Due to the effects of gear flexibility, the extended tooth contact (ETC) can appear, which is
the phenomenon that the incoming tooth pair gets into contact ahead of the theoretical start …

The strong growth within the wind technology market, underpinned by policy goals around
the world, has highlighted the demand for advanced engineering analysis to improve wind …

In the currently booming market of wind turbines, a clear focus is put on the design of
reliable and cost-effective subsystems, such as the gearbox. A requirement for reliable …

To examine the effect of the wheel polygonization on the fatigue of the wheelset-mounted
gearbox housing of a high-speed train, a three-dimensional multibody system (MBS) railway …

In this paper, a new analytical approach suitable for the stability analysis of multibody
mechanical systems is introduced in the framework of Lagrangian mechanics. The approach …

Since the intrinsic limitations of FEM (Finite element method) and lumped-mass method, we
derive the formula of 8-node hexahedral element based on VFIFE (vector form intrinsic finite …

This paper proposes a refined methodology to simulate the non-linear dynamic response of
spur gears. The multibody model is based on a penalty contact formulation and considers …

The estimation of gear stiffness is important for determining the load distribution between the
gear teeth when two sets of teeth are in contact. Two factors have a major influence on the …

The optimization of gearbox geometric design parameters to reduce rattle noise in an
automotive transmission based on a torsional vibration model approach is studied. Rattle …

The dynamic behavior of geared systems is highly affected by operating conditions which
are different from the theoretical case and by deviations of the tooth surface from the perfect …
