Based on the rigid-plastic deformation finite element method and the heat transfer theories, the forming process of cross wedge rolling was simulated with the finite element software DEFORM-3D. The temperature field of the rolled piece during the forming process was analyzed. The results show that the temperature gradient in the outer of the work-piece is sometimes very large and temperature near the contact deformation zone is the lowest while temperature near the center of the rolled-piece keeps relatively stable and even rises slightly. Research results provide a basis for further study on metal flow and accurate shaping of work-piece during cross wedge rolling.

Vibration rotary forging is a complex precision forming process. In the forming process, the addition of the vibration make the boundary condition and the friction condition of the gear blank and the mould changed with the rotation of the head, which lead the forming process of the spur bevel gears become more complicated.

High-speed heavy-load spiral bevel gears put forward high requirement for flexural strength; shot peening is a technique that greatly improves the bending fatigue strength of gears. During shot peening, a large number of fine pellets bombard the surface of the metal target material at very high speeds and let the target material undergo plastic deformation, at the same time strengthening layer is produced. Spiral bevel gear as the object of being bombarded inevitably brought the tooth surface micro-morphology changes. In this article, we aim to reveal the effect of microtopography of tooth shot peening on gear lubrication in spiral bevel gear, try to establish a reasonable description of the microscopic morphology for tooth surface by shot peening, to reveal the lubrication characteristics of spiral bevel gears after shot peening treatment based on the lubrication theory, and do comparative research on the surface lubrication characteristics of a variety of microstructures.

In this paper, an active design method of meshing line for a spiral bevel gear mechanism with nonrelative sliding is presented. First, the general meshing line equations for a nonrelative sliding transmission mechanism between two orthogonal axes are proposed based on the active design parameters. Then, parametric equations for contact curves on the drive and driven spiral bevel gears are deduced by coordinate transformation of the meshing line equations. Further to this, parametric equations for the tooth surface of each bevel gear are derived according to the conical spiral motion of a generatrix circle along the calculated contact curves. Finally, a set of numerical examples is presented based on two types of motion equation of the meshing points. Material prototypes are fabricated and experimentally tested to validate the kinematic performance of the functionally designed spiral bevel gear set.

Abstract Kinematical optimization and sensitivity analysis of circular-cut spiral bevel gears are investigated in this paper. Based on the Gleason spiral bevel gear generator and EPG test machine, a mathematical model is proposed to simulate the tooth contact conditions of the spiral bevel gear set. All the machine settings and assembly data are simulated by simplified parameters. The tooth contact patterns and kinematic errors are obtained by the proposed mathematical model and the tooth contact analysis techniques. Loaded tooth contact patterns are obtained by the differential geometry and the Hertz contact formulas. Tooth surface sensitivity due to the variation of machine settings is studied. The corrective machine settings can be calculated by the sensitive matrix and the linear regression method. An optimization algorithm is also developed to minimize the kinematic errors and the discontinuity of tooth meshing. According to the proposed studies, an improved procedure for development of spiral bevel gears is suggested. The results of this paper can be applied to determine the sensitivity and precision requirements in manufacturing, and improve the running quality of the spiral bevel gears. Two examples are presented to demonstrate the applications of the optimization model.

To minimize the running vibration of spiral bevel gear, an optimization design method for vibration control is presented with the model of meshing impact. Firstly, based on the impact model of spiral bevel gears considering tooth deformation, the initial meshing position, meshing stiffness, and the meshing impact is studied. Secondly, the effects of load torque and rotation speed on meshing impact are analyzed. Thirdly, a mathematical model for pinion generator is built with following parameters: tool parameters, initial machine settings, and polynomial coefficients of auxiliary flank modification motion. The polynomial coefficients of the auxiliary flank modification motion are determined by optimizing the minimum impact velocity. Finally, a numerical simulation is performed. The results shows that load torque and pinion rotational speed impose significant influences on the impact. The impact velocity increases with the increase of load torque and pinion rotation speed. With load torque increasing, impact force tends to increase first and then decrease because of meshing stiffness changes, finally impact force increases dramatically due to additional load. The advantages of spiral bevel gear under the optimization of impact velocity in meshing impact are obviously. The accuracy and scientificity of the method presented in the paper for calculating the initial meshing point and meshing stiffness of complicated tooth surfaces is verified. The optimized gear obtained by the optimization method presented in the paper is also proved that owns the lowest meshing impact in the design load range. The proposed optimization method can reduce meshing impact and improve the dynamic meshing performance of spiral bevel gear. This method also can be used for optimum design of other types of gears.
