Planetary gear design is complex because it involves a combination of discrete variables such as module, integer variables such as the number of teeth, and continuous variables such as face width and aspect ratio. Thus, an optimum design technique is needed. In this study, we applied a genetic algorithm to the design optimization of a planetary gear. In this algorithm, tooth root strength and surface durability are assessed with fundamental variables such as the number of teeth, module, pressure angle, and face width. With the help of this technique, gear designers could reduce trial and error in the initial design stages, thus cutting the time required for planetary gear design.

구면무단변속기(SS-CVT)는 구조가 간단하여 변속기구의 부피와 무게를 기존의 변속기구에 비하여 줄일 수 있으며, 별도의 클러치 없이 출력축의 정회전, 역회전 그리고 중립상태 등을 구현할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 구면무단변속기의 기구적 특징과 변속메카니즘을 이용하여 직류모터와 가솔린엔진을 장착한 병렬형 하이브리드차량의 동력전달계를 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 먼저 구면무단변속기의 작동원리에 대해 설명하고 전용 실험장치를 제작하여 무단변속성능을 검증하였다. 또한 직류모터를 보조 동력원으로 사용하는 병렬형 하이브리드차량 동력전달계의 설계를 위해 연결기어비와 구면무단변속기의 변속비를 차량주행성능에 맞추어 설정하였으며, 이를 차량가속성능의 수치 시뮬레이션을 통하여 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 바탕으로 구면무단변속기의 하이브리드차량 동력전달계의 적용가능성을 검증하였으며, 연구결과로 선정된 구성요소의 설계파라미터를 이용하여 시작차량을 제작하였다.

변속기에서 발생하는 치타음을 클러치를 통하여 해결하려는 방법으로 자동차 중립시와 주행시 각기 다른 비틀림특성을 갖는 클러치를 대상으로 한 실험으로부터 엔진플라이휠, 인풋기어, 변속기 케이스의 진동을 측정하고 분석함으로써 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 자동차 중립시나 주행시에 수동변속기에서 발생하는 치타음은 클러치를 통하여 해결될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 클러치의 프리댐퍼와 메인댐퍼의 비틀림강성과 히스테리시스는 중립시와 주행시 치타음에 대해 각기 다른 특성을 갖게 되는데 메인 댐퍼만으로 구성된 클러치는 주행시에는 치타음을 제거하는데 효과적이지만 중립시에는 인풋기어의 비틀림 공진에 의하여 변속기가 가진되어 치타음이 발생하였다. 주행시 변속기 치타음 제거효과를 감소시키지 않고 중립시 변속기에서 발생하는 치타음을 제거하기 위해 메인댐퍼만으로 이루어진 클러치디스크에 프리댐퍼 부분을 첨가하여 보았는데 자동차 주행시의 치타음 제거효과를 유지하면서 중립시의 치타음을 제거시킬 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

In a transmission or geared rotor system a coupled phenomenon of lateral and torsional vibrations may occur due to the gear meshing effect. Particularly, in high speed or low vibration and low noise applications of geared rotor systems a coupled rotordynamic analysis is required to precisely predict their dynamic characteristics. In this paper a generalized finite element model of a gear pair element is developed, which actively couples the lateral and torsional vibrations due to the gear meshing effect. In the modeling the generalized forces due to the transmission error. geometrical eccentricities. and unbalances in the gear system are also considered. Then. using the developed gear pair element model a coupled unforced rotordynamic analysis is performed with a prototype 800 RT turbo-chiller rotor-bearing system having a hull-pinion speed increasing gear. Results show that the torsional vibration characteristics experience some changes due to the gear meshing and lateral dynamic coupling effect, but that they have no adverse effect and the lateral ones have no practical changes in an operating speed range.

Applying a general coupled lateral and torsional vibration finite element model of gear pair element, this paper intends to look into in detail the coupled lateral and torsional vibration characteristics of a turbo-chiller rotor bearing system, having a bull-pinion speed increasing gear. Investigations have been carried out systematically by comparing the uncoupled and coupled natural frequencies and their mode shapes upon varying the gear mesh stiffness with considerations on rotating speeds, and also by comparing the strain energies of lateral and torsional vibration modes. Results hale shown that some modes may hale the coupled lateral and torsional mode characteristics as the gear mesh stiffness Increases over a certain value, and moreover that their associated dominant modes may be different from their initial modes, j.e., a certain dominant mode may change from an initial torsional one to a lateral one or from an initial lateral one to a torsional one.

Gears, which rotate and transmit power by interlocking two cogwheels, were invented in BC. They have been used in various systems, including industrial machinery, transportation devices, and living facilities, through the industrial revolution. Regardless of how they are used, gears are a major source of noise and vibration. Many effective measures are being taken to reduce the radiation noise generated from gears, most commonly by lubrication. Lubrication in gear units reduces friction on interlocking gear surfaces, dampening radioactive noise. This can be very useful for quiet gear design if these lubricating damping effects can be reflected in the analytical phase for gear design. This study experimentally confirms the properties of lubricated and non-lubricated radioactive noise by designing a decelerator gearbox and analyzing the radioactive noise characteristics by torque, rotation, and the number of gears using computer analysis.

Oval gears are typical kinds of non-circular gears and are widely used in flow meters. This paper presents a tooth profile design of an oval gear according to the curvature of the pitch curve. The length of the pitch oval is divided by the number of teeth and the curvature of the divided points is obtained. The tooth profile is designed on the circle of the curvature as if it is the pitch circle of a gear. The teeth of the oval gear have the same module and pressure angle, but the pitch circle of each tooth differs in size. Thus, the teeth on the divided points of the pitch oval are different in shape. This type of oval gear will improve the meshing properties.

This paper describes mathematical models of the torsional geared driving system for the indexing path and the mill driving path in a mill turret. The eigenvalue analysis for the models is conducted both with and without the gear contact stiffnesses. The natural frequency leads to the effect of gear contact stiffnesses on the vibration of torsional geared systems in a mill turret. It is necessary to analyze eigenvalues of the complex geared torsional system in order to prevent the unexpected vibrations.
