Contact stress reliability analysis based on first order second moment for variable hyperbolic circular arc gear
Abstract
Aiming at the contact strength reliability of variable hyperbolic circular arc gear, a reliability analysis method for contact strength of variable hyperbolic circular arc gear based on Kriging model and advanced first-order and second-moment algorithm is proposed. Kriging model was used to establish the limit state equation of the contact stress reliability analysis of variable hyperbolic circular arc gear, and the advanced first-order second-moment method was used to analyze the contact stress reliability of variable hyperbolic circular arc gear based on the limit state equation of the contact stress. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, a Markov Chain Monte Carlo reliability analysis method based on Important Sampling was proposed. Markov Chain and Important Sampling were exploited to improve the accuracy of contact reliability analysis based on Monte Carlo method for variable hyperbolic circular arc gear. The comparison between the analysis results of Markov Chain Monte Carlo with Important Sampling method and first order second moment shows that it is feasible to analyze the reliability of variable hyperbolic circular arc gear by first-order second-moment method.
