Original scientific paper This paper proposes a novel design of an 8-speed internal gear hub which consists of a distributed-flow-type planetary gear mechanism and a rotary gearshifting control mechanism. The distributed-flow-type planetary gear mechanism comprises two transmission units and one differential unit to provide eight forward gears. A clutching sequence table and a set of feasible s...

Theoretical and experimental investigation of wear during coupling in internal gears coated with various polymeric coating materials was performed in this study. In the theoretical part of the study, Archards’ wear formulation was adapted to internal gears and wear behavior in various conditions was determined. Moreover, a fatigue and wear testing apparatus having similar working principle with...

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...

many studies have been done on hybrid vehicles in the past few years. the full hybrid vehicles need a large number of batteries creating up to 300 (v) to meet the required voltage of electric motor. the size and weight of the batteries cause some problems. this research investigates the mild hybrid vehicle. this vehicle includes a small electric motor and a high power internal combustion engine...

Abstract This paper presents a numerical modeling approach for investigating crescent‐type internal gear pumps (CIGPs) considering radial micromotions of both gears. The couples lumped parameter pressure solver on the bulk fluid domain, with transient computational dynamics film simulator based gap geometries solved from loading forces. Simulation results commercial unit shows that wide range o...

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...
