Abstract

Spiral bevel gear pairs (SBGs) play an important role in transferring power between non-parallel shafts in transmission systems. Their high contact ratio, makes SBGs smooth and quiet, allows them to withstand high levels of torque and power, however their complex geometry requires a careful consideration of the parameters that affect transmission efficiency and durability. Vibration is a major issue because it influences the stress distribution, contact pressure, and fatigue life of a geartrain. Several parameters, such as fluctuating mesh stiffness and transmission error in the gear mesh exert an important influence on vibration which is the major source of driveline noise.

Solving the chainsaw kickback problem with Maplesoft and ANSYS

Maximising chainsaw safety over the tool’s life by analysing the kickback problem and lifetime tool fatigue and performance

The avoidance or reduction of chainsaw kickback is a key safety feature for manufacturers. The challenges for engineers are to obtain more accurate analyses of the problem over the tool’s lifecycle.
