Influence of different gear generation methods on contact stress analysis of spur bevel gears in PSD

摘要

This paper summarizes three methods of gear tooth profile generation. Geometry coordinate positions on their profile are compared. A detailed finite element model of mating gear pairs, containing fine meshes and coarse meshes, is presented. Contact stress analysis of three finite element models are conducted to investigate the influence of different generation methods on contact stress. Then, a spur bevel gears pair in Power Split Device is generated by CATIA Law Curve method, and contact stress under the special operating condition is analyzed. The results show few differences of three methods in geometry coordinate positions and tooth contact stress, and the displacement of spur bevel gear in axial direction may cause uneven stress distribution.
