Abstract: The geometric design, meshing simulation, and stress analysis of pure rolling rack and pinion mechanisms are presented. Both the pinion and the rack are based on the active design of the meshing line to provide pure rolling ...

Abstract: A new finite element model for stress analysis of gear drives is proposed. Tie-surface constraints are applied at each tooth of the gear model to obtain meshes that can be independently defined: a finer mesh at contact ...

Abstract: Reconstruction of gear tooth surfaces from point clouds obtained by noncontact metrology machines constitutes a promising step forward not only for a fast gear inspection but also for reverse engineering and virtual testing ...
