f) Current Research
- Conduct dynamic analysis and design of standard gear transmission systems using computer
simulation and modeling. Perform numerical integration of governing equations of motion to
evaluate the effects of various gear design parameters on the dynamic response of the systems.
- Incorporate and test new design concepts to create non-standard gear systems to minimize the
dynamic load and stress of gear teeth for improved dynamic performance and longer service life.
- Explore the use of composite materials for a better gear transmission system.
