Dynamic Forces in Spur Gears Measurement, Prediction, and Code Validation

摘要

Measured and computed values for dynamic loads in spur gears were compared tovalidate a new version of the NASA gear dynamics code DANST-PC. Strain gage data from six gear sets with different tooth profiles were processed to determine the dynamic forces acting between the gear teeth. Results demonstrate that the analysis code successfully simulates the dynamic behavior of the gears. Differences between analysis and experiment were less than 10 percent under most conditions.
