Jens Brimmers, Prof. D... Christian Brecher, and Dr.-Ing... Christoph Löpenhaus

The aim of this report is to investigate the potential of using surrogate models within the gear design process.

Knowing the System

June 1, 2019

It's more important than ever to understand the full system your individual components are going into. Here's the latest in how software developers are helping you do that.

Helping Software Developers Help You

November 1, 2017

A key part of gear design software development is customer feedback. With the right feedback, you can get your software developer to work for you to provide the most relevant features possible.

Inclusion-Based Bending Strength Calculation of Gears

May 1, 2017

Reduced component weight and ever-increasing power density require a gear design on the border area of material capacity. In order to exploit the potential offered by modern construction materials, calculation methods for component strength must rely on a deeper understanding of fracture and material mechanics in contrast to empirical-analytical approaches.

Gear Teeth as Bearing Surfaces

May 1, 2017

A reader wonders about gears where the tops of the teeth are the bearing surface, as used in spur gear differentials. Do they require any special construction or processing?

Gear Design Deconstructed

How difficult is it to design a gear? It depends upon whom you ask.

Hybrid Hertzian and FE-Based Helical Gear-Loaded Tooth Contact Analysis and Comparison with FE

July 1, 2016

Gear-loaded tooth contact analysis is an important tool for the design and analysis of gear performance within transmission and driveline systems. Methods for the calculation of tooth contact conditions have been discussed in the literature for many years. It's possible the method you've been using is underestimating transmission error in helical gears. Here's why.
