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, 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.

TL;DR: In this article, a new calculation method of the contact stress of spur and helical gears with transverse contact ratio greater than 2 is developed based on the Hertz equation and an enhanced model of load distribution, obtained from the minimum elastic potential criterion.

TL;DR: In this article, a non-uniform model of load distribution along the line of contact of spur and helical gears, obtained from the minimum elastic potential criterion, has been used, combined with the equations of the linear elasticity, to evaluate the fatigue tooth-root stress.
