Jonas-Frederick Berger (b. Hochrein) earned his M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in 2020. He is a PhD candidate and Team Leader for Gear Calculation Software at TUM’s Gear Research Center (FZG), researching LTCA and gear geometry, especially for face gear drives and cylindrical gears.
This paper presents a new analytical method using plate and disk mechanical models to calculate the gear body stiffness of face gear wheels, showing that stiffness decreases toward the outer radius—a behavior that conventional cylindrical gear approaches fail to capture.
