Тheoretical investigation into the influence of a teeth fault to gear train vibrations
The vibration behavior of a healthy gear train is modelled as a sum of sinusoidal accelerations of a pinion, a gear, and a gear-mesh. A while noise is added trough waveform of normally distributed random numbers. The corresponding time-diagram and spectrogram are obtained. After that, an impulse acceleration waveform is added to simulate a teeth fault. The time-diagram and spectrogram are obtained again and compared. Conclusions are made.
