Research on Contact Fatigue of Cylindrical Gear

Abstract:

Based on the dynamic balance principle and contact fatigue properties of cylindrical gear pair, the influence factors of dynamics are researched and the meshing location for the maximum contact stress is accurately determined. Loading spectrum of contact stress is obtained by transient dynamic analysis. At the same time, the corresponding S-N curve for contact fatigue is described in a double logarithmic coordinate system. Then the finite element analysis on the contact fatigue life is carried out by ANSYS Workbench and safety factor for both gears are obtained. It has great significance for evaluating the reliability of the cylindrical gear pair.
