Abstract: This paper presents an analytic method for the determination of the gear ratios of an epicyclic-type transmission mechanism for a given set of speed ratios. For the transmission mechanism with ...

Abstract: The detection of embedded structure is one of important steps in the structural synthesis of planetary gear trains. The purpose of this paper is to develop a computer program for the automatic ...

Abstract: This paper presents a systematic algorithm for the automatic analysis of the kinematic structure of planetary gear trains with any number of degrees of freedom. The canonical displacement graphs ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present an efficient methodology for the design of six-speed Ravigneaux-type automatic transmissions based on the concepts of basic gear ratios and speed ratio ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to propose a new graph representation to represent the kinematic structure of a planetary spur-gear train efficiently. Based on the graph representation, the kinematic ...
