Abstract The design of gear boxes is a complex challenge characterized by conflicting requirements and seemingly circular dependencies. Existing tools support engineers but focus on single predefined design, often leading to costly iterative processes non-optimal solutions. Solution Space Engineering (SSE) alleviates this generating multiple designs represented solution spaces. For this, particular model structure needed, thus restructuring existing models, e.g., from industry standards....
Abstract Due to their compactness and power density, planetary gearboxes are used for a wide range of high-performance applications in the automotive, aviation marine sector. Aerospace particular benefit from full use load capacity potential meet requirements lightweight construction efficiency. Against this background, sharing between individual gears plays decisive role. A uniform enables design single tooth meshes without increases oversizing. However, due manufacturing assembly...
Abstract In order to respond a shortened development time of today’s transmission systems, the automation certain steps in design process is essential for ensuring an efficient process. Computer-aided tools are widely used analyzing given configurations because standardized methods available evaluate load carrying capacity all key components simple gear train, namely bearings, shafts and gears. At early stage development, requirements restrictions need be synthesized concepts. During this...
Abstract Waste heat recovery is a promising method to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in heavy-duty vehicles. An organic Rankine cycle (ORC) used convert the thermal energy of exhaust gases into useable support power train. A key component ORC expansion machine where conversion mechanical takes place. In case volumetric machines such as axial piston expanders, lubrication oil mixed with working fluid friction increase durability. However, presence also affects both efficiency...
Abstract Planetary gear sets combine the characteristics of high-power density and compact design which are beneficial for a wide range high-performance applications. Embedded in efforts resource efficiency cost reduction, new challenges arise regarding lightweight design. An accurate prediction load sharing on individual planetary gears especially distribution meshing is major importance. A uniform enables tooth meshes without increases oversizing. However, varying has been observed...
