“…To solve this problem, Wang [53] presented a FE model of a cracked gear pair based on the elasticplastic fracture mechanics. Considering the influences of the extended tooth contact and root crack of the gear tooth, Ma et al [54] established a FE model of a gear pair using ANSYS software (see Fig. 17) to calculate TVMS of the gear pair with different crack depths, and analyzed the weakening effects of tooth root crack on the gear-body stiffness.…”

The normal operation of gear systems ensures the power transmission in coal cutters. Due to harsh work environment, the gears in coal cutters are prone to crack. By analyzing the gear dynamic response, useful crack detection indicators could be obtained. The literature review indicates that most of the gear dynamic models have been built with singlefrequency excitation, but very limited work has considered multi-frequency excitations. The coal cutter gear systems are always subjected to multi-frequency excitations. Hence, a nonlinear gear dynamic model taking multi-frequency excitations into account was established in this work. A meshing stiffness coefficient was defined to model the crack fault influence on the gear model. The amplitude-frequency of the model main resonance was analyzed by means of multi-scale method, and the model dynamic response was calculated by the incremental harmonic balance method. Numerical simulation results show that the dynamic response of the presented gear model provided strong chaotic characteristics and the chaotic degree of the gear dynamics increased with the deterioration of the crack level. Experimental validation was carried out on a real gearbox, and the analysis results were consistent with the simulations. Hence, the simulation and experimental analysis demonstrates that the multi-frequency excitation-based gear dynamic model was more correct than the single-frequency excitation-based model in representing the system dynamics.

“…As diagnostic parameters RMS and Excess were used, mesh stiffness was calculated using potential energy. Ma et al [17] investigated a phenomenon of cracked teeth when the incoming tooth pair enters contact earlier than the theoretical start of contact, and the outgoing tooth pair leaves contact later than the theoretical end of contact. It was found that for simulated signals, sideband frequencies, statistical features and instantaneous energy can all reflect the fault features of the cracked gear.…”
