The spline joints transmit torque from shafts to rotors by multiple contact surfaces. The joint's mechanical system is, therefore, undetermined, i.e. the number of contact points is much larger than the number of restricted degrees of freedom. Thus, the actual load distribution is greatly influenced by the joints elements elastic properties and their geometrical errors and surface profile. In this paper, an analytical and experimental study for the load distribution on the in joints length caused by the finite rigidity of the joints elements is presented. |
