step 2: establishing a gear finite element model containing matrix cracks, wherein the cracks are parabolic non-penetrating matrix cracks;
step 2.1: the APDL function of ANSYS software is used for establishing a healthy gear finite element model containing 5 gear teeth. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, the method comprises the following steps: generating a tooth profile curve of a single gear by using ANSYS software according to the elastic modulus, the Poisson ratio, the inner hole radius, the base circle radius, the modulus, the pressure angle, the tooth crest height coefficient, the top clearance coefficient and the friction coefficient of the gear in basic parameters of the gear pair, wherein the tooth profile curve comprises an involute and a transition curve; secondly, the method comprises the following steps: carrying out rotary replication on the single gear teeth to generate a two-dimensional finite element model of the healthy gear; thirdly, the method comprises the following steps: stretching the generated two-dimensional finite element model of the gear along the central axis of the gear, wherein the stretching length is the tooth width value, and thus, generating a three-dimensional finite element model of the healthy gear; fourthly: and carrying out mesh thinning on the tooth surface near the meshing line.
Step 2.2: and generating a gear finite element model containing matrix cracks on the basis of the healthy gear model. The method specifically comprises the following steps: firstly, the method comprises the following steps: in the three-dimensional finite element model of the healthy gear, selecting a gear matrix part with cracks according to the initial position and the crack propagation direction of matrix cracks; secondly, the method comprises the following steps: dividing the selected gear matrix part into two parts of entities according to the crack starting position and the crack propagation direction by using a 'VSBL' command (using a working plane cutting body) in ANSYS; thirdly, the method comprises the following steps: establishing a coordinate system on the division surface of the two parts of entities, and generating the non-penetrating matrix crack according to a crack parabolic curve equation, wherein the crack parabolic curve equation is as follows:
Figure BDA0001364132290000081
wherein q (x) is the crack depth at any position x, q0To initial crack depth, LcFor crack width, L is gear width.
The finite element model of the matrix crack gear is established as shown in FIG. 2, wherein O1Is the central point of the driven wheel gear, O2From the center of the circle of the main wheel gear, a1 is indicated as a cracked cog, fig. 2b) is an enlarged view of fig. 2a) at a, and fig. 2c) is an enlarged view of fig. 2b) at a2, A3, indicates a matrix crack. The parabolic non-penetrating matrix crack is schematically shown in FIG. 3, wherein (B) is a cross-sectional view at B-B in (a), P1Expressed as starting point, P2Denoted as endpoint, 1 as path, A4 as crack plane, LcExpressed as crack width, q0Expressed as crack depth.
Step 2.3: contact is established. Firstly, further grid refinement is carried out on the crack surface according to the solving precision and efficiency, namely, three boundary curves forming the crack surface are equidistantly divided according to the interval of 1mm by using a 'LESIZE' command (for equidistantly dividing lines). The fracture surface is then refined using the "VMESH" command (for meshing). Finally, crack faces are individually selected and the surface-to-surface contact cells Conta174 and Targe170 are established on the crack faces of the refined grid, taking into account the contact and relative slippage that may occur between the crack faces; the Conta174 attribute is set by "KEYOPT", i.e., the gap between crack faces is automatically adjusted.
And step 3: analyzing the influence of the depth and the width of the crack on the meshing characteristics of the gear, and comparing the influence of whether contact is established on the crack surface on the calculation result;
step 3.1: the influence of the crack depth of the matrix on the meshing characteristics of the gear is analyzed.
Step 3.1.1: and calculating the meshing stiffness of the gear under the conditions of different matrix crack depths when contact is established on the crack surface and when contact is not established on the crack surface. After the gear finite element model is established, when finite element solution is carried out, the inner ring nodes of the driving wheel and the driven wheel are coupled together with respective geometric centers, the central point of the driven wheel is completely restrained, the central point of the driving wheel (the gear where the crack is located) is restrained so that the driving wheel can only rotate around the central shaft, torque of 500Nm in the clockwise direction is applied to the geometric center of the driving wheel, the angular displacement of the driving wheel is obtained, and a corresponding meshing rigidity value is obtained according to a meshing rigidity solution formula. The crack parameters were: depth of crack q05mm, 15mm, 25mm, crack initiation position angle psi 35 °, crack width Lc25mm and a crack propagation direction angle υ of 45 °. The calculation formula according to the meshing stiffness is as follows:
Figure BDA0001364132290000091
where K denotes a meshing rigidity, T denotes a torque applied to the primary pulley, Delta theta denotes an angular displacement of the primary pulley, and rbThe radius of the base circle of the driving wheel. When no contact unit is established on the crack surface, the solving step and the meshing rigidity calculation formula are the same as the solving meshing rigidity when the contact unit is established on the crack surface. And (3) equally dividing the meshing period of the gear into 20 parts, actually corresponding to 21 different meshing positions, and obtaining the rigidity values of the different meshing positions at each meshing position according to the meshing rigidity solving method. Since the engagement condition is different at each engagement position and the angular displacement is different after the loading, the rigidity is different at each engagement position. And drawing a meshing stiffness curve by taking the meshing period as an abscissa and the meshing stiffness value corresponding to the meshing position as an ordinate. The meshing stiffness curves for the case of contact and no contact elements at the crack plane are shown in FIG. 4, where (i) contact is established at the crack plane

Denotes q0The values of 25mm and health are indicated, and the amounts of decrease in the meshing stiffness corresponding to 5 meshing timings a to E in fig. 4 are shown in table 2, where in table 2, the amount of decrease in the meshing stiffness without contact means on the cracked surface is the stiffness of the healthy gear-the stiffness of the cracked gear without contact means on the cracked surface, the amount of decrease in the stiffness with contact means on the cracked surface is the stiffness of the healthy gear-the stiffness of the cracked gear with contact means on the cracked surface, and the percentage error in the meshing stiffness is [ (the amount of decrease in the stiffness when contact is established-the amount of decrease in the stiffness when contact is not made)/the amount of decrease in the stiffness without contact means]×100%。
By utilizing the post-processing function of ANSYS software, displacement cloud charts of the crack gear under different crack depths and contact pressure distribution on a crack surface are respectively obtained, so that the reason for error generation is further explained, and the method is shown in FIG. 5. Wherein (a), (b) and (c) in FIG. 5 are crack depths q when no contact is established on the crack surface0Displacement cloud pictures corresponding to 5mm, 15mm and 25 mm; it can be seen from the figure that the crack faces are intrusive and do not match reality. In FIG. 5, (d), (e), (f) show the crack depth q when contact is established on the crack surface0Displacement cloud pictures corresponding to 5mm, 15mm and 25 mm; it can be seen from the figure that the crack planes are not mutually intrusive and have relative slippage and are consistent with reality. In FIG. 5, (g), (h), (i) show the crack depth q after contact has been established on the crack surface0Contact pressure distribution on crack faces of 5mm, 15mm, 25 mm.
As can be seen from fig. 4 and table 2: (1) whether contact is established on the crack surface or not, the meshing rigidity of the gear is gradually reduced along with the increase of the depth of the crack; (2) the percentage error is progressively less when the cracked gear teeth are not entering mesh (see region 1). However, when the cracked teeth enter into mesh (see region 2), the percentage error tends to 0, i.e., the contact elements on the crack face have no effect on the time-varying mesh stiffness; the reason is as shown in fig. 5: (1) with the increase of the crack depth, the ratio of the actual contact area on the crack surface to the area of the whole crack surface is gradually smaller; (2) the contact pressure on the crack face becomes progressively smaller as the crack depth increases. Therefore, the effect of the actually contacted portion on the crack surface becomes smaller, and the percentage error becomes smaller.
TABLE 2 percent error in mesh stiffness at different crack depths
Figure BDA0001364132290000111
Step 3.1.2: the effect of matrix crack depth on gear root strain was analyzed. Since the gear tooth root portion is most severely stretched or squeezed and the effect of the crack on strain is to be investigated, a point Q on the left side tooth root portion of the cracked gear tooth is selected as a strain extraction point (the cracked gear tooth is close to the tooth root portion), the position of the point Q is shown in fig. 3, and the distance of the point Q from the gear end face is 27 mm. At each meshing position of the gear, the strain at the Q point is extracted using the post-processing function of ANSYS software. And drawing a curve of the strain of the point Q along with the change of the meshing period by taking the meshing period as an abscissa and the strain of the point Q at the corresponding position as an ordinate. The Q point strain extraction mode when no contact unit exists on the crack surface is the same as the Q point strain extraction mode when a contact unit exists on the crack surface.
The tooth root strain curves at Q-point for the case of contact and non-contact elements on the crack plane are shown in FIG. 6, where (i) contact is established on the crack plane

Denotes q0=15mm、
Figure BDA0001364132290000126
Denotes q0The strain drop amounts corresponding to 3 meshing timings, i.e., a to C in fig. 6, are shown in table 3, where the strain drop amount at the Q point when there is no contact element on the crack surface is defined as the strain at the Q point of the healthy gear-the strain at the Q point of the crack gear without contact element on the crack surface, and the strain drop amount when there is a contact element on the crack surface is defined as the strain at the Q point of the healthy gear-the strain at the Q point of the crack surface with contact element. Percent error of strain [ (amount of strain decrease without contact unit on crack surface-amount of strain decrease with contact unit on crack surface)/amount of strain decrease without contact unit on crack surface]×100%。
The following conclusions are drawn from fig. 6 and table 3: (1) the trend of the change of the percentage error of the strain at the point Q and the reason for the trend in the areas 1 and 2 are the same as in step 3.1.1; (2) it is to be noted that in region 1, when no contact is established on the crack faces of the crack, i.e., the interaction between the crack faces is not considered, the strain at the point Q tends to 0; considering the interaction between the crack faces, the Q point is subjected to compressive strain. This is because when no contact is established on the crack surface, the crack surface is not restrained, the substrate load-bearing capacity on both sides of the crack surface is much reduced, and therefore the Q-point strain is almost 0, but this is not practical. (3) As can be seen from fig. 6, the Q point is alternately subjected to compressive strain and tensile strain, and the strain gradually decreases as the crack depth increases.

Step 3.2: the influence of the matrix crack width on the gear mesh characteristics was analyzed.
Step 3.2.1: and (3) researching the influence of different matrix crack widths on the gear meshing rigidity, wherein the gear constraint mode, the load applying mode and the meshing rigidity solving mode are the same as the step 3.1.1 when finite element solving is carried out. The crack parameters were: crack width Lc5mm, 15mm, 25mm, crack initiation position angle psi 35 °, crack depth q025mm and a crack propagation direction angle υ of 45 °.

Denotes q025mm, which represents health, and the amounts of decrease in rigidity corresponding to 5 engagement times, E to a, are shown in table 4. It can be seen from fig. 7 and table 4 that in region 1, the percent meshing stiffness error gradually increases as the crack width increases, but in region 2, the percent meshing stiffness error approaches 0. In FIG. 8, (a), (b), and (c) are the respective crack widths LcContact pressure on the crack surface at 5mm, 15mm, 25 mm. As can be seen from fig. 8, the contact pressure on the crack face gradually increases with the increase of the column width, indicating that the interaction between the crack faces is larger and larger, so the engagement percentage error gradually increases with the increase of the crack width.

Denotes q025mm, healthy, the root strain reduction at meshing time A, B, C is shown in table 5. As can be seen from fig. 9 and table 5, in region 1, the strain gradually decreased as the crack width increased. However, the strain percentage error gradually increases with increasing crack width. In region 2, the strain percentage error is close to 0.

And 4, step 4: meshing stiffness and strain curves were analyzed. From steps 3.1 and 3.2 it can be seen that:
(1) as the depth and width of the matrix crack increase, the mesh stiffness and strain gradually decrease. (2) The meshing stiffness and strain of a cracked gear are different, with and without consideration of the interaction between the crack faces. It is noted that the meshing stiffness and the strain percentage error gradually decrease with the increase of the crack depth, because the area ratio of the actual contact portion between the crack surfaces to the entire crack surface gradually decreases with the increase of the crack depth, and the contact pressure on the crack surfaces gradually decreases with the increase of the crack depth, and the contact portion on the crack surfaces gradually decreases in function. In contrast, as the crack width increases, the contact pressure on the crack surface gradually increases, and the contact portion on the crack surface gradually increases in play, so that the meshing rigidity and the strain percentage error gradually increase with the crack width. In summary, for a non-through-the-matrix cracked gear, consideration of the interaction between the crack faces makes the meshing stiffness and strain results more accurate. Since the percentage error is greater with smaller substrate crack depths and larger substrate crack widths, the interaction between the crack faces is considered at this time.
