Helical gears are commonly used in industry as they have advantages of higher power density, quieter operation etc., compared to spur gears. Conventional gear design is based on various design criteria, including durability and bending strength load rating. In recent times, fracture failure modes are gaining importance in addition to conventional failure modes. Stresses due to operating fatigue...

Natural frequencies and dynamic response of a spur gear sector are investigated using a two dimensional finite element model that offers significant advantages for dynamic gear analyses. The gear teeth are analyzed for different operating speeds. A primary feature of this modeling is determination of mesh forces using a detailed contact analysis for each time step as the gears roll through the ...

Lack of representative theoretical models for wear phenomena in gears causes difficulties in their useful lifetime prediction even under controlled operational conditions. Critical operating parameters such as loading and lubrication affect the wear process in a very complex manner and lead the theoretical modeling to an imperfect zone of assumptions. Complexities in gear wear mathematical mode...

In this paper the effects of gear contact force shuttling (axial movement of the resultant contact force point of application) are discussed as an important excitation which is seldom included in gear modelling. The main phenomena which generate this excitation are discussed. Two formulations are proposed for multibody models, where computational efficiency must be kept high in order to perform...

Efficient transmissions systems are key to producing competitive motor vehicles that have a smaller environmental impact. Gears are the main components in vehicle transmissions and although they are already highly efficient, there is still room for improvement. In this study, the focus falls on the lubricant used to create separating films between gears and to dissipate heat. When driving, the ...

This research is motivated by optimal designing of bevel gear pair for transmitting more power between shafts in the machine tool without noise and without lubricating oil. In this research, the parameters such as power, efficiency, weight and centre distance have been optimized since the parameters are the central part of the gear problem. The sub problem of reducing the noise, running without...

The transform relation between the meshing position and rotation angle of a cylindrical gear pair is firstly derived according to the theory of gear meshing. Then the technique of building the assembly model of a cylindrical gear pair at specified meshing position in ANSYS is researched. On this basis, a new method to perform static contact analysis of cylindrical gear at any meshing location i...

We study three dimensional parametric agile design of gears and related software platforms in terms of: parameterization, modularization, and the software being easy to use, expand and maintain. We base our study on SolidWorks platform, aiming to generate 3-D solid models of gears automatically in terms of: i) inputting parameters to improve the modeling speed, ii) build up foundations for stru...

Tooth root bending fatigue performance is the primary consideration in gear design. To investigate difference between tooth performances of shot peened and base material, TM210A steel gears double-tooth pulsating experiment with a stress ratio 0.05 was carried out on experimental by group method staircase method. The life different levels conditional limit under 1 × 107 cycles were obtained, S-...

As the main drive components of the automobile transmission, the performance of gear shaft plays an important role on transmission performance.
