Overview
Lack of representative failure models for gear failures causes difficulties in their useful lifetime prediction.
Features
- Critical operational parameters such as loading, speed and lubrication affect the physics of gear meshing zone in a very complex manner and lead the modelling to an imperfect zone of assumptions.
- These complexities allow the researchers to use approximations for useful lifetime calculations.
- In this Failure Models for Transmission Gears Health Monitoring research at Cranfield University, a theory will be postulated for the combined mode of gear failures.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- Based on modelling approximations and assumptions, several models have been introduced in academic research domain.
- But still the models are failure specific and have considered surface failures (i.e. scuffing and pitting) and bending fatigue separately.
- Practically, there is a very high possibility that a gear is operated under an influence of both types of failures and hence reaches to its breakage well before the life estimated by a failure specific model.
- Due to this, a model considering the theoretical aspects of both types of failures can reflect more practicality of gear meshing and can provide more good estimation of useful life.
