In the study, a five-speed manual transmission of commercial vehicles is modeled and assembled with three-dimensional (3D) software SolidWorks. In order to analyze the kinematic and dynamic performance of the manual transmission, its 3D model is imported into the software ADAMS and the Hertz elastic contact theory is applied to calculate the contact force and deformation of the meshing gears. Finally, the speed and meshing force of the meshing gears have been obtained, which are consistent with the actual situation. This method can provide guidance for the design of the key components of the transmission, and thus can shorten the development cycle and reduce the development cost of the transmission.
