In this study, the damping mechanism at the interface of the mating spur gear teeth is investigated. The dynamic behaviour of a spur gear pair is represented by a two Degree-of-Freedom (DOF) nonlinear model with the damping provided by the instantaneous tribological behaviour of the tooth contacts. The shear stress distributions along the tooth surfaces are incorporated with the dynamic model t...

Cylindrical gears have a wide range of applications in the manufacturing industry because of their advantages. And it is of great significance to study the design techniques and optimization methods of cylindrical gears. In this paper, parametric primary design of single-stage helical gear drive is discussed. And parametric design of the cylindrical gear is carried out by using optimized design...

Since there are backlash friction and time-varying stiffness, the characteristics of gear pair has strong nonlinearity. When a gear has faults such as pitting, spalling and tooth breakage, there are often some nonlinear characteristics as super-harmonics or sub-harmonics along with vibration signal. These characteristics will cause some difficulty for fault diagnostics, so it is necessary to st...

Original scientific paper The relationships between the existence of gear teeth cracks as a cause and symptoms emerging as housing vibrations that can be detected with signals measured was investigated numerically and experimentally. Experimental measurements on one-stage gear drives have been carried out involving gears built in with different notch length in tooth root. Signals measured as ac...

Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) is one of the few technologies that will help in reducing both maintenance and operational costs, while improving the overall safety of an aircraft. It also helps in moving away from conservative design philosophies. Hence IVHM is increasingly being adopted in various aircraft programs. IVHM requires a multi-disciplinary approach bringing together the...

A dynamic model of multiple-stage planetary gear train composed of a two-stage planetary gear train and a one-stage parallel axis gear is proposed to be used in wind driven generator to analyze the influence of revolution speed and mesh error on dynamic load sharing characteristic based on the lumped parameter theory. Dynamic equation of the model is solved using numerical method to analyze the...

Rich and multifaceted domain specific specification languages like the Autonomic System Specification Language (ASSL) help to design reliable systems with self-healing capabilities. The GEAR game-based Model Checker has been used successfully to investigate properties of the ESA ExoMars Rover in depth. We show here how to enable GEAR’s game-based verification techniques for ASSL via systematic ...
