A Study on the Optimization of Tooth Profiles for Curvic Couplings

The objective of this study is to investigate the influences of the shape of grinding wheel to the teeth profile and the contact pattern of Curvic couplings. Firstly, the equations of concave and convex teeth profiles are successfully derived by using coordinate transformation technique. Then, assembly errors and shape parameters errors of the grinding wheel are introduced, and the error-involved teeth profiles equations are also obtained. Finally, the optimization technique is employed to find the optimized parameters of the grinding wheel such that Curvic couplings with prescribed proper mating conditions can be manufactured. The influences of the each parameter of grinding wheel with respect to the associated contact condition are also analyzed. The radii of grinding wheels for both concave and convex teeth, and the center distance between the grinding wheel and coupling blank are identified to significantly influence the contact area. A computer program for obtaining the optimum profile of grinding wheel involved error settings has been developed by using Visual Basic language.
