This study aims to analyze the influence of lead crowning modification of teeth on the vibration behavior of a spur gear pair. Two dynamic rotational models including an uncrowned and crowned gear are examined. Hertzian mesh stiffness is computed using tooth contact analysis in quasi-static state along a complete mesh cycle of teeth mesh. The dynamic orbits of the system are observed using some useful attractors which expand our understanding about the influence of crown modification on the vibration behavior of the gear pair. Nonlinear impact damper consists of non-integer compliance exponents identify energy dissipation of the system beneath the surface layer. By augmenting tooth crown modification, the surface penetration increases and consequently normal pressure of the contact area becomes noticeable. Finally, the results show modification prevents gear pair to experience period doubling bifurcation as the numerical results proved. Using this new method in dynamic analysis of contact, broaden the new horizon in analyzing of the surface of bodies in contact.
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.
