A procedure to build up a dynamical model of the gearbox with spur involute mesh is being described. The main attention is paid to the design technology of the cylindrical bodies elastic contact models. To track geometry of contact implicit equations of algebraic/transcendental or differential-algebraic type are being used. At the same time dynamical models of the bodies involved, gearwheels an...

A diagnostic tool for detecting damage to spur gears was developed. Two different measurement technologies, wear debris analysis and vibration, were integrated into a health monitoring system for detecting surface fatigue pitting damage on gears. This integrated system showed improved detection and decision-making capabilities as compared to using individual measurement technologies. This diagn...

In aerospace positioning actuators, gear efficiencies of 85% as well as breakout forces as high as 50% of the stall load of the actuator are observed at very low temperature conditions. Due to the low efficiency and high loading, stiction in these actuators is common which can lead to limit cycles or problems with controlling the actuators. To be able to correctly predict and assess these effec...

This paper presents design and torque analysis in various types of magnetic gear with different magnetic materials and air gap. This type of gear offer both high speed and high torque required for drive applications. In the proposed gear analysis the low speed side is connected to prime mover and high speed side is connected to load, suitable for wind power, automobile applications and group dr...
