All of the cutting edges on an hourglass worm gear hob have different shapes and spiral angles. If the spiral angles are small, straight flutes are usually adopted. But for the hob with multiple threads, the absolute values of the negative rake angles at one side of the cutting teeth will greatly affect the cutting performance of the hob if straight flutes are still used. Therefore, spiral flutes are usually adopted to solve the problem. However, no method of determination of the spiral flute of the hourglass worm gear hob has been put forward till now. Based on the curved surface generating theory and the hourglass worm forming principle, a generating method for the spiral flute of the planar double enveloping worm gear hob is put forward in this paper. A mathematical model is built to generate the spiral flute. The rake angles of all cutting teeth of the hob are calculated. The laws of the rake angles of the cutting teeth of four hobs with different threads from one to four threads are analyzed when straight flutes and spiral flutes are adopted respectively. The laws between the value of the negative rake angles of the hob with four threads and the milling transmission ratio are studied. The most appropriate milling transmission ratio for generating the spiral flute is obtained. The machining of the spiral flutes is simulated by a virtual manufacturing system and the results verify the correctness of the method.

All of the cutting edges on an hourglass worm gear hob have different shapes and spiral angles. If the spiral angles are small, straight flutes are typically adopted. However, for hobs with multiple threads, the absolute values of the negative rake angles on one side of the cutting teeth will greatly affect the cutting performance of the hob if straight flutes are still used. Therefore, spiral flutes are typically adopted to solve this problem. However, no method to determine the spiral flute of an hourglass worm gear hob has been proposed until now. Based on the curved surface generating theory and the hourglass worm forming principle, a method for generating the spiral flute of the planar double enveloping hourglass worm gear hob is proposed in this paper. A mathematical model was built to generate the spiral flute. The rake angles of all cutting teeth of the hob are calculated. The laws of the rake angles of the cutting teeth for four hobs with different threads from one to four threads were analyzed when straight flutes and spiral flutes are adopted. The laws between the value of the negative rake angles of the hob with four threads and the transmission ratio were studied. The most appropriate transmission ratio for generating the spiral flute was obtained. The machining of the spiral flutes was simulated using a virtual manufacturing system, and the results verify the correctness of the method.

Based on the general mathematical model of Dudás [3, 4] — which is appropriate for mathematical modelling of production technology methods and various toothed gear pairs — we have generated mathematical models which are appropriate for determination of tooth surface points of face gear and worm gear connection with conical and cylindrical worm by numerical way. After doing the necessary calculations, the CAD models of the worm gear drives could be generated. Based on these there is an opportunity for rapid prototyping (RP) technology for other connection and production geometric analysis. For the verification of our calculated results, we generate CAD models of one to one given geometric conical and cylindrical worm gear drives for other analysis.

Land widths and relief angles of a dual-cone double-enveloping hourglass worm gear hob are important factors that influence the life and the hobbing performance of the hob. Both of them are obtained by generating relief surfaces of the hob. Due to the reason that all teeth of this type of hob have different profiles with each other, all of the relief surfaces are difficult to generate for keeping all cutting teeth with uniformed relief angles and uniformed land widths. For the purpose that land widths and relief angles could be machined precisely, this paper puts forward a designing and generating method for grinding the relief surfaces. The relief surfaces are ground using the same double-cone grinding wheel as grinding the helical surfaces of the worm. Based on the theory of gearing, the mathematical model for grinding relief surfaces is built. Motion parameters when grinding the different points of the land edges on different teeth of the hob are solved. A generating simulation is built by putting those motion parameters into a four-axis hourglass worm-grinding machine. The results of the simulation show that the relief surfaces can be ground continuously and the land widths and the relief angles meet the requirements.

Although there has been some researches about virtual cell manufacturing system, the existing literature lack of discussion about the scheduling model that considering with bottleneck machines in the virtual cells. In view of this deficiency and the new characteristics of the batch splitting problem, this paper considered the batch splitting (or lot splitting) problem in scheduling of virtual manufacturing cells with bottlenecks and multiple machine types, and each of which has several identical machines. In consideration of the hierarchical decision structure of the problem, we developed a bi-level multi-objective mathematical model. Scheduling results and batch splitting strategies of both bottleneck and non-bottleneck machines are given in separate decision levels and additional scheduling objectives are improved in the second model level, while maintaining the maximum use of the bottleneck machine ability. In order to demonstrate how this approach works, application example was shown in this paper.

Based on the general mathematical model of Illés Dudás which is appropriate for mathematical modelling of production technology methods we have worked out a model for resharpening analysis of conical hob. After the hob resharpening using numerical calculations the determination of the tooth surface of face gear by cutting edges is necessary for the analysis. Based on this methods we could calculate the permissible critical angle of the hob and the profiles of the hob and the face gear in axial section. The permissible critical angle of the hob is the critical angle the hob cutting edge of which manufactured face gear profile is situated in the permissible profile error tolerance. We have worked out a new geometric conical worm gear drive that is the conical worm gear drive having arched profile. Using this mathematical model we have done resharpening analysis for the hob having arched profile and determined the permissible critical angle.

In order to evaluate friction losses from chain drives, an important aspect to regard is the friction between chain and guide. This paper is proposing a mathematical model and simulation of the chain-guide contact, for a reference chain drive with transmission ratio equal to 1. The transmission is subject of further experimental determination of friction losses.

In any economy there is a need for the bulky goods transportation which cannot be divided into smaller parts. Such cargoes include building structures, elements of industrial equipment, tracked or wheeled construction and agricultural machinery, heavy armored military vehicles. In any case, tractor-semitrailer should provide fast delivery of goods with minimal fuel consumption. In order to guarantee the goods delivery, tractor-semitrailers must be able to overcome the existing roads broken grade and be capable to tow a semi-trailer in off-road conditions. These properties are especially important for military equipment transportation. The important factor that determines a tractor-semitrailer mobility is its gradeability. The purpose of this work is to improve a tractor-semitrailer mobility with tractor units manufactured at PJSC “AutoKrAZ” by increasing the tractor-semitrailer gradeability. The customer requirements for a new tractor are determined by the maximizing the grade to 18°. The analysis of the characteristics of modern tractor-semitrailers for heavy haulage has shown that the highest rate of this grade is 16.7°. The factors determining the limiting gradeability value were analyzed, based on the tractor-semitrailer with a KrAZ-6510TE tractor and a semi-trailer with a full weight of 80 t. It has been developed a mathematical model to investigate the tractor and semi-trailer axles vertical reactions distribution on the tractor-semitrailer friction performances. The mathematical model has allowed to calculate the gradeability value that the tractor-semitrailer can overcome in case of wheels and road surface friction value and the tractive force magnitude from the engine. The mathematical model adequacy was confirmed by comparing the calculations results with the data of factory tests. The analysis showed that on a dry road the KrAZ-6510TE tractor with a 80 t gross weight semitrailer is capable to climb a gradient of 14,35 ° with its coupling mass full use condition. The engine's maximum torque allows the tractor-semitrailer to overcome a gradient of 10.45° It has been determined the ways to improve the design of the KrAZ-6510TE tractor to increase its gradeability. Keywords: tractor, tractor-semitrailer vehicle mobility, tractor-semitrailer vehicle gradeability.

A method for determination of Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Hg and Pb in waters by Energy Dispersive X Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) was implemented, using a radioisotopic source of 238Pu. For previous concentration was employed a procedure including a coprecipitation step with ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (APDC) as quelant agent, the separation of the phases by filtration, the measurement of filter by EDXRF and quantification by a thin layer absolute method. Sensitivity curves for K and L lines were obtained respectively. The sensitivity for most elements was greater by an order of magnitude in the case of measurement with a source of 238Pu instead of 109Cd, which means a considerable decrease in measurement times. The influence of the concentration in the precipitation efficiency was evaluated for each element. In all cases the recoveries are close to 100%, for this reason it can be affirmed that the method of determination of the studied elements is quantitative. Metrological parameters of the method such as trueness, precision, detection limit and uncertainty were calculated. A procedure to calculate the uncertainty of the method was elaborated; the most significant source of uncertainty for the thin layer EDXRF method is associated with the determination of instrumental sensitivities. The error associated with the determination, expressed as expanded uncertainty (in %), varied from 15.4% for low element concentrations (2.5-5 μg/L) to 5.4% for the higher concentration range (20-25 μg/L).
