Abstract: Effect of flexibility of an internal gear on the quasi-static behavior of a planetary gear set is investigated. A state-of-the-art finite elements/semi-analytical nonlinear contact mechanics ...

Abstract: This paper presents results of a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study to determine the influence of certain key factors in planetary transmissions on gear stresses and planetary load ...

Abstract: In this paper, results from an experimental study on power losses of planetary gear sets are presented. The experimental setup includes a specialized test apparatus to operate a planetary gear ...

Abstract: Microgeometry optimization has become an important phase of gear design that can remarkably enhance gear performance. For spiral bevel and hypoid gears, microgeometry is typically represented by ...

Abstract: A nonlinear finite element contact mechanics model of a helical gear pair was used to study the effect of intentional tooth profile modifications on durability of helical gear pairs. Both ...

Abstract: In order to boost the fuel economy of their vehicles, automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers have been investigating a range of options from alternate vehicle propulsion ...
