Abstract: Wire exhibits considerable torsional springback after cold forming, by winding into a helical spring. This springback can be reduced by the application of a tensile pull during the winding ...

Abstract: An aerospace-quality spiral bevel gearset was analytically and experimentally rolled through mesh to investigate tooth bending stress. A nonlinear finite element model utilized multiple teeth from ...

Abstract: Uniform bolt stress (±2 percent) was obtained in a one-pass, tension-controlled, bolt-up procedure. This was done by experimentally determining elastic interaction coefficients. The coefficients ...

Abstract: A procedure is presented for performing three-dimensional stress analysis of spiral bevel gears in mesh using the finite element method. The procedure involves generating a finite element model ...

Abstract: Thin rim gears find application in high-power, lightweight aircraft transmissions. Bending stresses in thin rim spur gear tooth fillets and root areas differ from the stresses in solid gears ...
