TL;DR: In this article, a model of non-uniform load distribution along the line of contact, obtained from the minimum elastic potential energy criterion, is presented, combined with the equations of Navier and Hertz yields more realistic values of the bending and contact stresses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the meshing stiffness of spur gear pairs, considering both global tooth deflections and local contact deflections, is evaluated at any point of the path of contact and approximated by an analytical, simple function.

TL;DR: In this article, an enhanced approach for the application of longitudinal plunging in the manufacturing of a double crowned pinion of a face gear drive has been investigated, with the purpose of reducing the sensitivity of the gear drive to misalignments.

TL;DR: In this article, the meshing stiffness, load sharing ratio, and quasi-static transmission error of spur gear pairs are related to each other and are dependent on tooth geometry, and the influence of the amount, length and shape of the profile modification on the load sharing and transmission error has been described.

TL;DR: In this article, a non-uniform model of load distribution along the line of contact of standard spur and helical gears, obtained from the minimum elastic potential criterion, has been enhanced to fit with the meshing conditions of the above mentioned non-standard cylindrical gear pairs.
