This paper presents a new method to design a seventh-order transmission error for high contact ratio spiral bevel gears by the modified curvature motion method to reach the purpose of reducing or eliminating gear vibration and noise. In this paper, firstly, based on the predesigned seventh-order transmission error, the polynomial coefficients of transmission error curve can be obtained. Secondly, a method named modified curvature motion method is used to generate the spiral bevel gear with the predesigned transmission error. Lastly, based on TCA and LTCA, we verify the feasibility of the modified curvature motion method to generate spiral bevel gear with seventh-order transmission error, and the meshing impact of gear set with the seventh-order and second-order function of transmission error is analyzed and compared. The results of a numerical example show that the seventh-order transmission error acquired by the modified curvature motion method can effectively reduce the meshing impact of spiral bevel gears. The tooth modification method and meshing impact analysis method can serve as a basis for developing a general technique of flank modification for spiral bevel gears.

Influence of alignment errors on the meshing of involute spiral bevel gears using FEM is investigated in this paper. 3D geometrical models of involute spiral bevel gear drive are computationally designed and the reliable non-linear finite element contact models are also developed. Furthermore, based on the valid 3D FE models, simulations of meshing of loaded spiral bevel gears with four types of alignment errors are performed. The influence of four types of alignment errors on contact stress, transmission error and shift of path of contact has been discussed in detail. The results demonstrate that the alignment errors have different degrees of adverse effects on the load-carrying capacity and the smoothness of transmission. Therefore, the study provides useful reference for the modification design and the assembling of spiral bevel gears in practice.

The precise mathematical model for the tooth surface and transition surface of spiral bevel gears is derived. Taking a pair of spiral bevel gears of a heavy vehicle as an example of calculation and analysis, a finite element model of spiral bevel gears transmission system is established. Through the finite element tooth contact analysis under quasi-static loading and high loading condition, the influences of torque on the root stress distribution, contact stress, and transmission error are discussed, and the results are compared with the empirical formula results. Finally, a contact performance test bench of spiral bevel gear pair is developed, then the root bending stress, contact pattern, and transmission error tests are carried out. These experiment results are compared with analyzed ones, which showed a good agreement.

An optimization approach for manufacture parameter design of the SGM spiral bevel gears with modified tooth geometry is proposed. The approach is accomplished by application of local synthesis, tooth contact analysis (TCA) and dual-objective optimization of transmission error function. A computer program to obtain a set of manufacture parameters based on the proposed theory is developed and illustrated with an example. The proposed method provides a set of machine-tool settings for pinion NC-grinding which ensures: (i) a localized bearing contact pattern less sensitive to misalignments, (ii) a parabolic transmission error function to reduce vibration and noise in mesh.

For a given set of forces transmitted by the gears, each of the three components of the generalized transmission error of spiral bevel gears is shown to be stationary with respect to small independent variations in the positions of the endpoints of the lines of tooth contact about their true values. The tangential generalized transmission error component is shown to take on a minimum value at the true endpoint positions. A computational procedure based on the method of steepest descent is described for computing the true line of contact endpoint positions and the three components of the generalized transmission error. A method for computing the Fourier series coefficients of the tooth meshing harmonics of the three generalized transmission error components also is provided.
