A spur gear mesh interface damping model based on elastohydrodynamic contact behaviour
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, the damping mechanism at the interface of the mating spur gear teeth is investigated. The dynamic behaviour of a spur gear pair is represented by a two Degree-of-Freedom (DOF) nonlinear model with the damping provided by the instantaneous tribological behaviour of the tooth contacts. The shear stress distributions along the tooth surfaces are incorporated with the dynamic model to formulate the periodic gear mesh viscous damping. With the assumption the radii of curvature of the contact surfaces can be represented by the ones at the pitch point, a simplified expression for the damping ratio is formulated.

Influence of dynamic behaviour on elastohydrodynamic lubrication of spur gears
In this study, the elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) behaviour of high-speed spur gear contacts is investigated under dynamic conditions. A non-linear time-varying vibratory model of spur gear pairs is introduced to predict the instantaneous tooth forces under dynamic conditions within both the linear and non-linear operating regimes. In this model, the periodically time-varying gear mesh st...
متن کاملA Transient Mixed Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication Model for Spur Gear Pairs
In this study, a transient, non-Newtonian, mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) model of involute spur gear tooth contacts is proposed. Unlike the contact between two cylindrical rollers, spur gear contacts experience a number of time-varying contact parameters including the normal load, radii of curvature, surface velocities, and slide-toroll ratio. The proposed EHL model is designed to ...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Tooth Wear, Mechanical Power Losses and Efficiency in Normal and High Contact Ratio Asymmetric Spur Gears
The surface tooth wear which occurs at the gear contact region due to inadequate contact strength of the tooth is one of the predominant modes of gear failures. Currently, higher contact ratio spur gears are increasingly used in power transmission applications such as aircraft, wind turbine, automobiles and compact tracked vehicles due to their high load carrying capacity. In this work, the di...
متن کاملInfluence of Addendum Modification Factor on Root Stresses in Normal Contact Ratio Asymmetric Spur Gears
Tooth root crack is considered as one of the crucial causes of failure in the gearing system and it occurs at the tooth root due to an excessive bending stress developed in the root region. The modern power transmission gear drives demand high bending load capacity, increased contact load capacity, low weight, reduced noise and longer life. These subsequent conditions are satisfied by the aid o...
