear transmission, surface contact stress, and root bending stress of a spiral bevel gear pair. The dynamic model simulated the vibration behavior of an actual gear set under dynamic loading. The dynamic responses of the spiral bevel gear drives were obtained under differential rotational speeds of the driver and the driven resistance. The stiffness and elastic deformation of gear teeth were calculated using the finite element method with actual geometry and gear positions. After the impact analysis, the numerical simulation results of transient and steady-state transmission errors are obtained simultaneously. Using the fast Fourier transform method, frequency spectrums of the transient and steady states of the calculated transmission errors are obtained to enable the gearbox designer to avoid the resonance zone.

Damping Model

The vector form intrinsic finite element (VFIFE) method is springing up as a new numerical method in strong non-linear structural analysis for its good convergence, but has been constricted in static or transient analysis. To overwhelm its disadvantages, a new damping model was proposed: the value of damping force is proportional to relative velocity instead of absolute velocity, which could avoid inaccuracy in high-speed dynamic analysis. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method proved under low speed; dynamic characteristics and vibration rules have been verified under high speed. Simulation results showed that the modified VFIFE method could obtain numerical solutions with good efficiency and accuracy. Based on this modified method, high-speed vibration rules of spiral bevel gear pair under different loads have been concluded. The proposed method also provides a new way to solve high-speed rotor system dynamic problems.
