this study examines the dynamics response of the gear, which is based
on the model involving the effect of friction for the tooth mesh process. The 6
DOF model is developed to involve the effects on not only the gear dynamic but
is also supporting the driving motor as well as the loading systems. This
dissertation investigates a relevant aspect which are
according to the dynamics modeling for
the transmission of gear starting with
simplest 1DOF, then also develop the 3DOF along with finishing with the 6DOF. The
complete study is provided, which influence the design of the parameters, like
the number of teeth, gear ratio, pressure angle, an addendum coefficient. The
detailed explanation of the gear dynamics model is discussed in detail in the below
section introduction. The thesis paper will critically analyze on the bending stresses features that relate to the spear
gear when in its static state. The generation of the tooth profile occur
through the Catia, and the finite element
method of analysis will be used with the help of the MATLAB software. The
project will evaluate the stresses that are in the root of the tooth through
the various theoretical models.
Introduction of Modelling and Dynamic Analysis of Gear
Gears that is a very important element in the
mechanical system of transmission. Which study on the ways the gears will
transmit the power in the parallel shafts. The gears are a simple machine
element that contains some teeth that are arranged like the cylinder and have
equal distance between them. These elements are playing a major role in making
different machines like clock and gearbox of the car. The main function of
these gears is to transmit forces and as well as the forces from one part to
the other part of the driving shaft. The Gears are classified on the basis of
their shape and figures. These gears are also divided on the basis of position of shaft
that include shaft gears, non-parallel, interesting shaft gears and also non
intersecting shaft gears. The gear is one of the oldest machine elements that
has been used by the ancient peoples. The thesis paper will critically analyses
on the bending stresses features that relate to the spear gear when in its static
state. The generation of the tooth profile occur through the Catia and the
finite element method of analysis will be used with the help of the MATLAB
software.
The project will evaluate the stresses that are
in the root of the tooth through the various theoretical models. In this case,
the results that will come from the Finite Element and the Theoretical methods
will be closely compared to get the deviations. The report will also seek to
introduce displacement and the stress features of the tooth while on the
dynamic states. The paper will therefore
do analytical calculations with the use of relevant software. According to the
shape of the tooth pair as well as disposition
gears is classified into helical, spur,
straight bevel, double helical as well as worm and spiral gears. The fundamental
law of gearing is defined as the ratio of angular velocity among the set of
gears throughout the mesh. By input and output fluctuations of torque is under
idling or lightly loaded conditions gear rattle as well as the tooth impacts
caused by the presence of gear backlash.
In the vehicle interior, this dynamic behavior
can increase the noise. There are many
papers in the literature that concerned with the dynamic gear; eventually to compute the dynamic transmission
error it’s very important to predict the noise of gear as well as increase the
life of gear. In the mechanical power transmission system gear is one of the
important machine elements. To transmit power among parallel shafts Spur gear
is most basic gear that is used. By bending failure or contact failure spur
gear generally fails.
Research Questions of Modelling and Dynamic Analysis of Gear
·
What are the existing models
describing gear’s dynamics?
·
What are the main parameters that are playing an essential role in gear’s dynamics?
·
How it is proven the role of
each parameter in gear’s dynamics? (Examples of transient responses to justify
it).
In the gear dynamics, the lumped parameters are incorporating effects of
the asymmetric mesh as well as time-varying
stiffness along with the non-linearity of backlash
which is formulated for the Spur gear in rattle response below the idling
conditions [1]. In the vibrating systems, the lumped parameters are coupled in the dynamic model of gear by the
lateral torsional of the Six degrees of freedom
(6 DOF). The lumped parameters for the idling spur gear systems involving the
backward as well as forward tooth contacts which are formulated as in below section. By using the formulation of mesh
stiffness as well as the mesh stiffness, for the dynamics model of the 6DOF as
the lumped parameters are also developed
for the spur gearbox systems . The figure of the dynamic gear model of the 6 DOF
is also shown in appendix 1. Now the
equation of motion for the dynamic systems is derived here. And an equation of the
motion for the torsional vibrations is also represented by the below equation,

For spur gear systems, the
design parameters which is used in the above table. In the gear dynamics, the mesh
stiffness K which is the Key parameters to obtain
the numerical identification for the finite model in the teeth contact. For the
Spur gear systems, the resultant formulation gives the response under the
idling condit6iobns for the numerical simulations of the design parameters [2].
The proven parameter in gear’s dynamics
In the Spur gear systems the lumped parameters model for the 2 degrees of freedom is generalized by the
meshing stiffness of the transmission error, backlash, external periodic
excitation is established. By solving the differential equations for the responses
of vibration analysis, the Network Method is used, where the characteristic of the
transient’s response effects the rotational speed in the dynamic of the Spur
systems. The influences of the gear systems in the bearing coupling for the
gear system used the single DOF model as well as the multi DOF model to suppose
the parameters of a time-varying in the gear system. In the lumped parameter, the 2
degree of freedom is purely torsional to investigate the gear bearing of spur system
[3].
The effects of the excitation for the internal
as well as external is the strongly non-linear for the backlash effects. Among
the driven gear along with the driving gear,
the dynamic model of the gear is shown in appendix
2 . Now the discussion is about the geometric parameters, where the assumption
are shown for simple the dynamics model of the gear friction forces at mesh is
neglected; And in the appendix 3 the mechanical model which is the retaining characteristics
to arise the interaction of spur gear mesh along with the
non-linearity’s of bearing [4]. The Shafts as well
as bearings, which support the gears to, modeled
through the equivalent elements by the different viscous damping coefficients
as
well as the liner springs.
In the explicit formulations the torque
input, as well as the torque output, is assumed through the lower frequency
which is named as;
Now take the backlash, the meshing stiffness,
as well as transmission error along with the fluctuation torque. The relation
of the force-displacement at the bearing
is taken as a linear. When the kinetic energy, plus the potential energy U along
with the dissipation of the function R is recognized.
To prove all parameters of the dynamic
model of the gear system, by using the Lagrange equation the 2 DOF in the
torsional motion for the non-linear geared system is explained the appendix 2

Literature Review of Modelling and Dynamic Analysis of Gear
Gears
Gears are the basic components of various
complex and normal machines, gears are used for the transmitting motion, and
depends on shifting torque from the shaft to another. However, every invention
having the rotation machine have gears.
Gears first used in 2600 BC Chinese used them for measuring the speed of chariots, Archimedes used in 250 BC,
and in 4th BC Aristotle used. Greeks and Romans and Greeks used it widely in buildings ecclesiastical and in
the clocks [1].
In early centuries the gear was built or manufactured by stones or latterly
by wood and stone tooth were installed in wood, to increase the life and
stability of gears. However, from last few centuries,
the gears advancement took placed, and changed from wood and stone era to
metal, like iron and its substitutes to overcome the rusting issue. Until 1835
there was no standard procedure to follow to make gears later English inventor
patented the gear systems [2]. The first gear machine Feature patented by Germany in 1897
and introduced NC machine in 1975, and later they introduced 6-axis gear
hobbing machine.
Figure 1: Wooden Clock
However, various machines and gear model were
built in the early stages, but the stress between the gear systems
remained there until 1892. Then later Philadelphia engineer, in 1892 recognized
this issue and developed a research on stresses of the gear tooth, which is
still used in the various model for gear
stress[3].
Spur Gears
Such gears that contain cylindrical pitch
surfaces are known as cylindrical gears. The simplest form of the gear is known
as a spur gear
and used to transmit the rotational
motion between the parallel shafts; this
is used for all common machines and on all aspects however this gear system is
hard to be used in the extensive load, ratio or the speed directed towards another point. The other gear types also remain
comfortable with Low vibration operations were demanded. The ratio a single
spur gear requires is 1:1 or 1:6 minimum, with a velocity of 25 milliseconds it
has efficiency around 98%, it is recommended to have a high number of teeth’s in the gears to strength. The minimum requirement of teeth is twenty degrees. Spur gear is low cost easy to manufacture this increased the use of the spur
gear and still they are being used in
various machines.
The spur gear is being
used from very basic applications like a bicycle
to aero-plane hence proved as the best
solution.
Special features of Modelling and Dynamic Analysis of
Gear
-
Centre Distance:
The center
point distance of two spur gears is the distance from the center shaft point of one spur gear to another center
shaft point. Centre to centre distance
limit for two gears in mesh can be
assessed with this formula.
Figure 3: Rotation [5]
Spur gears in a 2-gear drive system Gear 1 and
2 will rotate opposite direction.
The relationship between the rotation gears drive system can be stated as
follows:
Two
meshing gears (Gear sets are comprised of 2 or more gears fixed to the same
shaft) rotate in opposite directions. Each odd-numbered
gear lead to turns in the same direction.
Application of Spur Gear requirements:
The workload and environment of the gear set in
mind.
1.
Power, velocity, torque mechanical requirements need consistency and
output peaks so that the gear meets
2.
The apathy of the gear via accelerations and
de-acceleration
3.
Precision including gear pitch, shaft diameter, pressure angle, and tooth layout.
4.
Gear lubrication requirements. Some gears require lubrication
for smooth, temperate operation.
5.
Noise Spur gears are especially noisy in operation
6.
Corrosive Environments. Gears revealed to weather or chemical which
must overprotected from corrosion
7.
Temperature exposure. The temperature
may react on gears in a way which may
wrap or become brittle
Materials which in the Spur
gear
1.
Cast iron gives durability & simplicity of manufacture.
2.
Alloy steel gives superior durability and corrosion resistance.
Chemical composition could be added to the alloy to harden the gear
3.
Cast steel vibration resistance, also have decent fabrication and works with
strong loads
4.

6.
Copper is easily shaped, conductive and corrosion resistant. However, for
gears potency would increase if bronzed.
7.

quiet operationally and can overcome missing teeth
Types of gears:
-
External spur gears: these gears are the most common of all the
types. Two cylindrical wheels, a large one, called gear and a small one known
as the opinion form them, straight teeth
couples them.
-
Inner spur gear: its design is similar to the common spur gear.
The difference is basically in how the gears are placed; they have an internal coupling. This type of gear is also known
as ring gears. The internal spur gears can be associated with a system of planetary gears, in which
three or four gears (planets) are spinning around a pinion (sun)
-
Pinion and rack gear: This is constituted by a ribbon that has
straight teeth along it, and make contact with a pinion that does have the
shape of a normal gear. This type of gear helps to transform a rotary movement
into a linear one and vice versa.
-
Helical gear: it has
a cylindrical structure like the spur gear, but the shape of the teeth has a
helical curve. It can transmit more power and produce less vibration and noise
than spur gears. However, it generates an
additional thrust that requires bearings to hold it.
-
Conical gears: it has the same teeth as the spur gears, the
main difference is the working on conical surfaces between intersecting axes.
They can produce high loads and speeds. There is a variety of conical gears:
spur, spiral and angular.
-
Worm Screw: it is formed by a screw that
has helical teeth, which is mounted on the drive shaft and a crown that is the
driven element, which transmits their
movement between axes perpendicularly making an angle of 90 °. [13]
