STUDY ON STEADY-STATE TEMPERATURE FIELD OF THE MESHING PAIR OF TWO-TOOTH DIFFERENCE SWING-ROD MOVABLE TOOTH DRIVE by YI YaLi, JI YaMeng, GUO Hui, JIN HeRong

“…Based on the basic theory of heat transfer and tribology,the calculation formulas of the friction heat flux density of meshing pair,the meshing tooth surface and the end face convective heat transfer coefficient with two-tooth difference swing-rod movable tooth drive are derived under the slip condition.A finite element model of the thermal analysis of the gear meshing pair is established,and the steady-state temperature field of the meshing pair under thermal balance state is calculated and analyzed by using the ANSYS finite element software.Combined with numerical simulation results,the influence of tooth profile design parameters on the temperature field is revealed.The result shows that:the steady-state temperature field of the meshing pair is determined collectively by the heat flux of the contact zone and the convection heat transfer coefficient of each surface.Because the temperature rise of sliding friction is larger,the maximum temperature appears in the center of the gear meshing face width of the center,the radius of the base circle radius has a great influence on the body temperature of the meshing surface,and the swing rod length is less affected.The research results lay the foundation for the study of the thermal deformation and thermal mechanical coupling characteristics of the meshing pair,so as to guide the dynamic design of the two-tooth difference swing-rod movable tooth drive.…”

Instability Mechanism of Cavity-Bearing Formation under Tunnel Excavation Disturbance by Tao Liu, Haotong Wang, Xiuting Su, Kexian Li, Shiqun Liu, Fengsong Guo

“…Besides the first step of excavation, in the numerical simulation, the settlement value of the same stage is about 1.3 times that of the model test. Simulating the deformation process of the surrounding rock in model tests shows that, in the excavation of the tunnel, the collapse surface of the tunnel arch roof will be connected with the sliding surface of the formation cavity. …”

Research of the Finite Element Simulation Method of Multi-tooth Meshing Gear Train Under Complex Mechanical Behavior by Jianfang Xia, Qicheng He, Dongyang Liu, Fangjun Gao

“…The core transmission unit of the star gear drive reducer is a small-tooth-difference multi-tooth meshing gear train， which involves gears with multi-tooth elastic contact meshing， shaft-hole contact， and crankshaft rotation and so on drive relationship， gear motion includes fixed-axis rotation and compound rotation （rotation and translation）.The relationship between mechanics and kinematics is more complicated， and there is no relevant theory in the calculation of strength， deformation and so on. In order to obtain the gear contact strength and bending strength， based on the mechanical theory and computational mechanics simulation methods， under the premise of meeting the requirements of engineering calculation accuracy， a simplified method of the finite element physical model under the complex mechanical behavior of a multi-tooth meshing gear train is explored， and how to deal with simulation problems such as simplification of crankshafts and bearings， meshing of gear teeth， contact convergence， etc. …”
