Abstract
Time-varying meshing stiffness (TVMS) is a significant nonlinear periodic excitation in helical gears, it poses significant impacts on gear system’s dynamic characteristics and fatigue life. However, the specific impact of profile shift on it remains unclear. This article establishes an analytical model for the TVMS of helical gears by utilizing the slicing method to address this gap based on the potential energy method, and quantitatively analyze the TVMS with different modification coefficients. The research found that the helical gear’s TVMS decreases with the increase of modification coefficient for individual profile shifts. For the equal compound profile shifts, it rises with the increase of modification coefficient of pinion. For the unequal compound profile shifts, the positive drive increases the TVMS, but the negative drive to the contrary. The research achievements provide valuable guidelines for dynamic design and structure optimization for helical gears.
