Mechanical Engineering Splines Splined Joint Load Distribution Gears Splined joints are commonly used to transmit rotary motion from a shaft to machine elements such as gears. While computationally efficient spline load distribution models have recently been proposed, there is no validated model of a spline due to lack of high-fidelity experimental data. Accordingly, this study aims to (i) establish an extensive experimental database on load distributions of splined joints subject to gear loading conditions and (ii) assess the accuracy of the spline load distribution model of Hong et al. (2014) through direct comparisons of its predictions to experimental measurements.On the experimental side, a quasi-static, spline-specific test setup is designed, fabricated, and instrumented. A test matrix covering various loading conditions is executed in order to compile an extensive spline load distribution database. The modeling effort centers around expanding the model of Hong et al. (2014) by adding a new root stress prediction module.The experimental data illustrates the cyclic nature of loads and resultant stresses on spline teeth caused by rotation of the spline teeth in relation to the gear mesh that loads the splined joint. A nonlinear relationship between torque applied and resultant stress is revealed, as well as the relationship between the location of maximum stress along the face width and the amount of lead crown modification applied. Through correlations to the experimental results, the model is shown to be accurate; it captures several unique effects of spur and helical gear loading conditions. 2016-09-06 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1460908970 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1460908970 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
