Abstract

Due to the compatibility with accurate geometry of contact surface, finite element analysis (FEA) is an efficient method for tooth contact analysis of gear pair with profile deviation. However, it usually requires a dense grid along the height of the tooth in order to simulate the elliptically distributed contact pressure. In consideration of reducing the node number, the grid model of spur gear pair with profile deviation is firstly established based on the realistic tooth flank equation and then locally refined at the vicinity of theoretic contact point. With the refined grid model, global linear deformation and local nonlinear contact deformation of tooth can be accurately calculated, and mesh stiffness of gear pair with different profile deviation and load are obtained correspondingly. According to the results, the influence of each profile deviation on mesh stiffness, the coupling effect of different profile deviation, and the nonlinear relevance between load and mesh stiffness are analyzed and can be used to provide reference for further dynamic analysis of gear pair.
