A strength and durability estimation system of involute cylindrical gears which are commonly used as power transmission devices is developed on the personal computer, which analyzed and/or evaluates the gear design and the service performance at the point of view of strength and durability. The typical considerations are the bending strength and the sunface durability, and the strength and durability estimations are carried out using the reliable standards of AGMA&ISO. In addition, the finite element analysis (FEM) of tooth bending stress is conducted in order to compare the real maximum stress with the estimaed bending stress by the standard. Therefore, the system is built so that the variables or factors considered differently in those standards and the strength & durability are appraised seperately by each method, and a series of the estimation processes is integrated into the system can be used in the initial design at the view point of strength and durability. And it is useful to the purpose of the trouble-shooting of gear system and the purpose of introducing the methods for maintaining design strength in service, with appraising the strength and durability after design or with appraising the influencing factors, as a whole. Therefore, this strength and durability estimation system can help the aim of automatic design of cylindrical gears.

An expert system is developed which can design the power transmission involute cylindrical gears on the basis of strength and durability. Bending strength, surface durability, scoring, and wear probability are considered as the basis. The basic components of the expert system are knowledge base, inference engine, and working memory. The knowledges in knowledge base are classified hierarchically into the knowledges used in selection of gear type, selection of materials, and determination of K factor and are represented by rules. In the inference engine two inference methods are implemented with the depth first search method. For-ward chaining method is introduced in the selection of gear type and materials and in the determination of K factor. Backward chaining method is introduced in the detailed design of module and face width in accordance with the validation of strength. And inference efficiency is achieved by constructing the part needing a lot of numerical calculations in strength estimation separately from inference mechanism. The working memory is established to save the results during inference temporarily. In addition, design database of past design results is built for consultation during design and knowledge acquisition facility, explanation facility, and user interface are included for the usefulness of user. This expert system is written with the PROLOG programming language and the FORTRAN language in numerical calculation part which interfaced with PROLOG and can also be executed on IBM-PC compatible computer operated by MS-DOS alone.

A computer-aided design system of involute cylindrical gears(spur and helical gears) for power transmission is developed, in which the volume of a gear unit is minimized with satisfying various design constraints. As the design constraints, bending strength and pitting resistance of AGMA 218.01, scoring of Dudley's flash temperature, contact ratio, and involute interference of pinion are considered and effective factors for strength calculation(life, reliability, hardness ratio, load distribution, velocity, etc.) are also included. This complicated nonlinear optimization problem is solved by using ALM(Augmented-Lagrange-Multiplier) method with self scaling BFGS(Broydon-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno) method employed for unconstrained optimization programming. This design method can be easily applied to designing power transmission gear unit in the machines of various kinds. It is expected for the proposed method to be a contribution for an automated design of gear unit towards weight minimization, miniaturization and high strength of gear unit.

When designing a gear, designers determine basic dimensions of a gear with transmitted power considering strength, interference and so on. But, designers can not easily obtain the tooth profile generated by dimensions as well as the geometry of generating hob for cutting the tooth profile. In order to resolve these problems, an automatic design system creating not only the solid model of a gear but also that of the generating hob using the design parameters of dimensions is developed. Through the developed system, designers system, designers can improve the efficiency of design and satisfy the variable requirements of design as well. In this research, the three-dimensional solid models for spur and helical gears are generated considering the design parameters. Besides, those for generating hob regarding the design parameters of hob is created automatically. The system is developed by using Visual Basic and its three-dimensional geometric modeling module is constructed by using SolidWorks.

When designing a gear drive, designers should specify tolerances reasonably considering accuracy, cost, and manufacturing capability. In field design, however, designers mostly assign adequate tolerance without correlations between parts and assembly, resulting in iterative design dependent on experts know-how. In order to resolve this, the tolerance design system for a cylindrical gear drive is developed both to support tolerance design automation and to synthesize design processes of part and assembly tolerances. In this research, part tolerances are designed with the databases constructed by ISO, Ks, JIS and bearing catalogue, Assemble tolerance, that is, backlash tolerance is designed by synthesizing part design tolerances stochastically using the formulated assembly relations. This system can include part tolerance and fitting accuracy of shaft adn bearing in practical design. In addition, this system provides field-designers with a synthetic guideline for tolerance design of a gear drive.

관절 로보트를 위시한 각종 매니퓨레이터 장치의 관절 구동부는 모터와 감속기의 조합으로 구성되어 있다. 최근에는 감속기를 내재하지 않는, 직접구동 방식이 연구중이지만 모터는 고속회전율 시키는 것이 동력밀도가 크기 때문에 대부분 감속기를 사용하여 회전속도를 감속하고 토오크를 증대하여 매니퓨레이터를 구동시키고 있다. 본 연구에서는 내접 유성식 감속기의 국산화를 도모하기 위하여 원통형 핀을 내치차 치형으로 사용한 내접 유성식 감속기의 설계 기술을 개발하였다. 치형 수정계수를 도입하여 수정계수 변화에 대한 치형의 변화와 접촉 하중 및 응력의 변화를 검토하고 로오크 전달시 기구에 작용되는 하중을 해석하여 내접 유성식 감속기의 설계 기법을 제시하였다.

터빈 익렬, 펌프 익차, 원형 냉각탑, 치차 등과 같이 동일한 형상이 원주 방향으로 반복되어 있는 순환 대칭 구조물의 진동특성을 유한 요소법을 사용하여 해석하는 경우에 전체구조를 모델링하는 대신에 구조물을 동일한 형상의 부분구조로 분할하여 부분구조 한개만을 모델링하고 분할된 경계에서 적절한 경계조건을 부과하여 진동해석을 수행함으로서 컴퓨터 기억용량을 절감시키고 계산시간을 단축할 수 있는 방법이 널리 사용되고 있다. Orris and Petyt[1]는 부분구조의 양쪽 분할 경계면, 즉 연결 경계상에 있는 절점변위의 상관관계를 복소파동전파식을 이용해서 구하여 부분구조의 감소된 복소강성행렬 및 질량행렬을 만들고 실수부와 허수부를 분리하여 유한요소해석을 수행하는 방법을 제안하였다. 유한요소 프로그램 ANSYS[2]에서는 이와 같은 방법을 사용하고 있다. Thomas[3]는 순회 정규모드를 이용하였고, 참고문헌[4]에서는 순회행렬을 이용하였다. 또한 유한요소 프로그램 MSC/NASTRAN[5]에서는 푸리에 급수를 이용하고 유한요소 절점의 위치 및 변위를 원통 좌표계를 표현하여 순환대칭구조물의 유한요소해석을 수행할 수 있도록 되어있다. 본 논문에서는 순환 대칭구조물의 형상의 주기성과 순환성을 고려하여 이산퓨리에 변환을 이용함으로써 순환대칭구조물의 유한요소진동해석을 체계적으로 저용량의 컴퓨터에서 신속하고 정확하게 수행할 수 있는 방법을 제안하고자 한다.
