The Interaction between the Tooth Wear and the Dynamic Loads in a Spur Gear Pair

Abstract
The interaction among the tooth wear, dynamic loads, and its corresponding frequency spectrum variation in a spur gear pair is investigated in the dissertation. A mathematical model for the dynamic responses of a profile shifting involute gear pair is derived. For simplicity, a two-step mesh stiffness model is proposed to approximate the load sharing and the time-varying stiffness effects in a mating gear pair. The analytic solutions for the dynamic responses of this simplified dynamic model are derived in both time and frequency domains. The effect of the tooth wear on the spectrum variation has been illustrated analytically. The amplitude and frequency modulations introduced from the periodic load fluctuation have also been discussed.
In order to characterize the time-varying mesh stiffness, frictional coefficient, damping ratio, temperature rise and load sharing effects between engaged teeth, a computational algorithm with the quasi-linear iteration procedure is developed to include above instantaneous parameters in the teeth engagement process. The tooth wear equation proposed by Flodin and Andersson (1997) is employed to simulate the mild wear process for an engaging gear pairs. The interactions between the tooth wear and the dynamic loads for the Steel/Steel, POM/POM, Nylon/Nylon and Steel/Nylon gears pair have been studied numerically. Numerical examples indicate that the proposed models are valid for gear pairs with different materials.
