Especially, with the advancement of technology, mechanical parts need to be designed to be lighter and more durable. In the industry, gears are the most common power transmission equipment, and for this equipment, increasing durability and rigidity has an essential importance. During power transmission, undesired vibration and noise arise in gear systems. In addition to gear design, gearbox housing design is also essential to reduce the radiation of undesired structure-borne noise and vibration. In order to reduce noise and vibration levels, some modifications are frequently used on gearbox housings. In this study, three different gearbox housing designs (basic, cross and cellular) are formed and analysed by using ANSYS® software. The design alternatives for housings have been formed inside of the structure as different quantities of longitudinal and transverse stiffeners. In addition, all the external dimensions and the mass of these three housing designs are equal in order to observe just vibration and noise reduction. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), statistical properties of vibration signals and sound levels of the gearbox have used for comparisons to determine which gearbox have better vibration and sound levels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
