This paper deals with face gear design. The goal is to propose a simple formula for predicting the width of the wheel as a function of the main design parameters. Specific software was used to achieve this goal. This numerical tool is able to simulate the geometry and the quasi-static loaded behavior of a face gear. The statistical method used for analyzing the influence of data is described: the Design Of Experiment (DOE) leads to a simple regression model taking into account the influential parameters and their couplings. In the last part, the results of the formulae are compared to those of the software and an optimal design is proposed based on the regression.

Gears are commonly used in transmission systems to adjust velocity and torque. An integral gear or an interference fit could be used in a gearbox. Integral gears are mostly preferred as driving gear for a compact design to reduce the weight of the system. Interference fit makes the replacement of damaged gear possible and re-use of the shaft compared to the integral shaft. However, internal pressure occurs between mating surfaces of the components mated. This internal pressure affects the stress distribution at the root and bottom land of the gear. In this case, gear parameters should be re-considered to assure gear life while reducing the size of the gear. In this study, interference fitted gear-shaft assembly was examined numerically. The effects of rim thickness, profile shifting, module and fit tolerance on bending stress occurring at the root of the gear were investigated to optimize gear design parameters. Finite element models were in good agreement with analytical solutions. Results showed that the rim thickness of the gear is the main parameter in terms of tangential stress occurring at the bottom land of the gear. Positive profile shifting reduces the tangential stress while the pitch diameter of the gear remains constant. Also, lower tolerance class could be selected to moderate stress for small rim thickness.

At development of common concept of current collection for three-phase traction power supply system there is the need to select and substantiate main design parameters of catenary suspension. For this purpose, the authors have carried out analytical calculations and developed a numerical mathematical model that allows assessing catenary statics and it’s dynamics in interaction with current collector. On the basis of results of modeling, the authors have substantiated and selected all the required parameters. In particular, they have determined the permissible speed of trains and maximal length of catenary spans.

The present work describes an aircraft design methodology that uses the wingspan and its mean aerodynamic chord as main design parameters. In the implemented tool, low fidelity models have been developed for the aerodynamics, stability, propulsion, weight, balance and flight performance. A Fortran® routine that calculates the aircraft performance for the user defined mission and vehicle’s performance requirements has been developed. In order to demonstrate this methodology, the results for a case study using the design specifications of the Air Cargo Challenge 2013 are shown.

The compound transmission mechanism of curve-face gear is a new type of gear transmission based on the cam mechanism and the curve-face gear pair. It combines the transmission characteristics of the cam mechanism and noncircular bevel gear. When the compound transmission mechanism of curve-face gear is engaged in the meshing transmission, the rotating center of the cylindrical gear is fixed and used as the driving wheel, and the curve-face gear can generate the helical motion around the axis. In this paper, the meshing characteristics and motion laws of the compound transmission mechanism of the curve-face gear are studied based on the theory of screw. Based on the meshing theory of gears, the coordinate system of conjugate surfaces is established, the basic meshing theory and equation are obtained. On this basis, combined with the principle of the cam, the transmission principle is analyzed by the screw theory. The tooth surface equation of the compound transmission mechanism of curve-face gear is deduced based on the meshing theory and the related knowledge of geometry. The motion law of the curve-face gear and the change of the motion law with the change of the basic parameters of the gear pair with different design parameters are calculated and analyzed. An experimental platform is built to verify the law of motion, and the experimental results are compared with the theoretical values. The correctness of the theoretical analysis is verified, which provides a new way for the research of the compound transmission mechanism of the curve-face gear.

This study developed a research Beekes and Brown (2006) who found that corporate governance makes companies more informative (more transparent). This study aims to prove whether the same results were also found in environmental governance in Indonesia. The theory is used to achieve the goal of this research is the theory of agency. This research was conducted in 32 local governments in Indonesia. Based on a simple regression model, this study shows that local governance affects positively the transparency of local financial management. Such findings reinforce previous research. The findings of this study provide a useful contribution to government officials (executive and legislative), in demonstrating the important role of local governance in encouraging the transparency of local financial management. In addition, the findings of this study can be used as the basis for further research related to the topic of local governance and transparency of local financial management.
