Abstract

In this work, elliptical contact is modeled in spiral bevel gear with a suitable ellipticity ratio. The elliptical point contact is modeled using constant velocity and varying velocity with side leakage. A loaded tooth contact analysis was carried out to determine the kinematic and gear mesh force developed during one mesh cycle. The kinematic parameters of the meshing gear pair, namely the contact cells, rolling velocity, sliding velocity and the load distribution in one mesh cycle are used in the elliptical point contact calculation to calculate the pressure and film thickness distribution. The effect of elliptical point contact and varying velocity on the pressure and film thickness distribution are studied. The time-varying contact parameters which are obtained from the tooth contact analysis are used in the tribological calculations. The effect of shaft misalignments on the elastohydrodynamic pressure distribution is also studied in this work.
