Abstract

The tooth friction and oil film stiffness should be considered into the time-varying meshing stiffness to obtained more precise mesh stiffness. The paper presents a method to include the effect of friction and lubrication into mesh stiffness of cylindrical involute gears using a combination of finite element method (FEM) and local contact analysis of elastic bodies. The normal compliances matrix and normal-tangential compliances matrix are obtained with a finite element model by using substructure method, and the tooth contact deformations are derived through an elastic line-contact analysis. The oil film thickness and stiffness are calculated by theoretical formulas. The time-varying stiffness of the gear pair can be obtained by solving the nonlinear deformation compatibility equations. The mesh stiffness of spur and helical gears with or without friction are compared in this paper. The effects of loads and friction coefficient on mesh stiffness of helical gears are also investigated.
