A first-principle based mathematical model is developed in this paper to analyze the meshing losses in involute spur gears operating in high-load and high-speed conditions. The model is fundamentally simple with a few clearly defined physical parameters. It is computationally robust and produces meaningful trends and relative magnitudes of the meshing losses with respect to the variations of key gear and lubricant parameters. The model is evaluated with precision experimental data. It is then used to study the effects of various gear and lubricant parameters on the meshing losses including gear module, pressure angle, tooth addendum height, thermal conductivity, and lubricant pressure-viscosity and temperature-viscosity coefficients. The results and analysis suggest that gear module, pressure angle, and lubricant pressure-viscosity and temperature-viscosity coefficients can significantly affect the meshing losses. They should be the design parameters of interest to further improve the energy efficiency in high-performance, multistage transmission systems. Although the model is developed and results obtained for spur gears, the authors believe that the trends and relative magnitudes of the meshing losses with respect to the variations of the gear and lubricant parameters are still meaningful for helical gears.

Gears with asymmetric teeth have unique potential for application in gearboxes, particularly when uni-directional loading is applied. Most recently, gears with asymmetric teeth have received much attention for use in applications that require high performance due to increased load capacity. Such applications include aircraft and wind turbine. These gears offer flexibility to designers due to their non-standard design. In asymmetric teeth, the geometry of the drive side is not to be symmetric to the coast side. In other words, the pressure angle on the drive side is greater or smaller than that on the coast side. Asymmetry between tooth sides provide vital in obtaining key properties, such as high load carrying capacity, low weight, low wear or low vibration. In order to effectively design asymmetric teeth, it is necessary to perform analyses on the efficiency of these gears under various loading. In this study, the results obtained on high contact ratio involute spur gears with asymmetric teeth are presented and discussed. The impact of a few design parameters, such as pressure angle or tooth height, on sliding velocities and friction is investigated and illustrated with numerical examples.

There is an industrial demand for the increased performance of mechanical power transmission devices. This need in high performance is driven by high load capacity, high endurance, low cost, long life, and high speed. New designs and modifications in gears have been investigated to obtain high load carrying capacity and increased life with less volume and weight. Tooth wear is one of the major failure modes in gears. Although there are different classifications of wear mechanisms, wear on gears can be simply classified as mild wear, pitting, and severe wear, depending on the wear rate. These types of wear may lead to power transmission losses, decreased efficiency, increased vibration and noise, and gear tooth failure. This paper deals with the simulation of wear for standard and non-standard gears using an analytical approach. A numerical model for wear prediction of gear pair is developed. A wear model based on Archard’s equation is employed to predict wear depth. A MATLAB-based virtual tool is developed to analyze wear behavior of standard and non-standard spur gears with various gear parameters. In this paper, this virtual tool is introduced by using many numerical examples.

Multiple high speed CMOS cameras composing intersection system to splice large effect field of view(EFV). The key problem of system is how to locate multiple CMOS cameras in suitable position. Effect field of view was determined according to size, quantity and dispersion area of objects, so to determine camera position located on below, both sides and ahead to moving targets. This paper analyzes effect splicing field of view, operating range etc through establishing mathematical model and MATLAB simulation. Location method of system has advantage of flexibility splicing, convenient adjustment, high reliability and high performance-price ratio.

Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is one of the promising technologies that enable nanoscale circuit design with high performance and low-power consumption features. As memory cell and flip-flops are rudimentary for most of the digital circuits, having a high speed, and a less complex memory cell is significantly important. This paper presents novel architecture of D flip-flops and memory cell using a recently proposed five-input majority gate in QCA technology and simulated by QCADesigner tool version 2.0.3. The simulation results show that the proposed D flip-flops and the memory cell are more superior to the existing designs by considering the common design parameters. The proposed RAM cell spreads over an area of 0.12[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m2and delay of 1.5 clock cycles. The proposed level-triggered, positive/negative edge-triggered, and dual edge-triggered D flip-flop uses 14%, 33%, and 21% less area, whereas the latency is 40%, 27%, and 25% less when compared to the previous best design. In addition, all the proposed designs are implemented in a single layer QCA and do not require any single or multilayer wire crossing.

Aeroengines pursue high performance, and compressing blade-casing clearance has become one of the main ways to improve turbomachinery efficiency. Rub-impact faults occur frequently with clearance decreasing. A high-speed rotor-support-casing test rig was set up, and the mechanism tests of light and heavy rub-impact were carried out. A finite element model of the test rig was established, and the calculation results were in good agreement with the experimental results under both kinds of rub-impact conditions. Based on the actual blade-casing structure model, the effects of the major physical parameters including imbalance and material characteristics were investigated. During the rub-impact, the highest stress occurs at the blade tip first and then it is transmitted to the blade root. Deformation on the impact blade tip generates easily with decreased yield strength, and stress concentration at the blade tip occurs obviously with weaker stiffness. The agreement of the computation results with the experimental data indicates the method could be used to estimate rub-impact characteristics and is effective in design and analyses process.

Various methods of calculating transmission error in spur and helical gears are used to predict T.E. at the design stage. In order to reduce the driveline noise of the noise excitation mechanism, an advanced algorithm is used to predict and optimize the TE of a gear pair and the system response of specified TE excitation is investigated for the driven tool holder. And the CAD model was then meshed in Hypermesh with designable and non-designable areas. A pair of spur gears were investigated through static and dynamic analysis in detail.

The paper considers the pros and cons of spur, single, and double helical gearing. A detailed geometric analysis of the basic load capacities of helical and spur gears, respectively, leads to non-dimensional optimum tooth numbers for each type, having a constant ratio to one another irrespective of size and material. Helical gears are shown to require the same volume as spurs but relatively coarser teeth. Consideration of the possible dynamic effects of characteristic errors leads to the conclusion that spur gears are potentially superior for very high speed applications.
