Study on fault diagnosis of gear transmission which is based on ADAMS

Introduced a transmission system of a new oscillation buoy ocean wave energy generation device, the system can transform the mechanical energy into electric energy. A pair of gear model was built by SOLID WORKS, the parameter is just the same as the real data, then imported the model into ADAMS. Under the same simulation parameters, two experiments were done, one engaged without failure, the other engaged with one broken tooth of drive wheels. Calculated TIME and STEPS by Shannon sampling theorem, simulated the marker point's acceleration of the drive gear, then obtain image data of time domain and frequency domain, after analyzed, found this method has a significant meaning to practice.
