Thermal-Mechanical Coupling Analysis of Power Spilt Device Gear Train

Power Spilt Device (PSD) is the key power component of Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). It is very important to simulate and analyze the temperature field and stress field of PSD gear train. The thermal-mechanical coupling analysis is difficult, as it involves the interaction between temperature field and stress field. This paper presents the process of the thermal-mechanical coupling simulation in ABAQUS, and tooth surface temperature and contact stress are obtained and analyzed.
