A new involute-helix gear drive, which is point contact with convex and concave circular-arc tooth profiles, is proposed in this article. The basic principle characterized by the advantages of involute and circular-arc gears is put forward. Based on the theory of conjugates curves, generation and mathematical model of this new transmission are presented. The separability of center distance on involute-helix gear is discussed and meshing characteristic of point contact is also analyzed. Finally, the three-dimensional solid model of a gear pair is developed to demonstrate the properties of this new transmission.

A new meshing relationship for gear drive to characterize the conjugation geometry is studied in this paper based on conjugate curves. Conjugate curves are described as two smooth curves always keep continuous and tangent contact with each other in given contact direction under motion law. The general principle of curve meshing is developed for the given spatial or plane curve. The meshing equation along arbitrary direction of contact angle is derived. The properties of geometric and motion of the contact of conjugate curves are discussed. According to the equidistance-enveloping method, tubular meshing surfaces are proposed to build up circular arc tooth profiles, which inherit all properties of conjugate curves. The geometry design and mathematical model of the gears are established. Three types of contact pattern of tooth profiles are generated: convex-to-convex, convex-to-plane and convex-to-concave. A calculation example for convex-to-concave tooth profiles of gears is provided. Theoretical and numerical results demonstrate the feasibility and correctness of proposed conjugate curves theory and it lays the foundation for the design of high performance gear transmission.

According to characteristics of WN gear multi-point meshing and double-arc tooth contact, the finite element analysis model of the WN gear drive is established by Pro/E and ANSYS modeling techniques. The contact way and meshing feature of the WN gear under the different conditions and parameters are studied by three-dimensional dynamic meshing simulation analysis of gear drive. The analysis model of contact strength at loading driving is established by three dimensional geometric contact characteristics and elastic deform theory. Impact of helix angle and center distance error in the calculation of WN gear contact strength on maximum contact stress is analyzed. The results show that increase of the helix angle and a slight decrease of the center distance can improve the contact strength.

The oil jet lubrication performance of a high-speed and heavy-load gear drive is significantly influenced and determined by the oil jet nozzle layout, as there is extremely limited meshing clearance for the impinging oil stream and an inevitable blocking effect by the rotating gears. A novel mathematical model for calculating the impingement depth of lubrication oil jetting on an orthogonal face gear surface has been developed based on meshing face gear theory and the oil jet lubrication process, and this model contains comprehensive design parameters for the jet nozzle layout and face gear pair. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) numerical simulations for the oil jet lubrication of an orthogonal face gear pair under different nozzle layout parameters show that a greater mathematically calculated jet impingement depth results in a greater oil volume fraction and oil pressure distribution. The influences of the jet nozzle layout parameters on the lubrication performance have been analyzed and optimized. The relationship between the measured tooth surface temperature from the experiments and the corresponding calculated impingement depth shows that a lower temperature appears in a situation with a greater impingement depth. Good agreement between the mathematical model with the numerical simulation and the experiment validates the effectiveness and accuracy of the method for evaluating the face gear oil jet lubrication performance when using the impingement depth mathematical model.

To improve load capacity and transmission characteristics of crossed-axis helical gear drive, a generation approach of the gear pair with small-angle based on the curve contact element is proposed. Contact principle based on spatial curve meshing relationships is introduced and geometric models of tooth profiles are developed according to a pair of mated conjugate curves. Furthermore, a mathematical model of crossed-axis helical gear drive with small-angle is established. Numerical examples are illustrated for this research using the 10° shaft angle, and the computerized simulation is also developed based on the solid models. According to gear geometry and finite element method, general characteristics including undercutting conditions, sliding ratios and contact stress for tooth profiles are analyzed. Comparisons with crossed-axis involute gears are also carried out. Finally, the gear prototype is processed using the gear milling method and a basic performance test is conducted. Analysis results show that the new gear pair has well contact characteristics. Further studies on the dynamic analysis and precision manufacturing method will be carried out.

The dynamic response of a helical gear pair system is investigated. A new dynamic model for a helical gear pair system, considering three-dimensional motion due to bearing deformation, is proposed. The proposed model considers the helix angle, gear pair center distance, transverse pressure angle, and the contact ratio as time-dependent variables, which are considered as constants in other models. In fact, three-dimensional motion due to bearing deformation will lead to the changes in a series of dynamic responses. The system equations of motion were obtained by applying Lagrange’s equation and the dynamic responses are computed by the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. The time-varying dynamic displacements, helix angle, gear pair center distance, transverse pressure angle, and the contact ratio are investigated with bearing deformation, different radial bear stiffness, different axial bear stiffness, and gear eccentricity. The results show that, due to the time-varying effect, this new helical gear pair model provides more accurate dynamic responses than those previous models which are considered as constant. In the future, this study can provide some useful information for the time-varying dynamic design of a helical gear pair system.

A geometric model and mathematical model of planetary gear mechanism with double circular-arc teeth is determined using the imaginary rack cutters and double envelope concept. The mathematical model of a ring gear with double circular-arc teeth in a second envelope has been developed. In this paper, the conditions of the gear meshing and contact load of the gears are simulated by assembly errors. The goal of the stress analysis is to determine the contact stress on the planet gear and ring gear, and planet gear and sun gear. Given the assembly errors of the planetary gear mechanism including center distance error and mis-aligmment error, the maximum von-Mises stress in the planetary gear mechanism with double circular-arc teeth is analyzed using visualNastran desktop package. It is found that the center distance error is more critical to mis-alignment error.

This study develops a crowned elliptical gear drive that prevents edge contact when an elliptical gear drive has axial misalignment. According to the theory of gearing and a gear-generation mechanism with longitudinal crowing, the mathematical model of a crowned elliptical gear is derived using a rack cutter. Pointed teeth typically appear on the tips of the teeth of elliptical gears at major axis. Additionally, a three-dimensional geometric relation is applied to prevent pointed teeth from developing on elliptical gears. Moreover, a computer simulation program is employed to generate the tooth profiles of crowned elliptical gears without pointed teeth and locate the contact position for longitudinal middle tooth profiles. Two numerical examples demonstrate the design process and the tooth profile graphs.

A real-time mathematical model for three-dimensional tidal flow and water quality is presented in this paper. A control-volume-based difference method and a “power interpolation distribution” advocated by Patankar (1984) have been employed, and a concept of “separating the top-layer water” has been developed to solve the movable boundary problem. The model is unconditionally stable and convergent. Practical application of the model is illustrated by an example for the Pearl River Estuary.
