Abstract: In this paper, influences of tooth indexing errors on load distribution and tooth load sharing of spline joints are investigated by modifying an existing semianalytical load distribution model for sidefit involute splines. ...

Abstract: Due to the lack of knowledge in terms of their flexibility and deformation, spline joints are typically assumed to be rigid in dynamic models of gearboxes, transmissions, and drivetrains. As various dynamic phenomena are ...
