Cálculo de la velocidad de desgaste abrasivo en engranajes de dientes rectos y helicoidales con perfil evolvente, con una interfaz gráfica de usuario (GUI) de Matlab.

Abstract

The present research originates from the objective of designing a software with Matlab itself that allows to calculate the abrasive wear rate of spur and helical spur gears. For this, the theoretical environment that makes up the study based on the main components such as: gears, lubrication, steel, heat treatments to sprockets and the programming carried out in the Matlab software is exposed. Subsequently, the wear calculation formulas were established that were adapted to the circumstances of the problem and based on this information formulated a software capable of calculating the abrasive wear rate of sprockets using a Matlab graphical user tool. Being able to establish the variables and build the interface, selecting two mathematical models of Archard and Kraglesky, with which the necessary variables and the usefulness of each of these were correctly identified for the calculation of the speed of wear by abrasion, in addition, the the necessary requirements to calculate the speed of abrasive wear on sprockets, giving quantitative results that through the software can be tabulated, and plotted in Excel. Thus, it is possible to meet the objectives and respond to the hypothesis, generating study conclusions for the verification of the experimental data of a research paper with the data calculated in the software for a better use of the program and for the effective determination of the variables for necessary calculations.
