It takes into account the most important Received in revised form phenomena involved in the operation of this kind of machines. Two main sources of 1 February 2010 noise and vibration can be considered: pressure and gear meshing. Fluid pressure Accepted 7 February 2010 distribution on gears, which is time-varying, is computed and included as a resultant Available online 12 February 2010 external force and torque acting on the gears. Parametric excitations due to time- Keywords: varying meshing stiffness, the tooth profile errors (obtained by a metrological analysis), External gear pumps the backlash effects between meshing teeth, the lubricant squeeze and the possibility of Mesh
