This study performs the bending and contact stress analyses for a pair of mating gears during rotation. The interested gears are used for a railway reducer. In general, the railway reducer needs high speed rotation, which leads to a large gear ratio. Thus, it is not easy to apply finite element method to investigate the strength performance, since the size of a gear is much larger than that of a pinion. In this study, the bending and contact stresses determined from FEM are compared with the values determined from the ISO code.

In this study, the performances of five input split type hybrid electric vehicle sub-drivetrains were analyzed. The five sub-drivetrains consist of chain, helical gears and planetary gears. For the analyzing above five sub-drivetrains, the mathematical equations were derived. From the analysis, we found that the sub-drivetrain with chain shows slower acceleration performance and larger energy consumption on the city driving. And, the sub-drivetrain with only helical gear shows smallest energy consumption on the city driving. If the sub-drivetrain can change its gear speed, it shows fastest acceleration performance, but it has largest energy consumption on the city driving due to its additional auxiliary components.

Recently the gear design focuses on the optimal design to extract the design factors from the vehicle transmission that is required to equip the powerful, speedy and silent characteristics. In this study, we had determined modules($m_n$) and face widths (b) to sustain strengths of contact and bending. The pressure angle ($\alpha$) and the helix angle ($\beta$) also had been obtained from the constraint of a contact ratio ($\varepsilon) on helical gears. Through the optimal design algorithm suggested in this study, the design factors were calculated on vehicle transmission gears and those determined factors were able to firm a suitability of the design.

Gear vibration is caused by the mesh stiffness, gear accuracy, and assembling errors. For these reasons, helical gear has the azial, radial, and rotational vibrations. In this study, the mesh stiffness is calculated by considering the tooth bending, contact, and foundation deformations. Rotational vibration of helical gear with tooth error is modeled by the nonlidear equation of motion with single degree of freedom and is anlyzed numerically. Also, by a specially designed experimental set-up, the analysis are cross-checked and the vibration characteristics of helical gear are discussed.

In this paper, the FEM(Finite Element Method) has been applied to understand the geometrical characteristics and to analyze the stress of a helical gear. The helical gear is simulated and analyzed by adding many thin spur gear with helix angles and twist angles. Helical gears with different helix angle and face width have been studied. The results show that the root fillet stress is increased proportionally to helix angle and face width. Namely, as the face width increases, root fillet stress decreases, and as helix angle gets bigger, root fillet stress increases.

Selective surface densification is a tool for improving the mechanical properties of PM steels, such that the requirements for highly loaded gears can be matched. This paper describes the manufacturing and the properties of a helical P/M gear. The gear performance was evaluated on a 3-shaft back to back test rig, on a load bearing test rig and on a sound test bench. The results of these tests are presented and compared to data obtained from solid steel gear with identical geometry and surface quality. This comparison indicates that P/M gears have a load bearing capacity and noise level which are both well comparable to solid steel gears.

Whale helical gears is used to transmit motion between parallel shafts, the shaft bearings are subjected to both radial and thrust loads. The reliability and life analysis are based on the two-parameter Weibull disribution lives of the component gears and bearings. Two methods of estimating the time between gear system overhauls and the number of replacement components needed were presented. The first method assumes replacement of all components during an overhaul of a failed gear system. the second method assumes replacement of failed comonents only. Renewal theory was presented to estimate the number of comonent replacements in a gear system for both methods.
