Abstract:More and more simulation tools are being used in the development of gears in order to save development time and costs while improving the gears. BECAL is a comprehensive software tool for the tooth contact analysis (TCA) of bevel, hypoid, beveloid and spur gears. The gear geometry is provided by a manufacturing simulation or a geometry import. To determine the exact contact conditions in the TCA, the discrete flank points are converted into a continuous and differentiable surface representation. At present, it… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
