GENERALIZED METHOD FOR THE EVALUATION OF WEAR IN CYLINDRICAL INVOLUTE GEARS

摘要

We develop a method for the predictive estimation of wear and durability of cylindrical gears taking into account the influence of the wear of teeth on the geometric and loading characteristics of the engagement. On the basis of the numerical solution of the problem, we confirm that the influence of wear on the service life of the gear is significant. We also construct the plots that can be used to describe the character of this influence.
