Abstract: nominal right-to-left stagger angle, the stagger angle deviation (error) from the nominal stagger angle, and axial gear supporting conditions. On the experimental side, a double-helical gear test setup proposed earlier (Kang, M. R., and Kahraman, A., 2015...

Abstract: Planet-to-planet load sharing is a major design and manufacturing tolerancing issue in planetary gear sets. Planetary gear sets are advantageous over their countershaft alternatives in many aspects, provided that each ...

Abstract: In this study, a crack initiation life prediction methodology for the tooth bending fatigue of hypoid gears is proposed. This methodology employs a previously developed finiteelement based hypoid gear root stress model ...

Abstract: In this study, the wear depths under different loads, speeds, lubricant temperatures, and surface roughness amplitudes are experimentally determined using a twindisk rolling contact setup. A point contact wear model combining ...

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 ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the influences of tooth indexing errors on dynamic factors of spur gears. An experimental study is performed using root strain measurements to (i) establish baseline dynamic behavior of gears having ...

Abstract: A modeling methodology is proposed to predict loaddependent (mechanical) power loss of cylindrical roller bearings under combined radial and moment loading with focus on planetary gear set planet bearings. This methodology ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation of spur gear behavior was conducted with the aim of quantifying the impact of lubrication methods and conditions on the power losses and contact fatigue lives. Variations of dip and jet-lubrication ...

Abstract: A load distribution model of planetary gear sets presented is capable of simulating planetary gear sets having component- and system-level design variations such as component supporting conditions, different kinds of gear ...
