This study aimed to design a bycatch reduction device (BRD) for shrimp beam trawl, which is manufactured by flexible materials to reduce bycatch for the gear in the South Sea of Korea. The model test was carried out to understand the shape of the gear in the water and to measure the variation of flow speed due to the BRD in a circulating water channel. Catches were compared between a shrimp b...

Objectives: To carry out dynamic state analysis of asymmetrical helical gears for contact stresses using photo stress technique and suitable finite element software. Methods: Currently the Hertz equation is used to calculate which based on certain speculations. The value load transmitted by a gear may be known but whether it taken single or more pairs teeth are some assumptions thus calculated ...

Abstract The demands of high carrying capacity and low vibration gear transmission systems in aviation, aerospace, other areas are addressed by contact ratio gears with asymmetric teeth, which have a wide range potential applications. Weber energy technique is utilized to determine the stiffness spur effect law parameters researched, due paucity study on these gears. influence drive side addend...

precision forging process is widely used for the production of spur gears due to its advantages such asimproved strength and surface finish, little waste of materials and reduction in the machining time ofthe gear. an important aspect of precision forging process is the load required to perform the processsuccessfully and design the forging tools. in this research, a new kinematically admissibl...

Recently, bicycles are used as exercising machines and traffic vehicles. Planetary gear trains can be used as the transmission systems for bicycles. The purpose of this work is to propose a design methodology for the kinematic design of automatic gear transmissions with planetary gear trains for bicycles. First, applying the check list method (combining and extending methods), the design concep...

Original scientific paper This paper proposes a novel design of an 8-speed internal gear hub which consists of a distributed-flow-type planetary gear mechanism and a rotary gearshifting control mechanism. The distributed-flow-type planetary gear mechanism comprises two transmission units and one differential unit to provide eight forward gears. A clutching sequence table and a set of feasible s...

Isometric modification is proposed as a new method of axial modification of spur bevel gear. Based on the gear geometry theory and the normal meshing motion equation of gear pairs, changes of meshing points and angles are analyzed and the effect of axial modification on meshing movement of gear pairs is discussed. After that, a method of drawing spherical involute with the aid of SolidWorks sof...

This thesis focuses on reliability when testing gear efficiency and on how gear mesh efficiency can be increased without detrimental effects on the gears. Test equipment commonly used in gear research was analysed to identify important parameters for gear efficiency testing. The effect of the bearing model’s load-dependent losses on gear mesh efficiency was also investigated. Two different surf...

Older people may be advised to switch from manual to automatic gear shifting, because they may have difficulties with dividing their attention between gear shifting and other driving tasks such as perceiving other traffic participants. The question is whether older drivers show a better driving performance when using automatic gear shifting instead of manual gear shifting. Twenty young and twen...
