Abstract

To investigate the impact of laser surface texture on the dynamic performance of gears, modal analysis was conducted on both ordinary gears and laser surface-textured gears. A high-precision cylindrical gear model was established in Pro/E. MSC.Nastran was employed to analyze the modal characteristics of laser surface textured gears. Modal analysis was performed to calculate their first 10 natural frequencies and vibration modes of gears. The simulation results indicate that, in comparison to ordinary gears, laser surface-textured gears exhibited smaller maximum amplitudes for each order. Furthermore, the natural frequency of laser surface-textured gears had significantly decreased, and its trend was more stable. These findings suggest that laser surface texture can effectively enhance the dynamic characteristics of gears, thereby improving their fatigue strength and reliability.
