Abstract
The paper reports a feasibility study for the detection of automotive gear rattle induced by multi-harmonic excitation through the use of a wavelet multi-resolution analysis. The analysis adopts experimental data coming from a helical gear pair under unloaded conditions. The excitation of gear rattle is of periodic type with two harmonic components, which is similar to the excitation of an actual automotive I.C. engine. The dynamic behavior of the gear pair has been analyzed by varying the second order harmonic amplitude of the excitation, for two mean speed values. The analysis gives useful information to develop an index of performances based on the wavelet theory that could be adopted for comparative analyses with respect to the severity of the tooth impacts occurring during the rattle phenomenon.
