Gear transmission error (TE) has recently gained its popularity in the field of condition monitoring. TE is defined as the deviation of the angular displacement of the driven gear with respect to that of the driving gear, modified by the gear ratio [1]. TE is thus a parameter that describes the meshing error between two gears. TE can be conveniently categorised into geometric TE (GTE), static TE (STE) and dynamic TE (DTE) [2]. GTE is obtained at low speed and low load, and represents the deviations of the tooth profiles from the ideal involute (e.g., manufacturing errors of the gear teeth and profile changes). STE is measured at low speed but high load, and also includes the effect of tooth deflections. DTE is obtained at high speed and high load and is affected by the gear drivetrain dynamics (i.e., angular vibrations due to inertial and damping forces in the drivetrain). The measurement of TE requires multi-pulse-per-rev encoders, usually installed on the unloaded ends of the input and output shafts of a gear pair, and the extraction of phase-time maps from the encoders by either time-domain interpolation methods [3] or by phase-demodulation [4]. In the literature, the term TE can be interpreted from two different perspectives. The first, which is more widely used, is the actual physical TE that exists in a gear pair, which is also often recognised as the source of gear vibration. This TE is primarily caused by geometric errors on the tooth profile and stiffness-induced deflections of the gear teeth. Consequently, faults such as wear and cracks would modify the gear tooth profile and stiffness respectively, thus leading to a change in TE. This physical interpretation of TE is also commonly applied as an input in gearbox dynamic models. Another perspective of TE is the TE signal measured and calculated using rotary encoders installed on an actual gearbox. Provided that measurements of the torsional vibration of the driving and driven gears (i.e., θ1 and θ2) are available from the encoders

It seems like you've provided a detailed overview of gear transmission error (TE), its categorization into geometric TE (GTE), static TE (STE), and dynamic TE (DTE), as well as the methods to measure TE using multi-pulse-per-rev encoders. The discussion also includes different perspectives of TE, including its actual physical existence in a gear pair, and the TE signal measured and calculated using rotary encoders installed on an actual gearbox.

Is there a specific aspect of gear transmission error or a particular question you'd like assistance with?

summerize it in 5 bullet point

  1. Gear transmission error (TE) is the deviation of the angular displacement of the driven gear with respect to the driving gear, modified by the gear ratio.

  2. TE can be categorized into geometric TE (GTE), static TE (STE), and dynamic TE (DTE), each describing different aspects of gear meshing deviations.

  3. Measurement of TE requires multi-pulse-per-rev encoders installed on the unloaded ends of the input and output shafts of a gear pair, with phase-time maps extracted from the encoders using time-domain interpolation methods or phase-demodulation.

  4. TE can be interpreted from two perspectives: the physical TE that exists in a gear pair due to geometric errors on the tooth profile and stiffness-induced deflections, and the TE signal measured and calculated using rotary encoders installed on an actual gearbox.

  5. Changes in TE can be caused by faults such as wear, cracks, or modifications in gear tooth profiles and stiffness, which can lead to variations in gear vibration and alterations in gearbox dynamic models.

I'd be happy to help you craft a PowerPoint presentation on the topic of Gear Transmission Error (TE). In order to create the slides, I'll need more specific details on the content you'd like to include. Specifically, I'll need to know the main points you want to cover, the structure of the presentation, any specific visual elements you'd like to incorporate, and whether you have any particular formatting preferences or branding guidelines to follow. Once I have that information, I can assist in creating a comprehensive presentation on TE.
