Abstract
Misalignment errors (MEs) in multiple degrees of freedom (multi-DOFs) at the mesh position will lead to a change in the time-varying mesh stiffness (TVMS) and then affect the dynamic behaviour of gear pairs. Therefore, a new, more rapid, three-dimensional analytical model for TVMS calculation for gear pairs with three rotational and three translational MEs is established in this paper, and a new solution method based on potential energy theory is presented. In addition, the correctness of the new model is verified by the finite element method (FEM). Moreover, the effective contact line, uneven distribution of mesh force on the contact line, and mesh position change are taken into account. Finally, the TVMS under different ME conditions is calculated with the new analytical model. The results showed that the different MEs have dissimilar effects on the TVMS, and the relationship between the ME and TVMS is nonlinear. In addition, the region of single-pair and double-pair teeth in contact would also change with ME.
