Permanent-magnetic gears are magneto-mechanical devices that are widely used to replace the ordinary mechanical gears and to transmit torque without any mechanical contact. The transmitted torque is one of the most important properties of magnetic gears. The torque characteristics of radial type permanent magnetic gears are investigated using ANSYS Program. The Maxwell stress tensor technique i...

Recent emphasis on dipolarization fronts (DFs) has led to the impression that DFs play a significant role in bringing magnetic flux to the inner magnetosphere during substorms. In this work, we investigate the amount of magnetic flux transport associated with DFs by examining the frozen-in field line condition (FIC) for previously reported DF events. A study of 18 DF cases shows that the FIC do...

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...

The purpose of the current study was to develop and validate an automatic algorithm for classification of cross-country (XC) ski-skating gears (G) using Smartphone accelerometer data. Eleven XC skiers (seven men, four women) with regional-to-international levels of performance carried out roller skiing trials on a treadmill using fixed gears (G2left, G2right, G3, G4left, G4right) and a 950-m tr...

Designers have tried for many years to apply noncircular gears in automatic machines and instruments. The obstacle was the lack of effective methods of generation of noncircular gears similar to those applied for the generation of circular gears. However, researchers have continued the investigation of application of noncircular gears – see the earlier works by Burmester (Burmester, 1888), Golb...

This thesis focuses on reliability when testing gear efficiency and on how gear mesh efficiency can be increased without detrimental effects on the gears. Test equipment commonly used in gear research was analysed to identify important parameters for gear efficiency testing. The effect of the bearing model’s load-dependent losses on gear mesh efficiency was also investigated. Two different surf...

Locally sustainable resource extraction activities, at times, transform into ecologically detrimental enterprises. Understanding such transitions is a primary challenge for conservation and management of many ecosystems. In marine systems, over-exploitation of small-scale fisheries creates problems such as reduced biodiversity and lower catches. However, long-term documentation of how governanc...

gears are one of the most critical components in power transmission system of an automobile and also many rotating machinery. many studies have been conducted on optimum gear design. the main objective is to design different aluminium metal matrix composite spur gears before and after optimization. aluminium metal matrix material composites are preferred mostly due to their low density. also th...

| Gear theory is reexamined and we nd optimal shapes for gears. As optimality criteria, we allow: (1) minimal frictional losses (highest eeciency) assuming linear law of friction or (2) uniform maximum stress (it will wear out slowly and last the longest) assuming Hertzian contacts or (3) uniform maximal temperature, assuming we are in a high power limit in which all heat is removed by the lubr...
