Gearbox

An All-Terrain Vehicle is an Off Road vehicle that has the ability to drive on any terrain
without any difficulty. These vehicles are designed to sustain any sort of extreme loads that act
during off road driving. All-Terrain Vehicles are fitted with large tires with grooves for better
traction on slippery terrains, high ground clearance to avoid obstacles, and usually designed with
high torque rather than speed. As compared to commercial vehicles, these vehicles are designed
to be more strong and durable. These vehicles are vastly used in Deserts, Mountains, forests or any
other gravel surfaces.
All-Terrain Vehicles are vastly used in farming in India. Best examples are tractors and
snow mobiles. The main key for such vehicles is the powertrain assembly which is unique and
differs from other vehicles. The power train includes Engine, Manual Gearbox, Limited slip
Differential or in some cases a reduction gearbox coupled with a continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT).CVT is the new technology being implemented in Off Road Racing.
BAJA vehicles are the most famous Off Road Vehicles in India.However,due to the
extreme loads caused by the gravel tracks and the constraints to reduce the weight, one major
component is susceptible to failure—Reduction Gearbox. Gearbox is a costly component and on
failure, the vehicle is immobile The Power Train assembly is so complicated that it occupies a lot
of space in the vehicle hence increasing the overall weight. The aim of this project is to design a
gearbox that is compact, lightweight and has extended life. Major fields covered are Material
selection, Machine Engineering Design of Gears, Shafts, Gearbox Casing, Bearing selection,
Vibrations caused due to the Engine. These analytical designs have been validated through the
help of CAD and FEA software like SolidWorks and ANSYS. Various Analysis like Structural,
Repeated loads and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) have been performed to study the
behavior of components and oil flow during operations. The design is also finalized with the fits
required for assembly and the final product is expected to be efficient, light weight, compact and
long lasting than the other Gearboxes being used today.

Gear-shifting mechanism has a key role in transmission system of a vehicle. During gear shifting, there is a risk of losing the engine optimal speed that will ultimately lead to more emission from the vehicle. It is demanded for optimal performance of transmission systems to increase quality of synchronizer used for gear shifting. Especially in the case of heavy vehicles, the synchronizer performance needs to be robust more even during different operating scenarios. Synchronization process varies by changing its parameters values. So one of the ways to improve performance of the synchronizer is to optimizing its parameters. In the paper, a generic synchronizer mechanism (GSM) is considered. Mathematical model of GSM is presented based on constrained Lagrangian formalism (CLF) and detailed kinematics of synchronization
process in transmission system. Speed difference at the end of the main synchronization phase and synchronization time are chosen as two objectives. The following eight parameters of the synchronizer have taken as input parameters: cone angle, cone coefficient of friction, cone radius, rate of shift force, blocker angle, blocker coefficient of friction, gear moment of inertia, and ring moment of inertia. Influence of the parameters on objectives is studied. The values of the objective functions decrease with increasing some of the parameters and increase with increasing others. Not only the objective functions have opposite behavior between the parameters but also have opposite behavior with variation of the same parameters. For example, the synchronization
time decreases but the speed difference increases with increasing cone coefficient of friction. The Matlab routine of multi-objective optimization is applied to obtain the optimized parameter values of the generic synchronizer at different operating conditions. In the first case, the sleeve is considered as a master, in the second case the gear is considered as master, and in the third case both sleeve and gear are considered as slaves. In each case, three different operating conditions are studied which are nominal, transmission vibrations, and road grade. The obtained results of biobjective optimization (Pareto fronts, Pareto sets, and corresponding performance diagrams) are analyzed and the most influencing synchronizer parameters have been identified.

Wear of contact surfaces is one of the most common causes of gear failure. In addition to physical and chemical processes that occur in the contact zone, ki-nematic meshing parameters have a great effect on the wear process. This paper analyses the influence of geometric and kinematic parameters of the gear profile on the instantaneous friction coefficient of the trochoidal gearing in the gerоtor pump. The friction coefficient is not a constant value and it varies during the teeth meshing as a result of a constant change in the lubrication regime. There are many empirical expressions for calculation of the instantaneous friction coefficient, but due to numerous limitations, many of these expressions can be applied only to certain operating conditions and loads. The analysis of the friction coefficient was performed through two contact periods defined by the change in direction of the rolling velocity of the meshing profiles contact point. The obtained results enable identification of dominant factors that influence the instantaneous friction coefficient and show possibilities for further development of analytical models of mechanical losses in the gerоtor pump. There is a wide range of pumps used in modern industrial practice. One of the simplest is a gerоtor pump. Gerоtor (trochoidal) pumps are rotary pumps with in

Cycloid drives are a relatively new group of planetary power transmissions. These transmissions have numerous favorable characteristics, such as a wide range of transmission ratios, very compact design, high reliability in dynamic exploitation conditions, high efficiency, etc. As they are part of a newer generation of transmissions , the possibility of using other materials other than steel in their production is not yet fully investigated. For the purposes of this investigation a single stage cycloid reducer was designed and manufactured out of mainly plastic components. The theoretical efficiency was determined and experimentally tested. Their comparative analysis is given through the discussion. The paper concludes with suggestions for further research on this type of cycloid reducers.

In this paper are presented the power losses and sources of their occurrence in worm gear boxes. These are the losses that occur in the coupling of worm teeth and worm gear, losses in bearings, seals and oil churning power losses in the transmission. When the operation of worm gearing is characterized by line contact of coupled elements which is accompanied by significant sliding, the highest value have the power losses in the worm and worm gear coupling compared to other losses in gearing. Among other things, in the paper also presents the expressions that are used for calculation of individual power losses and efficiency of the gearing. The size of the losses primarily depends on the type of coupled material and geometry of worm pair, circumferential velocity (input rotational speed), the type and viscosity of lubricating oil, load, worm shape, and temperature and so on. The paper also deals with the influence of different factors on power losses and efficiency. As the efficiency of the worm pair is significantly lower compared to other types of gear pairs, the appropriate combination of geometric parameters and materials of worm and worm gear, lubrication and working conditions can significantly affect its increase.

Due  to  increased  competition  among  Indian  commercial  vehicles,  suppliers  there  is constant  challenge  to  bring  quick  and  innovative  solution  to  the  market.  Focus  is  on reducing  the  test  time,  rework  time  and  increased  use  of  CAE  analysis  which  is  now critical and important step in product development process.
Mechanical gear shifting system is one of the vital component used in gear system of a commercial vehicle. The system faces following critical constraints
a) Packaging Space (Constrained due to engine, NVH and other aggregates)
b) Ergonomics, gear selection and shifting forces and the  input  force reaching to the gear box for gear engaging and disengaging.
Since existing  method  of  designing  gear  shifting  system  has  short comings  as  pipe bending  has  always  been  problem  for  manufacturers  due  to  spring  back  in  material  of pipe.  This  leads  to  unwanted  efforts  to  optimize  the  systems  through  trial  and error methods.  Eventually  this
leads  to  loss  of  time  and  money.  For  years,  suppliers  have heavily relied  on  key  life  laboratory  testing  as  compared  to  providing  ground testing  to validate their design in product development process.
The core competence of the project is to focus on the methodology to optimize the existing  design of mechanical gear shifting system on heavy commercial vehicle by carrying out CAE  package  study using  DMU Kinematic tool. The  results  of  CAE have  taken  as reference to fabricate the prototype and to fit on actual vehicle and the test are conducted to make ready to fit solution.

A common feature of all engines with internal combustion is the need for a gearbox. This constructive requirement is justified with the practical fact that, if the torque and power characteristics of an engine would be geared directly to the working bodies of a consumer machine (such as road wheels) it could not ensure enough torque throughout the vehicles operational speed range. According to the operational task that the vehicle should manage, several solutions are used. Automatic (planetary) gearboxes and CVTs (Continuously Variable Transmission) allow gear ratio changes without power interruption. In other cases such as race car technology, multiple ratio gearboxes are caused by rules and regulations. In order to optimise gearbox performance, a wide range of analytical methods are used. One of the most frequently used, is the traditional straight line plot of road speed against engine rpm (rounds per minute) as a method of choosing ratios. Unlike this method, tractive effort curves include much more information and so they can publish how well ratios are suited to the engine`s characteristics as well as the fundamental track parameters that driven their choice. This paper should state out the benefits of tractive effort curves in gearbox analyse. In order to maintain this, an instance from the Formula 1 was taken. Based on onboard video records of different tracks (in this example the tracks in Monaco and Monza were chosen), authors could approximately determine points of gear change and top speeds achieved within a certain ratio. These information allow to set a group of tractive effort curves (as well as several road speed – engine rpm diagrams). A huge amount of data, related not just to the gearbox, can be obtain when comparing results of these two methods and using them together.

In this increasingly technological world, mining it’s the first step for any sketch and plays an important role in extraction and selective recovery to comply with the incessant demand of material that we need nowadays.

One of the most coveted materials it’s gold, necessary to wear as much for jewel like for
numerous application in the engineering world, since its use in aviation engines until applications of dentistry, among countless examples. But, how is supported this incessant hunger of gold?

This answer, some years ago, was to use a big quantity of workforce, which by means of hand tools they were able to get little amount of gold. Was a work tedious, not much remunerate and very dangerous.

In the middle of the XIX century, when they were discovered big rich zones in gold in Alaska and the northern zone of United States and Canada, they was knew like “gold rush” that’s did break up a little boom at the technological area beginning in this way a great number of surveys and digging of alluvial mining. Better machinery was available to be controlled by a small number of operators, obtaining large amounts of gold from the ground.

This inclination is continued until nowadays, that we have any type of high capacity mining machinery to obtain a high quantity of gold that’s present on the deck.

A type of machinery is known like “Trommel” o rotary screen, this machine is based on movement and pressure of water to release gold who it’s glued on the rock’s surface.

About this machine it is base the next project, we need a low spin speed, but enough for doing a progressive cleaning of rocks at the same time a high quantity of torque, for win all inertias and move with fluently rock- drum set.

So, for this, it is imperative to use a reducing mechanism able to harness the power of the engine and offer all requirements that we need, always taking into account security and protection of the environment.

A tribo-dynamics model of a differential hypoid gear pair is presented, integrated with lubricated contact of meshing teeth pair with lubricants of varying rheological properties. Particular attention is paid to the effect of lubricant formulation and gear geometry on the system efficiency. The  influence of gear torsional dynamic response is taken into account in a 4-Degree of Freedom (DoF) model. The contact geometry and kinematics of the hypoid gear pair are estimated, using Tooth Contact Analysis (TCA). Two fully formulated gear lubricants of the same viscosity grade (SAE 75W-90) blended with the same additive pack, but with different types and concentration of viscosity modifier (VM) are considered. Conjunctional friction is predicted for viscous shear of fully characterised lubricants as well as boundary interaction of rough surfaces. The results show loss of friction resulting in resonant response of the gear pair with impact of meshing teeth exhibiting non-linear jump phenomenon. The predictions also show that lubricants with higher pressure – viscosity (PV) coefficients tend to exhibit increased power loss.

Improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions are key drivers for modern drivetrain systems. Therefore, in recent years, dry sumps with air-oil mist lubrication have been used for efficient transmission design in order to reduce the churning losses. With dry sumps appropriate cooling measures should be implemented to dissipate the generated contact heat in an efficient manner. This paper integrates a tribological model with three dimensional thermofluid analysis in order to predict the heat generated in the lubricated meshing gear contacts and its dissipation rate by an impinging oil jet in air-oil mist environment. Such an approach has not hitherto been reported in literature. The results show that the generated heat under realistic conditions cannot be entirely dissipated by the impinging oil jet in the air-oil mist transmission casing. Numerical results are used to derive extrapolated regressed equations for heat transfer purposes for time-efficient analysis. These conform well with the detailed numerical results.

Cycloidal speed reducers belong to the new generation of mechanical gears. Cycloidal
speed reducers are increasingly used in modern engineering due to their
good performances. Friction exists at all points of contact between the moving
elements of cycloidal speed reducers, as one of the main causes of power losses
in power transmission. In this paper, the friction of the contact of cycloid disc

2 analytical models for calculating the values of contact force and friction
torque. The 2nd model opposed to the 1st, taking into account the phenomenon
of friction. The results showed that friction significantly affects the distribution
of normal force. Increase of the friction produces the contact forces and friction
torque increase, also, while efficiency is decreasing.

A real case study is represented of abrupt failures in a new multi-motor gear drive of vertical rolls in the heavy slabbing mill. Modal analysis is conducted, and the lowest torsional vibration modes are verified by the data from an industrial plant. Conditions of parametric resonances due to variable stiffness of teeth are determined within the range of working speed. The branched gear drive is investigated by the non-linear dynamical model with backlashes. It is shown that instantaneous dynamic loads in driveline are strongly dependent on the difference in gap sizes and phase shift between two intermediate gears in the output gear wheel coupling. Deviation in electrical parameters by 0.5 % is considered as the additional cause of not equal load sharing of parallel motors. Results of this research allowed preventing further failures of the gearbox and optimizing slabbing mill control. The proposed approach can be used in other multi-motor machines.

The gearbox of a wind turbine involves multiple rotating components, each having a potential to be affected by a fault. Detecting weak faults of these components with traditional demodulation analysis is challenging. Multi-scale enveloping spectrogram (MuSEnS) decomposes a vibration signal into different frequency bands while simultaneously generating the corresponding envelope spectra. In this study, a MuSEnS-based diagnosis approach is applied to detect faults affecting the intermediate stage of a gearbox installed in an operating wind turbine. The MuSEnSs of 12 vibration channels have allowed to identify multiple fault features, including the weak fault of the big gear on the sun shaft. The effectiveness of the proposed fault diagnosis approach has been tested with industrial data and the faults themself have been confirmed with the disassembled gears.

Wind turbines commonly undergo non-stationary flow and, not rarely, even rather extreme phenomena. In particular, rough terrains represent a challenging testing ground, because of the combination of terrain-driven flow and wakes. It is therefore crucial to assess the impact of dynamic loads on the turbines. In this work, tower and drive-train vibrations are analyzed, from a subcluster of four turbines of a wind farm sited in a very complex terrain. The main outcome of the study is that it is possible to start from the analysis of wind conditions and interpret how wakes manifest in the vibrations of the turbines, both at structural level (tower vibrations) and at the drive-train level. This wind to gear approach therefore allows to build a connection between a flow phenomenon and a mechanical phenomenon (vibrations) and can be precious to assess loads in different working conditions.

This paper will review theoretical and practical techniques employed to analyze and reduce rattling noise in the gear
boxes. This paper involves solving the gear rattling noise problem at the very source to introduce a solution as a means to reduce
rattling noise. The gearbox noise problem solution is focused on the improvement of gear design; on the verification of its effect on
the radiated noise and the determination of the gears ‘contribution to the power transmission noise levels and on the analytical
and/or numerical computer-based tools needed to perform the analysis and diagnostics of gear rattling phenomenon. All of the
analytical methods are based on the time and frequency domain approach. Special care is addressed to the smoothness of the drive
resulting from the transmission error variation during a mesh cycle. This paper will review the progress in technique of the relative
teeth displacement; teeth contact force, eccentricity, backlash angle and its effect on gear noise due to the self excited vibration.
This presentation will include some examples of the use of such approaches in practical engineering problems.

This papers deals with the optimal selection of motors and reducers in servo-controlled machines. A model of an electromechanical servo-axis is developed, which allows electrical and mechanical losses to be evaluated. The model is based on data that can be extracted from commercial catalogs, thus requiring no experimental characterization. Then, a novel optimal selection procedure is presented, called continuous optimization, based on the extension of a discrete commercial catalog to a continuous one, by means of data fitting on the electromechanical parameters that influence the motor and reducer operation. A non-linear constrained optimization problem is solved in order to find the optimal motor-reducer unit with respect to a variety of objective functions, such as motor size, overall energetic efficiency, total mass, etc.

Considering the effects of extended tooth contact (ETC), revised fillet-foundation stiffness under double-tooth engagement region, nonlinear contact stiffness and tooth spalling defect, an analytical model for time-varying mesh stiffness (TVMS) calculation of spur gears is established. In addition, the analytical model is also verified by comparing the TVMS under different spalling widths, lengths and locations with that obtained from finite element method. The results show that gear mesh stiffness decreases sharply with the increase of spalling width, especially during the single-tooth engagement; the spalling length only has an effect on the beginning and ending of gear mesh stiffness reduction; the spalling location can affect the range of gear mesh stiffness reduction, and the range will reduce when the spalling location is close to the addendum. This study can provide a theoretical basis for spalling defect diagnosis.
