Optimum Design of Gear Systems for Surface Durability

This study deals with the development of a design system for evaluation of the significant parameters which optimize the performance of gear units for surface durability. A double reduction unit is considered for illustration. The results show the feasibility of automated design procedures for gear systems with regard to pitting, scoring, and wear. Presented at the ASLE Annual Meeting in Cleveland, May 6–9, 1968.
