A study of the influence of ribs shape on the gear transmission housing vibroactivity

The paper presents the results of model studies aimed at reducing the vibroactivity of the toothed gear housing. The effect was analyzed of the shape of additional ribs on changes of the forms of vibration of the upper housing plate and on its vibroactivity. Simulations were conducted using the Fini...

Description
Summary:The paper presents the results of model studies aimed at reducing the vibroactivity of the toothed gear housing. The effect was analyzed of the shape of additional ribs on changes of the forms of vibration of the upper housing plate and on its vibroactivity. Simulations were conducted using the Finite Element Method (FEM). Based on the studies performed, the shape of ribs with dimensions ensuring a reduction of vibroactivity by several dB was determined, with a minor increase of the housing weight.
