Abstract: The coupled translation-rotation vibratory response of hypoid geared rotor system due to loaded transmission error excitation is studied by employing a generalized 3-dimensional dynamic model. The ...

Abstract: A mathematical model of a horizontal wind turbine drivetrain is developed by applying the flexible multibody dynamics theory based on the Lagrange formulation. The proposed model accounts for ...

Abstract: It is with great pleasure that we introduce this issue of the Journal of Mechanical Design entirely dedicated to the Design of Direct Contact Mechanisms. This is a first for JMD both as an ...

Abstract: A direct hybrid adaptive approach based on the Lyapunov stability theorem is proposed for performing active vibration control of a rotational gear pair subject to multiple-harmonic, transmission ...

Abstract: A synthesized gear mesh and dynamic model assuming line contact that is derived from a set of manufacturing parameters is formulated for analyzing the beveloid gear mesh-coupling mechanism. Using ...

Abstract: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a powerful medical diagnostic tool. Unfortunately, the loud sound produced during scanning is unpleasant, potentially harmful to patients, and may limit imaging ...

Abstract: Powertrain noise is a major component of vehicle interior noise and thus has a significant effect on the overall sound quality. It is typically dominated by harmonics in the lower audible ...
