Abstract: Several mathematical models are currently available to predict the mechanical behavior of twisted wire cables and ACSR electrical conductors subjected to axisymmetric loads. The equations for each ...

Abstract: Cables, ropes, and overhead electrical conductors are complex helical wire assemblies. Several analytical models are currently available for predicting their mechanical behavior or, at least, some ...

Abstract: Stresses in spur gear teeth can be calculated by the complex potentials method, using a generalization of Hirano’s conformal mapping. Mathematical programming is used to fit the transformation ...

Abstract: Bending stresses in spur gears have been obtained analytically using the Complex Potential Method of the two-dimensional theory of elasticity and conformal mapping of the tooth profile. Effects ...

Abstract: Complex potentials have already been used to calculate analytically spur gear stresses. However, their application to the calculation of tooth flexibility is not so straightforward since displacements ...

Abstract: This paper describes a computerized version of the complex potential approach which is a comprehensive mathematical model for the stress analysis of spur gear teeth. The entire procedure is a ...

Abstract: Based on the Mindlin-Deresiewicz displacement field solution, a simple method is presented to obtain the force-displacement relationship for a contact between two elastically similar bodies. The bodies are initially pressed ...
