Dynamic analysis for a pair of spur gears with translational motion due to bearing deformation

In this study, the dynamic response of a pair of spur gears is analyzed when the gear set has translational motion due to bearing deformation. A new dynamic model for the gear set, considering translational motion, is proposed, in which the distance between the centers of a pinion and a gear varies with time. Therefore, the proposed model regards the pressure angle and the contact ratio as time-varying variables, while the previous model regards them as constants. After deriving nonlinear equations of motion for the gear set, the dynamic responses are computed by applying the Newmark time integration method. This paper claims that the new model produces more accurate dynamic responses in comparison to those of the previous model. Some dynamic response differences between the new and previous models are demonstrated, and the effects of damping and stiffness upon the dynamic responses are also investigated.
