In this paper, a numerical computer software based on the Finite Prism Method, is proposed in order to design external cylindrical spur gears with a web. It enables computing load sharing, pressure distribution, meshing stiffness and 3D tooth fillet stresses. The software is generally used during the detailed design for optimizing gear meshing. The software is also used to quantify the influences of web design parameters. The process is based on a statistical method: experimental design, that permits studying the influence of parameters. Thus, a simple formula was found in order to estimate the maximum principal stress in the tooth root. The results of the formula were compared with those found in the bibliography. The formula can be useful during the preliminary design for predimensioning webbed spur gears in design department.

Aerospace applications require special procedures for component design and manufacturing. Spur gears of different designs, because of their simpler geometries, are used in vital units-transmissions of helicopters and alike aerospace vehicles. In this study, performances of various profile designs of previously researched low and high contact ratio spur gears with some realistic design parameters are studied. Effects of the realistic parameters of variable tooth pair stiffness, relief shape, and adjacent pitch error on Transmission Error (TE), tooth loads and root stresses are presented; composition of these parameters determines the efficiency of the gearbox assembly. Detail of minimization of tooth root stress through optimized/proper design of relief is described. More comprehensive comparison of the gear tooth profile design cases is done to be able to guide aerospace transmission designers for practical applications with realistic parameters for each of the design cases. A preference order is done among the design cases, depending on effect of some design parameters on the results such as tooth loads, tooth root stresses, TE curves and peak-to-peak TE values.

A comparison among different approaches of the meshing stiffness of spur gears has been carried out. The influence of each one on the load sharing, and subsequently on the determinant tooth-root and contact stresses, has also been studied. Equations for the evolution of the meshing stiffness along the path of contact according to all these formulations are also provided.

The article discusses the process of designing the running system of a rail vehicle using CAD and CAM tools as the solutions supporting the process. It describes the particular stages of design taking its final shape: from a preliminary design, through a detailed design, ending with the stage of production. Each stage includes a presentation of how CAD and CAM tools are used to support design engineers in their practice. Keywords: running system, design, CAD, CAM

The main objective of this study is to quantify the influence of the deformation of the rim of an internal gear on the meshing stiffness and the stress distribution in tooth fillets. The 3D model used is based on a method derived from the Finite Prism Method. Tooth bending effects and contact deformations are processed simultaneously. Scientific use of the software has resulted in formulating an equation to calculate the maximal tension stress in the tooth root. This formula has been obtained by using the statistical design of experiment method.

This paper deals with face gear design. The goal is to propose a simple formula for predicting the width of the wheel as a function of the main design parameters. A specific software was used to achieve this goal. This numerical tool is able to simulate the geometry and the quasistatic loaded behavior of a face gear. The statistical method used for analyzing the influence of data is described: The design of experiments leads to a simple regression model taking into account the influential parameters and their couplings. In the last part of this paper, the results of the formulas are compared to those of the software and an optimal design is proposed based on the regression model.

An analytic model to compute the efficiency of spur gears has been developed. It is based on the application of a non-uniform model of load distribution obtained from the minimum elastic potential criterion and a simplified non-uniform model of the friction coefficient along the path of contact. Both conventional and high transverse contact ratio spur gears have been considered. Analytical expressions for the power losses due to friction, for the transmitted power and for the efficiency are presented. From this model, a complete study of the influence of some design parameters (as the number of teeth, the gear ratio, the pressure angle, the addendum modification coefficient, etc.) on the efficiency is presented.

It is well known that stability is the most important safety requirement for ships. One should have some information on ship stability at the preliminary design stage in order to reduce risk. Initial stability of ships is an important criterion and can be closely evaluated in terms of form parameters and vertical center of gravity. In this study, using some sample ship data, approximate formulations are derived by means of regression analysis for the calculations expressed in terms of ship preliminary design parameters that can easily provide approximate GM calculations. Thus designers can be provided with ship stability at the preliminary design stage, and also a set of appropriate design parameters for improving vessel stability can easily be determined.

Notches at the tooth root fillet can be caused by shaving or grinding. The influence of different notches at the root fillet on the endurance strength of case hardened spur gears was investigated in back-to-back tests and pulsator tests. Data of the test gears: MnCr and CrNi Steels, module 3 (8 DP) and module 8 (3 DP). Besides the a.m. tests photo elastic investigations were performed. On the basis of some characteristic parameters, it was possible, to find a calculation procedure, to determine the loss of endurance strength due to the effect of various kinds of notches. Moreover it was investigated to what extent the endurance strength of notched gears could be increased by regrinding or shot peening the root fillet. It is known that notches at the tooth root fillet can essentially reduce the endurance strength of gears. This is of special importance for case hardened gears. It is desirable that such notches should be avoided, but sometimes notches are produced by shaving or grinding due to inadequacy of tooling or non-uniform heat distortion. Therefore the influence of geometry and position of notches at the root fillet on the endurance of case hardened spur gears was investigated in back-to-back and pulsator tests. Additionally the extent the endurance strength of notched gears could be increased by regrinding or shot peening the root fillets was studied.

Extrusion processes are widely used in plastic industries that aim to produce advanced solutions for increasingly sophisticated demands for plastics. Processes are not designed based on professional engineering design process, but on trial and error techniques. These two factors affect the extrusion processing parameters. In this study focus will be concentrated on the parameters incorporated in Polypropylene rope extrusion process such as: screw length, screw diameter, metering zone length and flight depth. A model equations were derived considering the swelling occurs for the extruded fibers and the tensile drawing of fiber. The authenticated design parameters was derived and a model useful to simulate any given process successfully was resulted in a form of computer software system.
