Abstract: This paper deals with the development of a generalized dynamic factor for spur and helical gears operating away from system resonances. The experimental results of the tests reported in the ...

Abstract: This paper describes a comprehensive test program for the investigation of the influence of errors and variations in mesh stiffness on the peak stresses developed in spur and helical gears. ...

Abstract: A procedure for computing static transmission errors and tooth load sharing was developed for low and high contact ratio internal and external spur gears. A suitable optimization algorithm was ...

Abstract: Some theoretical developments are presented, which lead to approximate analytical results on quasi-static transmission errors valid for low and high contact ratio spur and helical gears. Based ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a simple model which computes the deflection of the base of wide face width gear teeth. The model was developed using the results of numerous finite ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the design of spur gears that have minimum transmission error and are insensitive to manufacturing variance. We address two stages of design: (1) generation of candidate ...

Abstract: Vibration and debris monitoring methods are being increasingly used to detect gear tooth breakage. In this paper an alternate method of detecting gear tooth cracking is investigated. It is based ...

Abstract: The stiffness of a spur gear tooth mesh controls load sharing in an operating gearset as well as vibratory properties which further dictate fatigue resistance and gear noise. A spur gear mesh ...

Abstract: A finite element model of a geared rotor system on flexible bearings has been developed. The model includes the rotary inertia of shaft elements, the axial loading on shafts, flexibility and ...
