Abstract:
      By the contact simulation analysis the applications of the general contact elements in the calculations of the tooth deformation and contact stress of gears have been investigated. The tooth contact model of a pair of mesh gear has been created, new finite element methods are used for calculating the tooth deformation and contact stress of gear, comparing with the hertz theory, and the contact stress with friction has been calculated. The errors in mesh discretization, geometry, boundary area and loading methods have been analyzed by calculation, the computation benchmark of the tooth deformation and contact stress is created, the accurateness, effectiveness and reliability of new finite element methods are described.
