The gearbox is the key component of traction drive system a high-speed train. At same time, can easily experience box housing failure due to bearing internal excitation from gear meshing and external motor torque fluctuation, wheel polygon, so on. In order analyze vibration noise gearbox, dynamic model train transmission was established under conditions time-varying stiffness error. A frequency...

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 study employed the finite element method to develop a validated theoretical model to investigate the distribution of thermal hoop stress around the teeth of a spur gear operating in a filler machine. Three cases of temperature distribution along the radius of a gear tooth were assumed and investigated. The outcome showed that the maximum effective stress occurs at the tip of the gear tooth ...

An efficient and systematic methodology for the kinematic analysis of geared robot Ž . manipulators GRMs with a jointed unit is presented. It is shown that, by decomposing mechanical transmission lines of a GRM into serially connected jointed and disjointed units, kinematic relation between local inputs and local outputs of admissible jointed units can be systematically formulated. Accordingly,...

ARTICLE INFO In many applications it is required to control a large output load using a relatively low control force. To satisfy such purposes, device like mechanical power amplifier can be used which generally gives very fast response. As per the requirement of the system, power can be instantaneously available from continuously rotating drums of mechanical power amplifier. This project will f...

This paper is devoted to the application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to the solution of the Inverse Kinematics (IK) problem for serial robot manipulators, in this study two networks were trained and compared to examine the effect of considering the Jacobian Matrix to the efficiency of the IK solution. Given the desired trajectory of the end effector of the manipulator...

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...
