Abstract

In full consideration of time-varying meshing performance and oil film characteristics, entrainment effect on elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) is developed for establishing accurate forecasting model of the complex hypoid gears. Firstly, dynamic loaded tooth contact analysis (DLTCA) is employed to determine the meshing interface kinematics, load distribution and entrainment speed under dynamic load condition. Then, entrainment speed is introduced into the EHL governing equation and accurate forecasting model is established. With accurate discretization of EHL governing equation, discrete convolution and fast Fourier transformation (DC-FFT) method is employed to compute the flank elastic deformation. Finally, a hypoid gear set in automotive industrial application is exercised to verify entrainment effect on EHL assessment in the proposed model.
