Book Description
The fatigue life of a gear tooth can be thought of as the sum of the number of cycles required to initiate a crack, N(sub i), plus the number of cycles required to propagate the crack to such a length that fracture occurs, N(sub p). The factors that govern crack initiation are thought to be related to localized stress or strain at a point, while propagation of a fatigue crack is a function of the crack tip parameters such as crack shape, stress state, and stress intensity factor. During a test there is no clear transition between initiation and propagation. The mechanisms of initiation and propagation are quite different and modeling them separately produces a higher degree of accuracy, but then the question that continually arises is 'what is a crack?' The total life prediction in a fracture mechanics model presently hinges on the assumption of an initial crack length, and this length can significantly affect the total life prediction. The size of the initial crack is generally taken to be in the range of 0.01 in. to 0.2 in. Several researchers have used various techniques to determine the beginning of the crack propagation stage. Barhorst showed the relationship between dynamic stiffness changes and crack propagation. Acoustic emissions, which are stress waves produced by the sudden movement of stressed materials, have also been successfully used to monitor the growth of cracks in tensile and fatigue specimens. The purpose of this research is to determine whether acoustic emissions can be used to define the beginning of crack propagation in a gear using a single-tooth bending fatigue test.

Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
The first book on Prognostics and Health Management of Electronics Recently, the field of prognostics for electronic products has received increased attention due to the potential to provide early warning of system failures, forecast maintenance as needed, and reduce life cycle costs. In response to the subject's growing interest among industry, government, and academic professionals, this book provides a road map to the current challenges and opportunities for research and development in Prognostics and Health Management (PHM). The book begins with a review of PHM and the techniques being developed to enable a prognostics approach for electronic products and systems. building on this foundation, the book then presents the state of the art in sensor systems for in-situ health and usage monitoring. Next, it discusses the various models and algorithms that can be utilized in PHM. Finally, it concludes with a discussion of the opportunities in future research. Readers can use the information in this book to: Detect and isolate faults Reduce the occurrence of No Fault Found (NFF) Provide advanced warning of system failures Enable condition-based (predictive) maintenance Obtain knowledge of load history for future design, qualification, and root cause analysis Increase system availability through an extension of maintenance cycles and/or timely repair actions Subtract life cycle costs of equipment from reduction in inspection costs, down time, and inventory Prognostics and Health Management of Electronics is an indispensable reference for electrical engineers in manufacturing, systems maintenance, and management, as well as design engineers in all areas of electronics.

Detecting Gear Tooth Fracture in a High Contact Ratio Face Gear Mesh
Author: Systematic Analysis of Gear Failures
Author: Lester E. AlbanPublisher: ASM International
ISBN: 9781615031771
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Explores the detailed steps necessary to determine the causes of failure. First, the physical characteristics of a gear are studied: where the stress points are, from what directions the forces are applied, where the movement of material progresses, and where strain patterns exist. Second, all external conditions and forces are considered. With this background information, a systematic examination is described from beginning to end, the end being a conclusion about the mode and cause of failure.

Gear Crack Detection Using Tooth Analysis
Author: Publisher:
ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 18
Book Description
Gear cracks are typically difficult to diagnose with sufficient warning time. Significant damage must he present before algorithms detect the damage. A new feature extraction and two new detection techniques are proposed. The time synchronous averaging concept was extended from revolution-based to tooth engagement-based. The detection techniques are based on statistical comparisons among the averages for the individual teeth. These techniques were applied to a series of three seeded fault crack propagation tests. These tests were conducted on aerospace quality spur gears in a test rig. The tests were conducted at speeds ranging from 2500 to 7500 revolutions per minute and torque from 184 to 228 percent of design load. The inability to detect these cracks with high confidence may be caused by the high loading required to initiate the cracks. The results indicate that these techniques do not currently produce an indication of damage that significantly exceeds experimental scatter.
