Cutting Stiffness Analysis of a Gearbox’s Back Case Based on FEA

Abstract:

For the stiffness of the cutting face is nonuniform, the evenness of the machining face may not be ensured during a gearbox back shell’s cutting process. By reasonably simplifying the machining process, a cutting stiffness contrast analysis of three design schemes is performed in this paper, and then improvement advice is brought forward to the design engineer. The paper has some engineering value and can be used for reference in similar analysis.
