Modification of geometry of spur and helical gears with parallel axes and helical gears with crossed axes is proposed. The finishing process of gear generation is shaving. The purposes of modification of the gear geometry are to localize and stabilize the bearing contact, and to reduce noise and vibration. The goals mentioned above are achieved by using profile crowning and plunging the shaver by a prescribed motion during pinion generation. The pinion becomes double crowned. The gear member is generated as a conventional involute gear. A tooth contact analysis (TCA) program for simulation of meshing and contact was developed and the analysis is illustrated with TCA results for spur and helical gears.

The computerized design, methods for generation, simulation of meshing, and enhanced stress analysis of modified involute helical gears is presented. The approaches proposed for modification of conventional involute helical gears are based on conjugation of double-crowned pinion with a conventional helical involute gear. Double-crowning of the pinion means deviation of cross-profile from an involute one and deviation in longitudinal direction from a helicoid surface. Using the method developed, the pinion-gear tooth surfaces are in point-contact, the bearing contact is localized and oriented longitudinally, and edge contact is avoided. Also, the influence of errors of alignment on the shift of bearing contact, vibration, and noise are reduced substantially. The theory developed is illustrated with numerical examples that confirm the advantages of the gear drives of the modified geometry in comparison with conventional helical involute gears.Glenn Research CenterCOMPUTER AIDED DESIGN; GEARS; STRESS ANALYSIS; COMPUTERIZED SIMULATION; VIBRATION

This revised, expanded, edition covers the theory, design, geometry and manufacture of all types of gears and gear drives. This is an invaluable reference for designers, theoreticians, students, and manufacturers. This edition includes advances in gear theory, gear manufacturing, and computer simulation. Among the new topics are: 1. New geometry for modified spur and helical gears, face-gear drives, and cycloidal pumps. 2. New design approaches for one stage planetary gear trains and spiral bevel gear drives. 3. An enhanced approach for stress analysis of gear drives with FEM. 4. New methods of grinding face gear drives, generating double crowned pinions, and improved helical gear shaving. 5. Broad application of simulation of meshing and TCA. 6. New theories on the simulation of meshing for multi-body systems, detection of cases wherein the contact line on generating surfaces may have its own envelope, and detection and avoidance of singularities of generated surfaces.

A new approach for design, generation, and computerized simulation of meshing and contact of face-milled, formate cut spiral bevel gears is presented. The purpose is to develop a low noise, stabilized bearing contact for this type of gear drives. The approach proposed is based on application of three procedures that permit in sequence, to provide a longitudinally directed bearing contact, a predesigned parabolic function of transmission errors and limit the shift of bearing contact caused by errors of alignment. The theory developed is illustrated with an example of design and computation.

In this report, we propose a new geometry for low-noise, increased-strength helical gears of the Novikov- Wildhaber type. Contact stresses are reduced as a result of their convex-concave gear tooth surfaces. The gear tooth surfaces are crowned in the profile direction to localize bearing contact and in the longitudinal direction to obtain a parabolic function of transmission errors. Such a function results in the reduction of noise and vibrations. Methods for the generation of the proposed gear tooth surfaces by grinding and hobbing are considered, and a tooth contact analysis (TCA) computer program to simulate meshing and contact is applied. The report also investigates the influence of misalignment on transmission errors and shift of bearing contact. Numerical examples to illustrate the developed approaches are proposed.
