Abstract
This paper deals with the experimental validation of the dynamic model of a single stage geared system representative of a back-to-back test rig. The validation relies on loaded transmission error (TE) measurements by using optical encoders which are compared with simulation results. The influence of tooth pitting on TE is highlighted and it is demonstrated that a simple pit model can reproduce the actual vibrations generated by such surface failures.
