Tooth Fillet Stresses of Gear with Thin rim : 2nd report, Approximation Formulae for Tooth Fillet Stresses

Differential Diagnosis of Spall versus Cracks in the Gear Tooth Fillet Region

This paper presents a technique to differentially diagnose two localized gear tooth faults: a spall and a crack in the gear tooth fillet region. These faults could have very different prognoses, but existing diagnostic techniques only indicate the presence of local tooth faults without being able to differentiate between a spall and a crack. The effects of spalls and cracks on the behavior/resp...

Influence of Addendum Modification Factor on Root Stresses in Normal Contact Ratio Asymmetric Spur Gears

Tooth root crack is considered as one of the crucial causes of failure in the gearing system and it occurs at the tooth root due to an excessive bending stress developed in the root region. The modern power transmission gear drives demand high bending load capacity, increased contact load capacity, low weight, reduced noise and longer life. These subsequent conditions are satisfied by the aid o...

Dynamic yield stresses of glasses: asymptotic formulae

The stationary, shear rate dependent flow curves of yielding glasses are discussed within a mode coupling theory approach. Asymptotic formulae for the shear stress at the transition point are obtained that take the form of generalized Hershel–Bulkeley constitutive equations, and enable one to find dynamical yield stresses by extrapolation. (Some figures in this article are in colour only in the...

Optimal Modifications of Gear Tooth Surfaces

62 Management Summary In this paper a new method for the introduction of optimal modifications into gear tooth surfaces—based on the optimal corrections of the profile and diameter of the head cutter, and optimal variation of machine tool settings for pinion and gear finishing—is presented. The goal of these tooth modifications is the achievement of a more favorable load distribution and reduce...
