Effect of spalling or tooth breakage on gearmesh stiffness and dynamic response of a one-stage spur gear transmission

Tooth faults affecting gear transmission are always accompanied by a stiffness reduction. In this article an analytical method is proposed to quantify the reduction of gearmesh stiffness due to two common tooth faults: spalling and breakage. Bending, fillet-foundation and contact deflection are taken into account. The dynamic response of a single stage spur gear transmission is computed by using analytical gearmesh issued from analytical modelling and the vibration signatures of each tooth fault is identified.
