Abstract
Gear motion of gearboxes can be calculated. A system includes a gear box, a sensor, and at least one data processor. The gear box includes a structure with a plurality of gears. The sensor is operatively coupled to the gear box and is configured to detect an operational parameter associated with a first gear of the gear box. The at least one data processor is configured to: receive, from the sensor, data characterizing the detected operational parameter associated with the gear box; generate a mesh pair matrix for the plurality of gears based on data characterizing the structure of the gear box; determine, from the mesh pair matrix, a calculated value of the operational parameter of the first gear of the plurality of gears; determine, based on the calculated value and the detected value of the operational parameter, an operational metric of the first gear; and provide the operational metric.
