Abstract
A methodology is proposed to study the interplay between tooth wear and contact fatigue under elastohydrodynamic lubrication condition. The modeling methodology includes the influence of contact fatigue on wear and the influence of wear on contact fatigue. First, the changes in film pressure and film thickness of oil at each meshing point caused by contact fatigue are introduced according to the surface wear model, and the change of wear model is analyzed to study the effect of contact fatigue on wear. Then, according to the elastohydrodynamic lubrication theory, the change in film pressure affected by tooth surface wear is analyzed to study the effect of wear on contact fatigue. Finally, the influence of lubrication conditions on the interplay between tooth surface wear and contact fatigue is analyzed. In addition, an experimental fatigue study is performed and introduced into the model predictions to improve the accuracy of the proposed methodology.
