“…This figure represents the contact pressure trend versus the normalized axial position, obtained by dividing the actual axial position by the tooth width (Cuffaro et al, 2012). Pressure distributions was obtained by means of the Tjernberg model (Tjernberg, 2001b), with a 200 N·m torque and considering different tooth stiffness values, obtained for different resultant force application points described as follows: (1) nominal case, stiffness corresponding to the pitch diameter; (2) test cases 1 to 5, stiffness corresponding to those reported in Table 2. …”

Abstract:The objective of this paper is to investigate the position of the resultant force in involute spline coupling teeth due to the contact pressure distribution for both ideal and misaligned conditions. In general, spline coupling teeth are in contact all along the involute profile and the load is far from uniform along the contact line. Theoretical models available in publications consider the resultant contact force as it is applied at the pitch diameter, and this study aims to evaluate the error introduced within the confines of a common approximation environment. This analysis is carried out through using finite element method (FEM) models, considering spline couplings in both ideal and misaligned conditions. Results show that the differences between the load application diameter and pitch diameter are not very obvious in both ideal and misaligned conditions; however, this approximation becomes more important for the calculation of the tooth stiffness.

“…Models proposed in literature 3–6 demonstrated some level of improvements in capturing complicated effects of manufacturing error, parallel offset misalignment and combined loading conditions, but they were all limited to calculating only the tooth-to-tooth load sharing while failing to predict the actual load distributions and contact stresses on spline teeth. Aside from these analytical models, computational models 7–20 using finite element or boundary element methods were also commonly used in spline load distribution analysis. These computational models were superior to analytical models in terms of their capabilities and accuracy, but they required considerable computational time for each contact analysis at a single kinematic position.…”

A generalized semi-analytical load distribution model for all common types of involute spline joints is proposed. It is formulated to model clearance-fit (side-fit) involute splines with contacts happening only at the drive flanks of the spline teeth, major or minor-diameter fit splines where additional contact occurs along the top land and the root land of the external spline teeth, respectively, as well as mismatched splines where an intentional lead mismatch is introduced to initiate contact along both drive and back (coast) flanks. Using this model, load distribution and tooth-to-tooth load sharing of example major and minor diameter-fit spline joints under typical multi-directional spur and helical gear loading conditions are characterized and compared to those of the corresponding side-fit spline joint. Further, self-centralizing performance of major and minor-fit splines versus side-fit splines is quantified including its sensitivity to the radial clearance magnitude. Finally, load distribution of an example side-fit spline having various intentional mismatch magnitudes at different torque level is investigated to show that a given mismatch value is optimal at a certain design torque.

“…The mechanical behaviour of straight-sided splines and their plain fatigue and wear behaviour has received considerable attention [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Spline couplings typically have three main sources of stress concentration important for plain fatigue: There is a transition in torque and axial load distributions through the coupling and, depending on the relative torsional stiffnesses of the shafts, it is possible that the transition can occur almost entirely at one end of the coupling, thus leading to failure at the associated position.…”

The fatigue behaviour of a representative high-performance aero-engine spline coupling is investigated under test conditions designed to simulate in-service conditions. The test load cycles consist of major cycle torque and axial load, simulating maximum thrust, combined with minor cycle rotating bending moment and fluctuating torque, simulating life-limiting conditions at take-off. The objective of the study is to develop understanding of the fatigue behaviour of the coupling over a range of loading conditions, including interaction between low-cycle fatigue, fretting fatigue and fretting wear. This information is necessary for the development of fatigue and fretting-fatigue life prediction techniques. The test results are interpreted with the help of three-dimensional finite element models, which include the frictional contact between the spline teeth.
