Abstract Infinitely variable transmission (IVT) is a system which delivers the ratio between two turning elements to a continuous (non-discrete) variation (including zero). This article uses Solidworks software to build and simulate a cam-based IVT system. There are two identical units in the system under examination. Each unit comprises a cam with an oscillating slot connection that swings on a hinge and can be vertically shifted by changing the transmission rate. This modifier can be a power screw or a hydraulic ram. In addition, a grooved wheel and followers or an actuator are included in the system units. The raised wheels swing rotating movement, such that they are coupled by a single-way clutch to the output shaft (ratchet) to move the output shaft one way. During the performance research, cam shapes are considered and examined inside the mechanism. a mixture of the unchanging speed and 1-5 polynomial shapes, used for the current investigation and tailored for The results produced from the simulation generally reveal the theoretical results expected in accordance with the layout of the current IVT system. For all parts in these units, the findings imply a uniform velocity while each unit is powered. In this investigation, nevertheless, the ratchets used cause remarkable fluctuations in the angular speed of the output axis. Further research is therefore urgently needed in the choice and investigation of more efficient ratchets.

We establish an SIS (susceptible-infected-susceptible) epidemic model, in which the travel between patches and the periodic transmission rate are considered. As an example, the global behavior of the model with two patches is investigated. We present the expression of basic reproduction ratioR0and two theorems on the global behavior: ifR0< 1 the disease-free periodic solution is globally asymptotically stable and ifR0> 1, then it is unstable; ifR0> 1, the disease is uniform persistence. Finally, two numerical examples are given to clarify the theoretical results.

In the last few decades, power-split infinitely variable transmission (IVT) systems have attracted considerable attention as they ensure high driving comfort with high total efficiencies, especially in off-highway vehicles and agricultural machines. In this study, a novel power-split-input-coupled IVT system is developed. The effects of various dynamic parameters such as power flow and Willis transmission ratio on the mechanical efficiency of the systems are investigated. Kinematic analysis of the new system has been carried out. In addition power flow equations are derived as functions of the power that flows through the infinitely variable unit (IVU). The results indicate that the main parameters, which are strictly related to mechanical efficiency are the power and torque flows through the IVU.

Theoretical Results

A delayed ecoepidemic model with ratio-dependent transmission rate has been proposed in this paper. Effects of the time delay due to the gestation of the predator are the main focus of our work. Sufficient conditions for local stability and existence of a Hopf bifurcation of the model are derived by regarding the time delay as the bifurcation parameter. Furthermore, properties of the Hopf bifurcation are investigated by using the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out in order to validate our obtained theoretical results.

Oscillatory Character

An infinitely variable transmission (IVT), based on the use of one-way action clutches, belonging to the family of ratcheting drives is described. The mechanical foundations and numerical simulations carried out along this research envisage a plausible approach to its use as gear-box in general mechanical industry and its prospective use in automobiles and self-propelled vehicles. The system includes one-way clutches—free wheels or overrunning clutches—and two epicyclic gear systems. The output velocity, with oscillatory character, common to the ratcheting drives systems, presents a period similar to that produced by alternative combustion motors, making this transmission compatible with automobile applications. The variation of the transmission is linear in all the working range. The kinematics operating principles behind this IVT is described followed by a numerical simulation of the dynamic analysis. A prototype has been constructed and tested to assess its mechanical efficiency for different reduction ratios. The efficiency values predicted by theory agree with those experimentally obtained on a bench-rig testing equipment.

Infinitely Variable Transmission

The Cam-based Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) is a new type of ratcheting IVT based on a three dimensional cam and follower system which provides unique characteristics such as generating specific functional speed ratio outputs including dwells, for a constant velocity input. This paper presents several mechanisms and design approaches used to improve the torque and speed capacity of this unique transmission. A compact, lightweight, and capable differential mechanism based on a cord and pulley system is developed to double the number of followers in contact with the cam at any time, thereby reducing the contact stress between the followers and the cam surface considerably. A kinematic model governing the motion of this differential is developed and a few experimental results from the prototype are presented, showing an overall increase in performance including a smooth output, a wide gear range, and the ability to shift under load. Plans for future improvements to the design, including an inverted external cam mechanism, is also presented along with the expected performance gains.
