scope:
An experimental and analytical study of spiral bevel gears operating in an aerospace environment has been performed. Tests were conducted within a closed loop test stand at 537 kW (720 hp) and 14400 rpm. The effects of various operating conditions on spiral bevel gear steady state and transient temperature are presented. A three-dimensional analysis of the thermal behavior was conducted using a nonlinear finite element analysis computer code. The analysis was compared to the experimental results. The results agreed within 10 percent.
