Gear geometry was optimized for decreased transmission error in order to reduce gearbox noise. Robustness with respect to gear deviations and varying torque was considered in order to find a gear geometry giving low noise in the appropriate torque interval despite deviations from the nominal geometry due to manufacturing tolerances. Static and dynamic transmission error as well as noise and hou...

Gear box dynamics is characterised by a periodically changing stiffness and a backlash which can lead to a loss of the contact between the teeth. Due to backlash, the gear system has piecewise linear stiffness characteristics and, in consequence, can vibrate regularly or chaoticaly depending on the system parameters and the initial conditions. We examine the possibility of a nonfeedback system ...

This paper introduces the theory of cyclic statistics as a powerful tool for the diagnosis of gear faults. More precisely, a new method based on the cyclic bispectrum, a third order cyclic statistical function, is used for monitoring. This estimator furnishes a valuable means of detecting and characterising non-linear coupling effects as well as any periodic correlation between different compon...

A high efficiency special transmission decelerator is designed by scheme design, structural design, optimization design, and return difference analysis and computer simulation. Small teeth difference transmission with the first level bevel gear pair and the second level beveloid gear pair is adopted as the form of transmission in the decelerating system. Great torque and big bending moment are ...

The development of diagnostic methods for gear tooth faults in aerospace power transmission systems is an active research area being driven largely by the interests of military organisations or large aerospace organisations. In aerospace applications, the potential results of gear failure are serious, ranging from increased asset downtime to, at worst, catastrophic failure with life-threatening...

We propose algorithms for developing (1) a rigid (constrained) and (2) a exible planetary gearbox model. The two methods are compared against each other and advantages/disadvantages of each method are discussed. The rigid model (1) has gear tooth reaction forces expressed by Lagrange multipliers. The exible approach (2) is being compared with the gear tooth forces from the rigid approach, rst w...
