Gear Fatigue Crack Diagnosis by Vibration Analysis Using Embedded Modeling
Abstract
This paper describes an embedded modeling methodology for identifying gear meshing stiffness from measured gear angular displacement or transmission error. An embedded model integrating a physical based model of the gearbox and a parametric representation, in the form of truncated Fourier series, of meshing stiffness is established. A solution method is then used to find the meshing stiffness that minimizes the discrepancy between model output and the measured output. Both simulation and experimental studies were conducted to evaluate if identified tooth meshing stiffness can reveal a tooth crack more effectively.
