    Intelligence Modeling of the Transient Asperity Temperatures in Meshing Spur Gears
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Atan, Ebubekir; Özdemir, Serhan
    Temperature rise in the contact zone of meshing gears is a serious problem in gear design. The temperature rise on lubricated surfaces may result in the significant decrease on the material strength and lubricant viscosity which reduces the film thickness, causing solid to solid contact. The equations and the evaluations of the rise in temperature were given in [Proc. VDI Berichte 2 (1665) (2002) 615-626] and reiterated in this paper briefly. The data from [Proc. VDI Berichte 2 (1665) (2002) 615-626] are used to establish an artificial intelligence model where a multi layer feedforward neural network has been employed. The model accepts surface roughness, gear ratio, horsepower and the number of teeth as input variables, and outputs calculated pinion surface asperity temperatures. The aim of the present work is to provide a straightforward and simple way to compute the asperity temperature rise for a given set of variables, R-square value for the computed temperature values proves the method satisfactory.

    On the Prediction of the Design Criteria for Modification of Contact Stresses Due To Thermal Stresses in the Gear Mesh
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Atan, Ebubekir
    The mechanism of surface failure due to temperature rise is a very important problem in gear design. Thermal considerations have received considerable attention from the gear researchers but only for scoring failures when the destruction of lubrication film occurs as a result of temperature rise. In spite of the wealth of literature on this subject, this problem is not fully analyzed. The objectives of this paper are to consider the mechanisms of thermal stresses and the thermal cycling in contact zone, during the gear mesh. This research has been conducted for the first point of contact based on consideration of transient heat transfer, elastohydrodynamic lubrications, and surface roughness and gear material. A procedure presented in this paper evaluating the stresses (thermal and mechanical) and predicting the design criteria for modifying the contact stresses due to thermal stresses. The effect of the material, oil film thickness, surface roughness and geometric operating parameters on modification parameter is illustrated. Also the effects of a load on the temperature rise and the modification parameters are evaluated.
