According to the deficiency of tooth contact analysis analysis
an improved tooth contact analysis algorithm was proposed.Based on the spatial surface engagement theory
the Enler-Rodrigues formula and the equivalent relationship between the contacted areas' shapes
the tooth contact analysis algorithm was proved.Through the equation transformation
the dimensions of the nonlinear equations for the contact points' position were decreased.The initial value was obtained regularly by the meshing equations.Taking a pair of spiral bevel gears as an example
the algorithm was proved.The results show that the complexity of initial values is decreased
the stability of the solution for nonlinear equations is enhanced
and the complex calculation of relative curvatures of the tooth surface is avoided by using the geometrical educational relationships between the geometrical parameters.
