Time-varying meshing stiffness (TVMS) provides significant information about the health of gear systems. Tooth spalling will change the TVMS. Considering the contact state of gear pair, the purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of tooth surface spalling on the TVMS of helical gears. Firstly, the meshing stiffness analysis algorithm of helical gear pair with tooth surface spalling is proposed, based on the potential energy method, slicing method and numerical integration formula. Then the influence of different spalling parameters on the TVMS of helical gear pair is analysed by considering spalling length, width and the oblique cylinder bottom shape. Finally, the results show that the contact line falls into the defect area, the spalling has the most significant effect on the stiffness. The influence of oblique cylinder shape at the bottom of spalling is mainly affected after the contact line passes through the spalling area. This study improve the theoretical basis for spalling fault of helical geared mesh.
