Abstract
The variation of tooth meshing stiffness and frictional characteristics caused by tooth surface pitting increases vibration and noise in the gear transmission system. Assuming a smooth tooth surface and a homogeneous material in studying the gear contact and dynamics is insufficient to reveal the evolution of dynamic contact performance caused by pitting faults. In the present study, we established a coupling analysis model for pitting faults to assess the effect of the tooth surface micro-morphology. The mesh stiffness and static transmission error of gears with randomly distributed pittings were calculated, and the vibration response of gears with different pitting degrees was resolved. Finally, the effectiveness of the applied dynamic response theory analysis was experimentally verified using the constructed pitting fault simulation test bench. The results indicate that pitting failure decreases the effective load-bearing capacity of gear teeth. The mesh stiffness gradually but significantly decreased with the pitting degree, also exhibiting fluctuating values. Pitting faults induced significant periodic features in the vibration response of gear transmission systems, showing complex sidebands around the meshing frequency and its harmonics.
期刊介绍:
Engineering Failure Analysis publishes research papers describing the analysis of engineering failures and related studies.
Papers relating to the structure, properties and behaviour of engineering materials are encouraged, particularly those which also involve the detailed application of materials parameters to problems in engineering structures, components and design. In addition to the area of materials engineering, the interacting fields of mechanical, manufacturing, aeronautical, civil, chemical, corrosion and design engineering are considered relevant. Activity should be directed at analysing engineering failures and carrying out research to help reduce the incidences of failures and to extend the operating horizons of engineering materials.
Emphasis is placed on the mechanical properties of materials and their behaviour when influenced by structure, process and environment. Metallic, polymeric, ceramic and natural materials are all included and the application of these materials to real engineering situations should be emphasised. The use of a case-study based approach is also encouraged.
Engineering Failure Analysis provides essential reference material and critical feedback into the design process thereby contributing to the prevention of engineering failures in the future. All submissions will be subject to peer review from leading experts in the field.
