At the beginning of gear transmission design, mainly simplified methods of gear strength analysis based on ISO or AGMA standards are used. However, they allow for calculation of approximate and sometimes biased stresses. Moreover, ISO standard is generally focused on using racks for gear manufacturing. A method proposed in this paper allows for computation of the parameters of critical section, strength coefficients YF, YS, and tooth root stress σF according to the procedure from ISO standard also in the case of machining gears with gear type tools. The proposed improvement of ISO standard leads to replacement of real gear tool with rack with substitute tip radius ρa0*. The developed method maintains basic assumptions and advantages of ISO standard, including its simplicity. Simultaneously, it allows for computing the maximum tooth root stresses σF: (i) very close to results of accurate geometric analysis and finite element analysis, and (ii) much closer, compared to conventional ISO procedure, to results obtained using AGMA standard.

The work described in this paper is an evaluation of the contact characteristics of bi-metallic gears forged through a novel bi-metallic gear forging process. Finite element analysis of the contact characteristics of single material gears was first performed to validate the tooth contact and tooth root stresses with empirical American Gear Manufacturers Association and British Standard standards. Having verified the validity of the model, simulations were performed for gears comprising lightweight cores with teeth bounded by steel bands of uniform thicknesses, 1 mm, 2 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm to evaluate the differences in stress distribution and compare to single material gear teeth. The forged profiles obtained experimentally by utilising 2 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm thickness bands via the bi-metallic gear forging process are also discussed. The uniform thickness model is subsequently adapted to incorporate the experimental forged profiles in order to estimate the contact stress, root stress, and stress distribution within the teeth to identify performance differences between bi-metallic forged gears and traditional single material gears.

The main objective of this study is to quantify the influence of the deformation of the rim of an internal gear on the meshing stiffness and the stress distribution in tooth fillets. The 3D model used is based on a method derived from the Finite Prism Method. Tooth bending effects and contact deformations are processed simultaneously. Scientific use of the software has resulted in formulating an equation to calculate the maximal tension stress in the tooth root. This formula has been obtained by using the statistical design of experiment method.

In this paper,in view of the fork head often broken of the main drive system of a medium thickness plate mill,finite element analysis software ANSYS is used to establish universal coupling model and analyse static strength of the universal coupling, woning maximum stress value of the fork head and cross shaft at maximum load and analysing fracture reason of the fork,which could provide a theoretical basis for the cross shaft universal coupling strength analysis and structural optimization design.

Usually the gear modification is a main measure to reduce the vibration and noise of the gears, but in view of the complexity of the gear modification, topology optimization method was used to optimize the structure of the gear. The minimum volume was set as the direct optimization goal. To achieve the target of reducing contact stress, tooth root bending stress and improving flexibility, the upper bound of the stress and lower bound of the flexibility were set appropriately, thus realizing multi-objective optimization indirectly. A method for converting topology result into parametric CAD model which can be modified was presented, by fitting the topology result with simple straight lines and arcs, the model can be smoothed automatically, after further regulating, the geometry reconstruction was finished. After topology optimization, the resulting structure and properties of the gear are consistent with cavity gear. While reducing the weight of the gear, the noise can be reduced and its life would be extended through increasing flexibility and reducing tooth root stress.

This study is concerned with a design process for a foldable container structure using a finite element analysis. A foldable container structure consists of frames, panels and hinge systems. The main structure of a foldable container carries all the loads while a hinge system is designed to provide its foldability. In this work, finite element structural analyses for the main foldable container structure are carried out based on the ISO standard regulation, whose results are then taken for the design of a hinge system. The finite element analysis with two types of hinge systems are also performed. It is found out that the main structure of a standard 20ft container could be used for the foldable container with the same capacity if the corner edge in the side assembly is strengthened. It is also concluded that the hinge systems proposed in this work could be successfully used in a foldable 20ft container.

As the most dominative component under stress in an external combustion cam engine, the working condition of piston is very rigor. Once new design type and technical improvement is applied, it is necessary to analysis its thermal load and take secure steps. And the finite element model on each conditions of thermal is calculated, which is used to estimate the temperature field and provide a theoretical basis for further structural strength analysis and optimization design. Choosing analysis results of the piston as reference and taking five structural parameters of the piston as design variables, two objective functions including piston mass and maximal Von Mises stress are respectively considered. The optimum design of the piston is executed and the results indicate that it is feasible to improve temperature field and strength of the piston. These results enrich and develop the research on structural analysis and optimization of spatial engine, which are of guiding significance for analyzing engine strength and related problem in theoretically.
