ABSTRACT A method to accurately predict gear root stress for parallel axis gears is explored using a combination of three analysis techniques

4、: boundary elements, elastic body contact analysis, and the moment-image method. The method is computationally faster than three-dimensional finite element programs and avoids the use of semi-empirical relationships. The three techniques are combined to determine gear root stress across the face wid

5、th and predict these stresses through the mesh cycle for both spur and helical gears. The method allows the user the flexibility to determine stress at any mesh position. This is in contrast to semi-empirical methods that typically determine stress for a single load position in the mesh cycle at a s

6、ingle stress location on the gear tooth. The root stress predictions are compared to both experimental strain gage resuits and finite element modehg techniques for verification. Results are presented for the prediction of load distribution factors as a function of misalignment and crowning types wit

One can develop three-dimensional models of geared systems and use finite element techniques, though model development time and computational intensity can be extreme, and contact conditions are seldom modeled properly. The presented stress predictions are results of existin

9、g computer programs developed for general gear analysis. These programs include the Load Distribution Program (LDP) that predicts loading across the face width for multiple mesh positions and the post processing program GGRAPH. The stress determination technique can be applied with data from any loa

10、d prediction technique of a gear pair. This technique does not replace finite element techniques for very accurate three dimensional states of stress but provides an approach that is fast, yet not constrained by empirical limits. The following sections present the developed technique and compare the

11、 computational results with experimental strain gage results and three-dimensional finite element results. Further comparisons are made with AGMA factors and show load distribution factors and stress factors as functions of misalignment and crowning types. The study of load distribution and root str

12、ess changes with respect to types of gear errors and modifications demonstrates the sensitivity of gear stress to these factors. Background: The computational method to predict gear root stress is based on the work by Jaramillo i for thin cantilever plates with constant thickness and infinite length

13、. The series solution for bending moments is based on the deflections due to point loads at arbitrary heights on the cantilever plate. The application of the plate theory to gear stresses was proposed by Wellauer and Seireg 2 for the prediction of bending moment distribution for plates of finite len

16、Root Stress, Pinion The previously presented gear cases in this section show LDP to predict stresses relatively accurately for a variety of gear casts. Stresses through a mesh cycle and stresses across the face width compare well for gear sets with and without profde and lead modifications. The anal

17、ysis shows that stresses at the edges of teeth necd to be investigated further. This suggests that the imaging of the moments at the edges may not be entirely valid or load predictions may be too high at the helical edges. Load Distribution Factors: This section evaluates gear stress changes with mi

Relationships of gear stress to non-uniform loading is a difficult analytical problem due to various factors such as misalignment, elastic def

19、lections, manufacturing accuracy, tooth crowning, and profile modifications. Figure 19 graphs stress factors versus misalignment of a 9.4 pitch, 15 degree helical pinion, found in Table 5, for three LDP predicted cases and the AGMA analytical method. The plotted stress factor is the peak stress divi

This is similar to AGMA bending stress Load Distribution Factor K, defined as peak load divided by average load on the instantaneous lines of contact. nie LDP predicted cases include: gear pair with no modifications, pinion lead mod

In viewing Figure 19, LDP predicts linear increase in stress versus misalignment for ail three LDP cases. The two LDP crowning case predictions

23、 greatly reduce stress sensitivity to misalignment. In conclusion, the LDP methodology provides a tool to the designer for evaluating the stress sensitivity relationship to gear errors and modifications. 6 COPYRIGHT American Gear Manufacturers Association, Inc.Licensed by Information Handling Servic

The predicted stress results were compared to experimental and finite element cases and the following conclusions were reached: The moment-image method with a combination of two-dimensional model boundary elements estimates gear stresses many times faster than thre

Tensile normal stress results match with real geared systems within expected errors for both spur and helical gears. Peak stresses at any loading condition are within 15% of measurements or

27、 finite element predictions. The stress method shows comparable results to the benchmark cases for both modified and unmodified gears. In studying stresses at the edges of helical gears, LDP may not properly model the helical edge effects. In general, the stresses at the edges of the gear were predi

28、cted higher by LDP than the benchmark case results. Edge effect stresses should be subject to further studies.
