AbstractA 16-degree-of-freedom dynamic model for the load contact analysis of a double helical gear considering sliding friction is established. The dynamic equation is solved by the Runge–Kutta method to obtain the vibration displacement. The method combines the friction coefficient model based on the elastohydrodynamic lubrication theory with the dynamic model, which provides a theoretical basis for the calculation of the power loss of the transmission system. Moreover, the sensitivity analysis of the parameters that affect the transmission efficiency is carried out, and an optimization method of meshing efficiency is proposed without reducing the bending strength of the gears. This method can directly guide the design of the double helical gear transmission system.

Considering lumen elastic deformation, Reynolds equation is deduced based on non-Newtonian model in this paper. Traction force and hydrodynamic mucus film thickness are calculated according to elastohydrodynamic lubrication theory. Compared with results based on Newtonian model and experiments, analysis based on non-Newtonian model reflects practical condition well. Lumen elastic deformation has some influence on traction force and mucus film thickness.

Service mode and dynamic network interfere techniques are analyzed. An elastohydrodynamic lubrication oil thickness theory of rolling bearing type planetary friction transmission mechanism system based on web is presented.Elastohydrodynamic lubrication theory is adopted in rolling bearing type planetary friction transmission mechanism in this paper. Research indicates that elastohydrodynamic oil file lubrication can be realized while mechanical parts with connection between points or lines run under certain conditions. At the same time, surface disrepair of the parts has relation to lubrication state. Minimal oil film thickness formula is deduced based on the elastohydrodynamic lubrication theory. It is a part of He’nan Scientific Committee science and technology research projects 《research on collaborative design and manufacturing technique in gear manufacturing based on network and multi-Agent》

The paper presents the results of modelling the contact and elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) effects between the teeth of worm gears. A number of different practical worm gear designs have been studied covering a wide range of sizes and potential applications, from small instrument drives to high power units. All the designs are of the popular ZI type, in which the worm is an involute helicoid, with deliberate mismatch of tooth conformity in order to avoid damaging edge contact. The results cover loaded tooth contact analysis (‘loaded TCA’) under dry conditions, predicted film-generating behaviour with lubrication, surface and oil film temperatures, and calculated values of friction and transmission efficiency. It is demonstrated that regions of poor film formation may be predicted in a qualitative way on the basis of loaded TCA together with consideration of the kinematics of entrainment at the contacts.

Vehicular differential hypoid gears play an important role on the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) signature of the drivetrain system. Additionally, the generated friction between their mating teeth flanks under varying load-speed conditions is a source of power loss in a drivetrain while absorbing some of the vibration energy. This paper deals with the coupling between system dynamics and analytical tribology in multiphysics, multiscale analysis. Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) of elliptical point contact of partially conforming hypoid gear teeth pairs with non-Newtonian thermal shear of a thin lubricant film is considered, including boundary friction as the result of asperity interactions on the contiguous surfaces. Tooth contact analysis (TCA) has been used to obtain the input data required for such an analysis. The dynamic behavior and frictional losses of a differential hypoid gear pair under realistic operating conditions are therefore determined. The detailed analysis shows a strong link between NVH refinement and transmission efficiency, a finding not hitherto reported in literature.

This paper investigates the nominal elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) characteristics of the conjugate meshing face gears and predicts the mesh efficiency of the pericyclic transmission system. The meshing face-gear tooth geometries and meshing kinematics are modeled. Hertzian contact and the isothermal non-Newtonian lubricant film characteristics of the meshing face-gear pair are investigated. The friction coefficient is calculated with the effects of lubricant behavior and mesh kinematics. Finally, the pericyclic transmission efficiency is calculated as a function of friction coefficient, mesh loads, and mesh kinematics. The Hertzian contact behavior, film thickness, and friction coefficient values are simulated for an example fixed axis face-gear pair rotating at 1000 rpm with 3.4 kN-m torque. The EHL film thickness ranges from 0.1 to 0.25 μm in this example. The average friction coefficient is predicted as 0.05. The efficiencies of three different 24:1 reduction ratio 760 HP pericyclic transmission designs are investigated. The minimum and maximum efficiency in the given design space are 97% and 98.7%, respectively.
