Fatigue Life Prediction of Gear Transmission Based on ANSYS

With the study subject of the gear transmission in an unmanned system, several common methods of fatigue life prediction are analyzed. According to the actual running state, S-N nominal stress method is used to predict the fatigue life of the gears. Based on the S-N data of the gear material and the linear cumulative damage theory, ANSYS is used to estimate the bending fatigue life of the gears, so as to obtain the fatigue life loss coefficient of the gears. It provides a reliable data reference of the design, use and maintenance of the gear transmission in unmanned system.
