Abstract
Gear shaping causes processing characteristics on gear tooth surfaces (PCGTS), e.g., gear tooth surface deviation (GTSD) and processing textures (PT), which can affect gear meshing performances. Gear shaping simulation is operated to obtain PCGTS with different indexing feeds. An improved contact stiffness method of gear tooth surfaces is developed based on a wedge-shaped contact form to obtain tooth contact stiffness with PT caused by gear shaping. An improved time-varying meshing stiffness (TVMS) method for gears manufactured by gear shaping is developed to calculate TVMS of gears with GTSD and PT under different indexing feed conditions. Effectiveness of the improved TVMS method is validated using the finite element method. Analysis results of the proposed contact stiffness method of gear tooth surfaces indicate that PT caused by gear shaping can aggravate fluctuations of gear tooth contact stress. Analysis results of the proposed TVMS method for gears also indicate that GTSD of gear tooth surfaces caused by gear shaping can reduce their TVMS. The proposed TVMS method of gears can effectively analyze TVMS of gear tooth surfaces via gear shaping and evaluate processing settings of gear shaping to improve gear meshing performances.
