This effort investigates the feasibility of using the Hypocycloid Gear Mechanism (HGM) as an alternative to the conventional slider-crank mechanism for Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) applications. Engines incorporating the conventional slider-crank mechanism are subjected to high frictional power losses mainly due to the piston-rod assembly and the associated complex motion of the connecting rod. The unique HGM engine provides the means for the piston-rod assembly to reciprocate in a straight-line motion along the cylinder axis, thus eliminating the piston side-thrusting into the cylinder wall. To analyze the performance advantages of the HGM engine, a Matlab/Simulink model is developed for the simulation of a single-cylinder HGM engine from the throttle to the crankshaft output. The model integrates several sub-models for combustion, gas flow, heat transfer, and friction power loss of the internal gear train meshes, rolling bearings, and sliding bearings. The design of the planetary crank gearing system to satisfy the design specifications of ICE, has been derived using standard design procedures provided by AGMA. Calculated efficiency and power diagrams are plotted and compared with the performance of conventional engines in the literature. The results show that the HGM can satisfy modern ICE design requirements, achieve better engine performance characteristics, and minimize the frictional power losses. The HGM engine achieved lower frictional power losses by an average 33% of the conventional engine losses while its mechanical efficiency is enhanced by up to +24% with respect to the conventional engine.

As one of the most promising vehicle automatic transmission, the dual clutch transmissions (DCT) have become a research hotspot. In order to formulate different shift schedules of DCT to meet economic and comfort requirements, it is necessary to classify and identify driving styles based on vehicle driving data. Accurate classification of driving style is a prerequisite for effective identification, and in this research, a driving style classification method is built based on feature engineering. First, a specified road test is conducted considering the influence factors, in which the driving data is collected, and the driving style is subjectively evaluated. Subsequently, the information entropy is applied to discretize the velocity and the degree of accelerator pedal degree, where 44 feature quantities are extracted to characterize the driving style. Taking into account strong correlation and redundancy between the constructed feature quantities, the principal component analysis (PCA) is employed to reduce the dimension. Finally, the fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm is used to classify the driving style. The successful classification rate can reach 92.16% of the subjective scoring result, and is improved by 9.81% comparing with traditional feature quantities. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed driving style classification method, which lays a foundation for the adaptive control of different driving styles for the establishment of an intelligent DCT control system.

In the current harmonic drive tooth profile design, the three-dimensional spatial spline tooth meshing is not fully considered, which results in problems such as inconsistence of harmonic gearing backlash, low loading capacity, low transmission accuracy and even meshing tooth profile interference in actual machining of the harmonic reducer. Based on this, this paper proposes a harmonic drive meshing quality test method at extremely low input speed based on tooth profile of double–circular-arc profile (DCTP). And combined with the theory of spatial multi-tooth meshing, the corresponding pre-control of different tooth profile modification is analyzed. The optimized non-interference three-dimensional spatial tooth profile modification method is proposed, which effectively reduces its transmission error.

Most modern automatic automotive transmissions are complex mechanical systems composed of multiple planetary gearsets that are connected by shafts, clutches and brakes. Creating a design that supports the desired transmission ratios while requiring a minimal amount of components is a challenging task that is commonly tackled by an engineer with experience and intuition. This paper introduces an approach for the exhaustive synthesis of automotive transmissions composed of two planetary gearsets, two clutches and two brakes that can be deployed in automotive drivetrains. By modeling the components of an automotive transmission based on their possible mechanical connections and additional user-defined specifications a constraint satisfaction problem is derived. An iterative solving process exhaustively generates all possible transmission design with the specified set of components. Further the generated designs are filtered and analyzed such that the designer is served only with unique, valid and useful transmission designs. Finally a set of generated, novel 4-speed transmission designs is presented.

The load carrying capacity of highly loaded gears can be increased by thermochemical surface treatments such as nitriding or case hardening. In contrast to case hardening, the nitriding treatment is carried out at lower process temperatures and therefore creates lower distortion. As a result, grinding after nitriding is usually not necessary. Nitrided gears are ordinarily characterized by a thin, high-hardness, a few micrometers thick compound layer of iron and alloy element nitrides directly on the surface and a subsequent diffusion layer reaching more deeply into the material. Nitriding, therefore, provides an alternative to case hardening for distortion-sensitive components and offers potential for cost savings in the production of highly loaded gears. This publication will focus on the influence of nitriding on the load carrying capacity of highly loaded gears. In addition, this paper summarizes the current state of knowledge of nitrided gears and gives an insight into current research in the field of nitrided gears. In particular, the influence of the compound layer on the tooth root bending strength and the flank load carrying capacity achieved within the research project FVA 386 II is discussed.
通过氮化或表面硬化等热化学表面处理,可以提高高负荷齿轮的承载能力。与表面硬化相比,氮化处理的加工温度较低,因此变形较小。因此,氮化后通常无需磨削。氮化齿轮的特征通常是在表面直接形成一层薄的、高硬度的、几微米厚的铁和合金元素氮化物复合层,随后的扩散层深入材料内部。因此,氮化处理为变形敏感部件提供了表面硬化的替代方法,并为高负荷齿轮的生产提供了节约成本的潜力。本刊物将重点介绍氮化处理对高负荷齿轮承载能力的影响。此外,本文还总结了氮化齿轮的知识现状,并对当前氮化齿轮领域的研究进行了深入探讨。其中特别讨论了在 FVA 386 II 研究项目中复合层对齿根抗弯强度和齿面承载能力的影响。

For a gear pair, both the contact pattern and the transmission error (TE) significantly impact durability and fatigue life. Design and manufacturing processes are often aimed at improving the contact pattern and reducing the overall TE. Other errors, such as runout and wobble, are often induced during the installation of power transmission systems, and they can alter the contact pattern and TE of an otherwise well-designed gear pair. This study provides a methodology to experimentally investigate the impact of wobble errors on the contact pattern and static transmission error (STE) of helical gears. It first provides a description of the modifications to an existing test machine. Next, it describes the gear specifications, preliminary testing matrix, data acquisition and processing procedure, as well as the experimental results obtained with regards to both the contact pattern and STE. The following are observed while describing the experimental results. For a test with no wobble and no runout, the contact pattern remains the same at every rotational position. However, by introducing even a small amount of wobble, the contact will shift from one side of the face width of the gear to the opposite side of the face width of the gear within one revolution. Introduction of wobble may increase the STE and sideband activity around gear mesh harmonics, especially as torque increases. Yet the modest increases in STE and sideband activity seen with the introduction of wobble are not enough to make definitive conclusions. The feasibility of the modified test setup has been demonstrated, and preliminary results have been presented. However, additional data collection should be completed in order to study the impact of runout and wobble on both spur and helical gear pairs with various microgeometry modifications and manufacturing errors.

In this work, elliptical contact is modeled in spiral bevel gear with a suitable ellipticity ratio. The elliptical point contact is modeled using constant velocity and varying velocity with side leakage. A loaded tooth contact analysis was carried out to determine the kinematic and gear mesh force developed during one mesh cycle. The kinematic parameters of the meshing gear pair, namely the contact cells, rolling velocity, sliding velocity and the load distribution in one mesh cycle are used in the elliptical point contact calculation to calculate the pressure and film thickness distribution. The effect of elliptical point contact and varying velocity on the pressure and film thickness distribution are studied. The time-varying contact parameters which are obtained from the tooth contact analysis are used in the tribological calculations. The effect of shaft misalignments on the elastohydrodynamic pressure distribution is also studied in this work.

This paper investigates the design of a new transmission system without a friction synchronizer for high-performance hybrid vehicles. Manual and automated manual transmission systems traditionally use friction synchronizers to facilitate smooth transitions during a gearshift, ensuring speed matching and proper engagement of the gears. Active position sensing technology for dogteeth is being developed, along with the potential of speed matching using electric motors, eliminating the need for the friction synchronizer. However, in removing these friction synchronizer components, significant shock could be introduced to the transmission system with speed or position errors during a shift. This paper proposes a solution through a gear system that utilizes a face mesh design, torsional springs, and alternating teeth height. A prototype of this design was created and successfully tested as a proof of concept for a transmission system, which has the potential to improve hybrid, automated manual transmission design.

Due to the wide range of speeds of the vehicle engine, the resonance cannot be completely avoided. Aiming at this problem, the analysis of the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle transmission system is transferred from the analysis of the intrinsic characteristics to the analysis of the dynamic response, and the sensitivity analysis based on the dynamic response is derived. This study investigates dynamic response sensitivity to model parameters in a nonlinear single-stage planetary gear set coupled with lateral and torsional directions. The equations of response sensitivity are deduced with the direct method (DM) and the root mean square (RMS) method. Gear meshing is a main reason for gear vibration, so gear meshing power sensitivity to model parameters is analyzed in this paper. Also the influence of rotation speed is considered in the response sensitivity. The sensitivity characteristics make it possible to provide support for dynamic design optimization.

Harmonic drive is an indispensable device for robotic joint, and transmission accuracy of harmonic drive is one of its most important performance indexes. Due to the unsystematic research on the accuracy of harmonic drive, the accuracy consistency of harmonic drive is poor, and the prediction accuracy is seriously insufficient. This study focuses on modeling of transmission error system and prediction of transmission accuracy. Through tracing analysis of transmission error of harmonic drive, a transmission error model including manufacturing, assembly and tooth profile error is established. Based on Rayleigh distribution of error sources and considering multi-tooth meshing effect of harmonic drive, the transmission accuracy prediction model is built. Tooth profile error is measured by gear measuring center, dimension error and geometric tolerance are gauged by coordinate measuring machine. The transmission accuracy of three types harmonic drive (SHG14, SHG20 and SHG25) is measured by harmonic transmission error test bench under rated conditions. The comparison results show that the difference between the predicted and experimental values is less than 15%, which proves the validity of the accuracy prediction model. Prediction method play a crucial role for accuracy control of harmonic drive system.
