The power-split gear mechanisms is widely applied in power transmission because of the advantages of compact design, lighter weight and high power density. The load sharing and the load distribution are the important performance issues while designing the power split mechanisms. The paper propose a computerized approach based on the influence coefficient method for loaded tooth contact analysis of such the gear transmission. Not only the load sharing of the multiple contact tooth pairs and the loaded transmission errors, but also the distributed contact stresses and the corresponding contact patterns on all the engaged tooth flanks can be calculated by using the proposed LTCA approach. Some analysis results are also discussed with a study case of the first planetary stage of a compound cycloid planetary gear drive.

The Transmission Error and Bearing Pattern of a gear set are fundamental aspects of its meshing behavior. To assess the validity of gear simulation models, the Transmission Error and Bearing Pattern of a Formate Hypoid gear set are measured under a variety of operating positions and applied loads. Measurement data are compared to simulation results of Tooth Contact Analysis and Loaded Tooth Contact Analysis models, and show excellent agreement for the considered test gear set.

Energy efficiency and functional reliability are the two key requirements in the design of high-performance transmissions. Therefore, a representative analysis replicating real operating conditions is essential. This paper presents the thermoelastohydrodynamic lubrication (TEHL) of meshing spur gear teeth of high-performance racing transmission systems, where high generated contact pressures and lubricant shear lead to non-Newtonian traction. The determination of the input contact geometry of meshing pairs as well as contact kinematics are essential steps for representative TEHL. These are incorporated in the current analysis through the use of Lubricated Loaded Tooth Contact Analysis (LLTCA), which is far more realistic than the traditional Tooth Contact Analysis (TCA). In addition, the effects of lubricant and flash surface temperature rise of contacting pairs, leading to the thermal thinning of lubricant, are taken into account using a thermal network model. Furthermore, high-speed contact kinematics lead to shear thinning of the lubricant and reduce the film thickness under non-Newtonian traction. This comprehensive approach based on established TEHL analysis, particularly including the effect of LLTCA on the TEHL of spur gears, has not hitherto been reported in literature.

The spherical gear is a new type of gear proposed by Mitome et al. [1]. Different from that of the conventional spur or helical gear sets, the spherical gear set can allow variable shaft angles and large axial misalignments without gear interference during the gear drive meshing [1, 2]. Geometrically, the spherical gear has two types of gear tooth profiles, the concave tooth and convex tooth. In practical transmission applications, the contact situation of a spherical gear set is very complex. To obtain a more realistic simulation result, the loaded tooth contact analysis (LTCA) has been performed by employing the finite element method (FEM). According to the derived mathematical model of spherical gear tooth surfaces, an automatic meshes generation program for three-dimensional spherical gears has been developed. Beside, tooth contact analysis (TCA) of spherical gears has been performed to simulate the contact points of the spherical gear set. Furthermore, the contact stress contours of spherical gear tooth surfaces and bending stress of tooth roots have been investigated by giving the design parameters, material properties, loadings and boundary conditions of spherical gears.
