On the Existence of Self-Excited Vibration in Thin Spur Gears: A Theoretical Model for the Estimation of Damping by the Energy Method

The gear is a cyclic symmetric structure, and each tooth is subjected to a periodic mesh force. These mesh forces have the same phase difference tooth by tooth, which can excite gear vibrations. The mechanism of additional axial force caused by gear bending is shown and examined, which can significa...
