Gear Mesh Stiffness

In this study, a mesh stiffness model of spur gear drives considering the tooth corrosion effect, which is based on Ishikawa model, is proposed. The fidelity of mesh stiffness based on the proposed model is checked by comparing the result with a benchmark result from the reference and the effect of the tooth corrosion on mesh stiffness is analyzed. The prediction indicates mesh stiffness is insensitive to the tooth corrosion, but this conclusion has a signification for assessing the stability of inherent properties of a spur gear drive when the tooth corrosion is produced.

Gear Mesh Stiffness

This paper presents a finite element (FE) modelling technique to evaluate the mesh compliance of spur gears. Contact between the engaging teeth is simulated through the use of gap elements. Analysis is performed on several gear combinations and the variation in tooth compliance along the contact location is presented in a non-dimensional form. Results are compared with earlier predictions based on analytical, numerical and experimental methods. Load sharing among the mating gear teeth is discussed, and the overall gear mesh stiffness together with its cyclic variation along the path of contact is evaluated.

Gear Mesh Stiffness

Some tooth profile geometric features, such as root fillet area, flank modification and wear are of nonnegligible importance for gear mesh stiffness. However, due to complexity of analytical description, their influence on mesh stiffness was always ignored by existing research works. The present work derives analytical formulations for time-varying gear mesh stiffness by using parametric equations of flank profile. Tooth geometry formulas based upon a rack-type tool are derived following Litvin's vector approach. The root fillet area and tooth profile deviations can therefore be fully considered for spur gear tooth stiffness evaluation. The influence of gear fillet determined by tip fillet radius of the rack-type tool is quantified parametrically. The proposed model is validated to be effective by comparing with a finite element model. Further, the model is applied to investigate the stiffness variations produced by tooth addendum modification, tooth profile nonuniform wear and modification.

Error Computation

A modified transmission error (TE) model is introduced for analysing the effects on the transmission error of variation of tooth body stiffness with load application point, and a simulation program for transmission error computation with varying stiffness has been developed. In order to obtain the case where the tooth deflection component is the dominant source of the TE, nylon gears were used in this study. All the simulation results have been compared with the measured transmission errors from a single-stage gearbox. Even though carried out on low precision gears, the validity of the model for the more flexible nylon gears indicates that the model can be used for analysing the transmission error of high-precision gear sets.
