Adaptive isogeometric gear contact analysis: geometry generation, truncated hierarchical B-Spline refinement and validation

Résumé

Gears are one of the most widely used transmission components. Their operation relies on the contact between mating gear teeth flanks for the transmission of power. Accurate prediction of the contact stresses at these regions, is crucial for the design and dimensioning of these systems. Gear design is centered around highly smooth involute curves that greatly influence their contact behaviour. In this paper, a fully adaptive isogeometric contact modelling scheme, based on hierarchical splines, is presented and applied to the simulation of gear contact problems. In particular, isogeometric simulation is performed for the modelling of mating pair of gear teeth, regarded as linearly elastic bodies. A boundary fitted B-Spline representation of the teeth is automatically generated from engineering design parameters and is used to define the initial discretisation basis. The numerical integration over the contact region is addressed using the so called, Gauss-Point to Surface formulation and a closest point projection procedure. Truncated hierarchical B-Splines are used to capture the highly localised nature of contact, while effectively reducing the number of degrees of freedom. The adaptivity is driven by the strain energy density gradient, which allows to automatically localise the mesh without a priori knowledge of the contact region between the teeth flanks. In our experiments we justify the choices made in different steps of our algorithm and we assess the performance of our adaptive solver with respect to classical tensor product B-Splines.
