Statistical tolerance analysis of gears by Tooth Contact Analysis
Résumé
To analyze the influence of geometrical variations of parts on functional characteristics, a powerful way consist to simulate its geometrical behaviour. For gears, a specific method based on Tooth Contact Analysis is developed to evaluate influence of intrinsic and situation deviations of pinion and wheel on the assembly. Moreover, a statistical analysis allows to determine probability distribution of the functional characteristic - cinematic error for a list of random geometrical deviations.
