Optimal design of gears contact interface modification for an objective as minimum impact resistance of initial meshing-in time domain

Abstract In gear pair actual alternating meshing process, the comprehensive errors of the transmission system and the thermal elastic deformation of the teeth body cause the gears in the meshing state to high pair contact nodes inconsistently, especially the transient process of meshing-in and meshing-out points will deviate from the theoretical line, which will cause a sudden change in the meshing velocity and cause instantaneous impact of meshing. Off line meshing impact will generate large additional loads, which has attracted many attentions. The gear transmission system vibration and noise are increased, and the impact of gear teeth meshing-in is significantly greater than that of meshing-out. Therefore, optimal analysis of the impact with the minimum value of gear teeth meshing-in includes determining the initial meshing points, calculating of meshing impact velocity and the impact force of teeth meshing-out. The optimized calculation model using loaded teeth contact analysis method is validated.
