Marine power rear transmission system is a constant power system under specific working condition, which relies on alternating meshing gears to transfer the movement and torque. It is difficult to accurately determine the actual thermal stress and thermal deformation for time-varying distribution using the traditional methods. Elastic structural mechanics modeling and method details of thermal expansion deformation are presented and analyzed. Both the actual reflection thermoelastic contact condition for meshing gears and the coupling effect results of the practical loading process of marine power rear transmission system carried out on alternating meshing gear surfaces are also detailed. In this article, the changes in gear meshing angles of several key meshing positions are presented. The 16 meshing positions of contact stresses and loaded deformation approach are analytically evaluated in terms of the rotation range of driving spur gear (35°) and driving helical gear (36°). The purpose of this study is to confirm the significant stress concentration areas of gear meshing in and meshing out and to obtain that the deformation amounts of gear meshing impact positions within selected zones. The aim of this article is to reach gear deformation on the basis of theoretical conception.
