Keywords: Gear fault diagnosis Virtual prototype Wavelet AR model PCA a b s t r a c t Gear systems are an essential element widely used in a variety of industrial applications. Since approximately 80% of the breakdowns in transmission machinery are caused by gear failure, the efficiency of early fault detection and accurate fault diagnosis are therefore critical to normal machinery operations. ...

Planetary Gear Trains are extensively used for the power transmission. Large reduction in a small volume is possible with planetary gear trains. High efficiency – 95% per stage is common in planetary gear trains. For the automation of car parking systems helical gear box is used. But requirements of the gear box of these kind shall be compact in size and should have high efficiency. For these r...

This paper deals with the study and comparison of passive and active landing gear system of  the aircraft and dynamic responses due to runway irregularities while the aircraft is taxying. The dynamic load and vibration caused by the unevenness of runway will result in airframe fatigue, discomfort of passengers and the reduction of the pilot’s ability to control the aircraft. One of the objectiv...

Currently, most automobiles have automatic transmission systems. The gear-shifting strategy used to generate shift patterns in transmission systems plays an important role in improving the performance of vehicles. However, conventional transmission systems have a fixed type of shift map, so it may not be enough to provide an efficient gear-shifting pattern to satisfy the demands of driver. In t...

The paper aims at the complex situation of the tractor field operation and adopts the gear shift rule of two parameters to control the six gear shift of the tractor. Using the artificial neural network chip the model number of which is ZISC036 and the computer on slice the model number of which is PIC17C42 establishes the controller of the radial basis function artificial neural network-RBFANN....

It is very difficult to obtain perfect analytical solutions of differential equations of gear system dynamics. The dynamic model which describes the torsional vibration behaviors of gear system has been introduced accurately in this paper. The differential equation of gear system nonlinear dynamics exhibiting combined nonlinearity influence such as time-varying stiffness, tooth backlash and dyn...

Spur gear wears either due to rubbing action between the meshed gears or by the occurrence of unwanted elements like dust particles, metal fragments, etc. which reduces its efficiency and service life. It is always a challenging task to determine the remaining life of a component or the strength of a component once wear has occurred on teeth surface. This paper presents an application of revers...

Bottom trawls are a globally used fishing gear that physically disturb the seabed and kill non-target organisms, including those that are food for the targeted fish species. There are indications that ensuing changes to the benthic invertebrate community may increase the availability of food and promote growth and even fisheries yield of target fish species. If and how this occurs is the subjec...
