Overview

Lack of representative failure models for gear failures causes difficulties in their useful lifetime prediction.

Features

Critical operational parameters such as loading, speed and lubrication affect the physics of gear meshing zone in a very complex manner and lead the modelling to an imperfect zone of assumptions.
These complexities allow the researchers to use approximations for useful lifetime calculations.
In this Failure Models for Transmission Gears Health Monitoring research at Cranfield University, a theory will be postulated for the combined mode of gear failures.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Based on modelling approximations and assumptions, several models have been introduced in academic research domain.
But still the models are failure specific and have considered surface failures (i.e. scuffing and pitting) and bending fatigue separately.
Practically, there is a very high possibility that a gear is operated under an influence of both types of failures and hence reaches to its breakage well before the life estimated by a failure specific model.
Due to this, a model considering the theoretical aspects of both types of failures can reflect more practicality of gear meshing and can provide more good estimation of useful life.
