Investigation on Instantaneous Meshing Stiffness and Profile Modification of Involute Helical Gear

摘要

An efficient finite element model of involute helical gear is presented. A program based on compliance matrix method is developed for the calculation of instantaneous meshing stiffness, and the relationship between the rate of meshing stiffness and overlap ratio is given. On the basis of stiffness calculation, an optimization program for the optimal design of profile modification is developed according to the principle of internal point punishment function method.
