Abstract

The current technological state-of-the-art utilises modified gear profiles, which are in part non-conjugate and therefore cannot be analysed using standard conjugate contact theory. Existing non-conjugate mathematical models require the solution of a system of implicit equations, typically with significant computational effort and need for careful monitoring of solution stability, convergence and selection of initial values. This paper derives a modified form for the fundamental gear meshing equations, which are reduced analytically to a single scalar equation, resulting in improved solution speed and stability. The solution is verified in benchmark tests using real gear geometries.
