Gear Fault Detection Effectiveness as Applied to Tooth Surface Pitting Fatigue Damage
نویسندگان
چکیده
A study was performed to evaluate fault detection effectiveness as applied to gear tooth pitting fatigue damage. Vibration and oil-debris monitoring (ODM) data were gathered from 24 sets of spur pinion and face gears run during a previous endurance evaluation study. Three common condition indicators (RMS, FM4, and NA4) were deduced from the time-averaged vibration data and used with the ODM to evaluate their performance for gear fault detection. The NA4 parameter showed to be a very good condition indicator for the detection of gear tooth surface pitting failures. The FM4 and RMS parameters performed average to below average in detection of gear tooth surface pitting failures. The ODM sensor was successful in detecting a significant amount of debris from all the gear tooth pitting fatigue failures. Excluding outliers, the average cumulative mass at the end of a test was 40 mg.

The test analysis of transmission gears’ fatigue pitting
There were severe pitting corrosions on the surface of transmission gears in diesels. The cause of metal fatigue pitting of gear surface is analyzed in the paper, which based on the contact fatigue experiment of 18Cr2Ni4WA carburizing and quenching gears used in the diesel engine. Causes of pitting on harden tooth surface are studied from three aspects: gear surface residual stress field, oil f...

Research on damage of gears and gear pairs using vibration signals remains very attractive, because vibration signals from a gear pair are complex in nature and not easy to interpret. Predicting gear pair defects by analyzing changes in vibration signal of gears pairs in operation is a very reliable method. Therefore, a suitable vibration signal processing technique is necessary to extract defe...

Application of the high-frequency acoustic emission (AE) technique in condition monitoring of rotating machinery has been growing over recent years. This is particularly true for bearing defect diagnosis and seal rubbing (Mba et al., 1999, 2003, 2005; Kim et al., 2007; Siores & Negro, 1997). The main drawback with the application of the AE technique is the attenuation of the signal and as such ...

In this paper, a two-dimensional computational model is proposed for predicting the initiation position and propagation path of subsurface crack of spur gear tooth flank. In order to simulate the contact of teeth, an equivalent model of two contacting cylinders is used. The problem is assumed to be under linear elastic fracture mechanic conditions and finite element method is used for numerical...
