There have been continuous efforts for developing the automatic mechanical design system to increase the efficiency of the tedious design process. However, these efforts have been concentrated on single platform application. Hence, the developed systems have been available only in a designated place and time and have been difficult to modify. In this study a web-based design system is developed to offer more reliability and convenience without my restriction of time and place. The developed system is programmed based on Java, and the architecture of the system has object-oriented features of Servlet and JSP and is independent on my operating systems. The developed system has been applied to the initial design of multi-stage gear drives, but as the framework of the developed system is however quite versatile, its application to automatic design of my mechanical system or evaluation can be easily expected.

This paper deals with an evaluation of the residual stress due to shot peening induced in a carburized gear tooth and its application to the fatigue crack propagation problem. A practical method is proposed on the basis of the assumption that the residual stress is caused by the difference of volume expansion in the case and the core, and the influence of both the reduction of retained austenite and the strain due to shot peening are considered. The evaluated residual stress is close to the measured stress, though the surface stress is rather overestimated. The stress intensity factor is computed by the influence function method, and it is shown that the factor is decreased by the residual stress in shot peened gear tooth. The shot peening is fairly effective to the reduction of fatigue crack growth rate. The crack propagation is simulated and the resistance due to shot peening is quantitatively demonstrated and discussed.

This study proposed a technique for inverse problem, linear approximation of contact position and loading in single and double meshing of transmission contact element using 2-dimension model considered near the tooth by root stress. Determination of root stress is carried out far the gear tooth by finite element method and boundary element method. Boundary element discretization near contact point is carefully performed to keep high computational accuracy. The predicted results of boundary element method are good accordance with that of finite element method.

This paper deals with the bending fatigue strength of sintering spur gears. The test specimens are used to sintering spur gear to be consisted of Fe-C-Ni-Mn and SCM415 spur gear. The fatigue test at a constant stress amplitude is performed by using an electrohydraulic servo-controlled pulsating tester. The S-N curves are obtained and the enhancement of fatigue strength due to carburized treatment is clarified, Accordingly, this study presents the fatigue strength of sintering spur gear, SCM415 spur gear and carburized gears of them. The strength enhancement due to the carburized treatment is discussed.

The vibration and noise of gears is due to the vibration exciting force caused by the tooth stiffness which changes periodically as the mesh of teeth proceeds and by the transmission error, that is, the rotation delay between driving gear and driven gear caused by manufacturing error and alignment error in assembly and so on. The purpose of this study is to develop how to calculate simultaneously the optimum amounts of tooth profile modification, end relief and crowning by minimizing the vibration exciting force of helical gears. We estimate the vibration exciting force by the mesh analysis of gears. The constraints of this problem consist of contact ratio and strengths of gear teeth such as tooth fillet stress, surface durability and scoring. ADS(Automated Design Synthesis) is used as an optimization tool. And, since the aspect ratio is an important parameter of tooth modification, we investigate the relation between it and the optimum values of tooth modification. The proposed method can calculate the optimum amount of tooth modification automatically and is to be utilized to resolve the problem of vibration of helical gears.

대량생산체제로 제작되는 자동차용 변속기는 일단 양산에 돌입하고부터는 막대한 retooling비 용의 지불없이는 좀처럼 그 모양이나 중요설계치수가 변경될 수 없기 때문에, 초기설계단계에 서의 다양하고 신중한 고려가 그 후의 어느 단계보다 중요하다. 자동차용 변속기의 치차설계자는 치차상의 주어진 공간내에서 가장 튼튼하고 소리없는 치차를 설계하기 위하여 모듈(module), 압력각, 치깊이 등이 표준에서 벗어나는 특수 cutter를 사용하도록 요구할 수밖에 없다(이러한 비표준 cutter의 제작을 위해서는 다소 더 많은 시간과 경비가 소요될지 모르지만, 이 문제는 양산체제의 특수성 속에 충분히 소화흡수된다). 표준치차의 경우에는 대부분의 설계 데이터가 테 이블이나 그래프로 주어져 있지만 모듈, 압력각, 치깊이 등이 표준에서 벗어나는 치차에 있어서는 이것들을 별도로 계산하지 않으면 안된다. 더욱이 세계자동차 메이커가 소형화와 경량화로 치 닫고 있는 현 추세에 있어서는 더욱 정밀한 계산에 의한 데이터가 요구될 것이다. 본 보고서는 임의의 cutter를 사용하여 절삭한 치차의 fillet 부분에 있어서 fillet 곡선의 함수를 구하고 이 것으로부터 lewis방식의 굽힘강도계산식(대부분의 굽힘강도 계산식이 lewis 이론에 입각한 것이긴 하지만)에 사용되는 강도계 수를 approach 법으로 구하는 방법과 계산공식에 대하여 서술한 것이다. 여기서 취급하는 굴절법은 hobbing cutter 등에 의한 rack형 굴절법이다.

The design of multi-stage gear drives is a time-consuming process because it includes more complicated problems, which are not considered in the design of single-stage gear drives. The designer has no determine the number of reduction stages and the gear ratios of each reduction stage. In addition, the design problems include not only dimensional design but also configuration design of gear drive elements. There is no definite rule or principle for these types of design problems. Thus the design practices largely depend on the sense and the experiences of the designer, and consequently result in undesirable design solution. A new and generalized design algorithm has been proposed to support the designer at the preliminary phase of the design of multi-stage gear drives. The proposed design algorithm automates the design process by integrating the dimensional design and the configuration design process. The algorithm consists of four steps. In the first step, the user determines the number of reduction stages. In the second step, gear ratios of every stage are chosen using the random search method. The values of the basic design parameters of a gear are chose in the third step by using the generate and test method. Then the values of the dimensions, such as pitch diameter, outer diameter and face width, are calculated for the configuration design in the next step. The strength and durability of each gear is guaranteed by the bending strength and the pitting resistance rating practices by using AGMA rating formulas. In the final step, the configuration design is carried out using simulated annealing algorithm. The positions of gears and shafts are determined to minimize the geometrical volume (size) of a gearbox while avoiding interferences between them. These steps are carried out iteratively until a desirable solution is acquired. The proposed design algorithm is applied to the preliminary design of four-stage gear drives in order to validate the availability. The design solution has considerably good results in both aspects of the dimensional and the configuration design.

Acoustic emission technique is applied to the fatigue crack initiation in a carburized gear tooth. Acoustic emission test performed on carburized gear and three-point bending test equal to carburized gear hardness. The marked acoustic emission are detected at the early stage of crack initiation measured by a crack gauge and the final stage just before the tooth failure. The estimated acoustic emission energy rate are characteristic of the measured acoustic emission.

In the reduction gears for marine propulsion engine such as turbine or high speed diesel engine, the standard involute double helical gears are generally used. However the addendum modification gear can be used in the reduction gear as it has flexibility for gear design on the tooth strength, scoring and operating noise. In this case, the determination of gear shaft bearing load is difficult by the alternation of operating pressure angle. In this paper, the formulas of bearing load according to the arrangements of the reduction gears are derived and the diagrams of operating pressure angle according to the modification coefficient are presented.
