Abstract: This paper presents a study on the effect of gear constraint on the whirl of simple-supported pinion shafts with and without overhung masses. A special tester capable of simulating the different ...

Abstract: This paper presents a review of some illustrative examples of the use of optimization techniques in the design of mechanical elements and systems. The cases cited include gears, bearings, dynamic ...

Abstract: There are many practical situations where resonances and instabilities in pinion-gear systems are difficult to predict in the design stage due to the unreliability of estimating the mesh stiffness ...

Abstract: The parameters influencing high dynamic magnifications and instabilities in multiple-reduction geared systems are investigated in this study. These factors include the effect of external excitations, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a procedure for the automated selection of the configuration of stepped prismatic bars placed between given hammers and anvils to produce maximum force amplification or ...

Abstract: This study deals with an experimental investigation of a cylindrical roller bearing having annular rollers. Comparisons are made with a solid roller bearing having the same configuration and ...

Abstract: The study reported in this paper is undertaken to investigate the effect of some of the physical properties of lubricants on the contact temperature and wear in heavily loaded Hertzian Contacts ...
