Abstract
One of the primary sources of noise and vibration in automobiles is gearboxes. Shafts, gears, and bearings are the main causes of noise and vibration in vehicle gearboxes. Various studies have reported that vibrations’ root cause is bearing excitation. Besides bearing fatal defects or extreme structure resonance amplification, gear mesh is the primary source of high-frequency vibration and noise, even in newly built units. Gear damage detection is frequently crucial in automotive gearboxes and vehicle safety. Furthermore, vibrations caused by shaft imbalances, shaft misalignments, and other factors can cause noise and vibrations in the drivetrain's transfer path. In addition, the vibration of an automobile gearbox is closely related to poor design, construction quality, and production accuracy. This paper reviewed previous research and methods on car gearboxes for conventional vehicles. It was obvious that frequency analysis and order analysis were commonly used in noise and vibration analysis on car gearboxes. Envelope analysis is usually used to analyze bearing faults. Finally, rolling-element bearing diagnostic techniques were also reviewed.
