Dynamic response of a spur gear system with uncertain parameters

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

In this paper, we propose a new approach for taking into account uncertainties based on the projection on polynomial chaos. The new approach is used to determine the dynamic response of a spur gear system with uncertainty associated to gear system parameters. The simulation results are obtained by the polynomial chaos approach for dynamic analysis under uncertainty. The proposed approach is an efficient probabilistic tool for uncertainty propagation. It has been found to be an interesting alternative to the parametric studies. The polynomial chaos results are compared with Monte Carlo simulations.
