Abstract: In the context of a purely mechanical rate-type theory of plasticity, a special set of constitutive equations is discussed. A method [1,2] of characterizing strain-hardening behavior is utilized ...

Abstract: Solutions to the governing equations of a spur gear transmission model, developed in Part I, are presented. Factors affecting the dynamic load are identified. It is found that the dynamic load ...

Abstract: A model of a simple parallel-shaft, spur-gear transmission is presented. The model is developed to simulate dynamic loads in power transmissions. Factors affecting these loads are identified. ...
