基于模糊多级综合评判的齿轮故障危害度分析 by 贺朝霞, 刘更, 刘岚, 常乐浩

“…In the analysis of transmission gear fault mode,the occurrence probability of fault,serious degree and maintain ability of failure are considered.And the weight of fault factors is obtained based on experience data and AHP（Analytic Herarchy Process）method.The quantitative analysis of the gear fault criticality is realized through the fuzzy mathematics method.Furthermore,the criticality weight of the failure mode is computed by using Delphi method based on expert inquiry,then the influence of gear fault on higher-up transmission parts is obtained.The results of comparing with Risk Priority Number（RPN）method and criticality matrix diagram method show that,the result of quantitative analysis can be obtained by using fuzzy multilevel comprehensive evaluation,the otherness result can be more acquired on the basis of considering a variety of fault factors,and the support for the fault criticality evaluation is provided.Through the analysis of influence of criticality on higher-up transmission parts,the basis for overall design index distribution is provided.…”
