Modeling and Calculation of Impact Friction Caused by Corner Contact in Gear Transmission

Corner contact in gear pair causes vibration and noise,which has attracted many attentions.However,teeth errors and deformation make it difficulty to determine the point situated at corner contact and study the mechanism of teeth impact friction in the current researches.Based on the mechanism of corner contact,the process of corner contact is divided into two stages of impact and scratch,and the calculation model including gear equivalent error-combined deformation is established along the line of action.According to the distributive law,gear equivalent error is synthesized by base pitch error,normal backlash and tooth profile modification on the line of action.The combined tooth compliance of the first point lying in corner contact before the normal path is inversed along the line of action,on basis of the theory of engagement and the curve of tooth synthetic complianceload-history.Combined secondarily the equivalent error with the combined deflection,the position standard of the point situated at corner contact is probed.Then the impact positions and forces,from the beginning to the end during corner contact before the normal path,are calculated accurately.Due to the above results,the lash model during corner contact is founded,and the impact force and frictional coefficient are quantified.A numerical example is performed and the averaged impact friction coefficient based on the presented calculation method is validated.This research obtains the results which could be referenced to understand the complex mechanism of teeth impact friction and quantitative calculation of the friction force and coefficient,and to gear exact design for tribology.

Molecular dynamics simulation of structural change at metal/semiconductor interface induced by nanoindenter

The structures of the Si/Cu heterogenous interface impacted by a nanoindenter with different incident angles and depths are investigated in detail using molecular dynamics simulation.The simulation results suggest that for certain incident angles,the nanoindenter with increasing depth can firstly increase the stress of each atom at the interface and it then introduces more serious structural deformation of the Si/Cu heterogenous interface.A nanoindenter with increasing incident angle（absolute value） can increase the length of the Si or Cu extended atom layer.It is worth mentioning that when the incident angle of the nanoindenter is between-45° and 45°,these Si or Cu atoms near the nanoindenter reach a stable state,which has a lower stress and a shorter length of the Si or Cu extended atom layer than those of the other incident angles.This may give a direction to the planarizing process of very large scale integration circuits manufacture.

Bending vibration analysis of rotating machineries using multibody dynamics technology — development of computer program RotB

This paper examines a computer program developed to analyze the vibration of rotating machineries based on theories of vibration and multibody dynamics （MBD）. Bending vibration problems of rotating machineries have generally been categorized as either linear or nonlinear. Linear problems can be formulated by standard methods and nonlinear problems can be formulated by MBD methods. In our study, nonlinear problems are treated by the use of a general-purpose computer program, RecurDyn （RD）. In the program we developed, rotor bending vibration analysis （RotB） structural properties such as shafts, rotating rotary disks, unbalanced masses and foundation structures are modeled as multibody elements. Also, nonlinearities such as contact, non-symmetrical shaft effects, bearing characteristics, nonlinear restoring and damping characteristics in the bearings are taken into account. The computational results demonstrate the validity of RotB.

IMPACTS OF SURFACE FRICTION AND OROGRAPHICAL FORCING ON THE EAST ASIA COASTAL CYCLOGENESIS

Some numerical simulations from real data were carried out to examine the impacts of surface friction and orographic forcing on the East Asia coastal cyclogenesis.The results show that the decreasing of the surface friction over the ocean is essential for the cyclone development and the mechanical forcing of Qinghai-Xizang Plateau acts a damping effect in the initial stage of the cyclone.
