Condition monitoring of gears with vibration analysis and Spectrometric Oil Analysis Programs (SOAP) are widely accepted and used in the military aviation industry. Whilst the literature to date has shown the application of the Acoustic Emission (AE) technique to gearbox health monitoring still be in its infancy, there exist opportunities to develop the technique into a complementary diagnostic...

Dr. Hani Aziz Ameen* Received on :17/8/2009 Accepted on:7/1/2010 Abstract Shaft misalignment is considered as one of the common repeated problems in most rotating machineries , which leads to generate vibrations and extra dynamic loads on transmitting gears teeth, also leads to nonuniformity in distribution of applied load along the meshing tooth face by being concentrated on one side of tooth ...

Along with the recent growth of industrial X-ray computerized tomography (CT) scanning systems, it is now possible to non-destructively acquire the entire meshes of assemblies. This technology has the potential to realize an advanced inspection process of an assembly, such as estimation of their assembly errors or examinations of their dynamic behaviors in motion using a model reflecting real a...

Gearing is one of the most effective methods for transmitting power and rotary motion from the source to its application with or without change of speed or direction. The bending and surface strength of the gear tooth are considered to be one of the main contributors for the failure of the gear in a gear set. Thus, determination of stresses has become popular as an area of research on gears to ...
