Abstract: An interative method has been developed for analyzing dynamic loads in a light weight basic planetary gear system. The effects of fixed, semi-floating, and fully-floating sun gear conditions ...

Abstract: A method for estimating a component’s design survivability by incorporating finite element analysis and probabilistic material properties was developed. The method evaluates design parameters through ...

Abstract: A generalized methodology to predict the fatigue life and reliability of rotating disk such as used for aircraft engine turbines and compressors is advanced. The approach incorporates the computed ...
