A quick multi-step discretization and parallelization wear simulation model for crown gear coupling with misalignment angle

Compared with other gear transmissions travelling along meshing line, the motion of crown coupling is much more complex, which makes difficult for its tooth surface wear simulation. To reduce computational costs associated simulation misalignment angle, a quick multi-step discretization and parallelization model proposed. The combines finite element method based on self-compiled high-precision mesh, kinematic analysis Archard's formula to predict wear. characteristics relative sliding distance are also discussed, while effects angle load torque depth investigated. numerical results show that maximum increases an increase in between teeth near pure tilted area larger than pivoted area. In addition, when aligned, doesn't produce wear, pattern symmetrical about middle width.
