Abstract

The study employed a two-dimensional (2D) space with multibody dynamics as the physics to simulate the dynamic behaviour of intermeshing gears. Both the gear teeth and the gear body were employed to simulate the principal stress and strain as well as the Von Mises stress of the gear system. A pair of meshing teeth were examined from the pinion and the other from the gear for accurate contact stress-strain simulation. The validity of the proposed gear simulation was verified from principal surface stress, Von Mises stress, principal surface strain, elastic strain and total displacement. The results show that the dynamic behaviour of the gear could be attributed to the critical meshing characteristics of the single and double teeth. The peak-to-peak pattern of the Von Mises stress indicates the essential points of stress, which could cause the occurrence of the failure modes. The research of the gear motion study is profoundly enriched and served as a critical reference for gear design.
