Despite the wide industrial applications of planetary gear trains, the relationship between the design parameters (tooth profile, carrier mass, etc.) and performance (strength, vibration, noise, etc.) remains poorly understood. A significant amount of research has focused on transmission errors, which are measurable performance indicators directly related to the design parameters. Herein, an experimental test rig for a single-stage planetary gear set built using digital angular encoders and gap sensors is described. To study the static and dynamic characteristics of this planetary gear train, the transmission errors and sun gear orbit are analyzed from the data measured under various levels of torque and speed. The transmission errors of the gear train decrease 40% when the speed increases from 30 to 600 rpm with an output torque of 39.2 Nm, and increase 22% when the output torque increases from 19.6 to 39.2 Nm with an input speed of 30 rpm.

The distance distribution in our planetary system has been a controversial matter. Two kinds of important issues on Titius-Bode's relation have been discussed up to now: one is if there is a simple mathematical relation between distances of natural bodies orbiting a central body, and the other is if there is any physical basis for such a relation. We have examined, by applying it to exo-planetary systems, whether Titius-Bode's relation is exclusively applicable to our solar system. We study, with the $X^2$ test, the distribution of period ratios of two planets in multiple planet systems by comparing it with that derived from not only Titius-Bode's relation but also other forms of it. The $X^2$ value between the distribution of the orbital period derived from Titius-Bode's relation and that observed in our Solar system is 12.28 (dof=18) with high probability, i.e., 83.3 %. The value of $X^2$ and probability resulted from Titius-Bode's relation and observed exo-planetary systems are 21.38 (dof=26) and 72.2 %, respectively. Modified forms we adopted seem also to agree with the planetary system as favorably as Titius-Bode's relation does. As a result, one cannot rule out the possibility that the distribution of the ratio of orbiting periods in multiple planet systems is consistent with that derived from Titius-Bode's relation. Having speculated Titius-Bode's relation could be valid in exo-planetary systems, we tentatively conclude it is unlikely that Titius-Bode's relation explains the distance distribution in our planetary system due to chance. Finally, we point out implications of our finding.

A wheelchair is an essential rehabilitation assistant device for the movement of paraplegia patients and generally paralyzed patients who cannot walk normally. In particular, the applicability of the manual/motorized wheelchair is gradually increasing. Until now, decelerators using belt, chain and worm gears, etc have been widely used. However, a decelerator takes a large space although it is a simple device and thus is not ideal for the driving part of manual/motorized wheelchair. For these reasons, in this study we developed a driving part producing a large driving force through a decelerator using planetary gears rather than conventional worm gear-based decelerator. We designed the tooth profile of the planetary gears for decelerator using Kisssoft program, In addition, we designed the driving part so as to apply it to the wheels of conventional wheelchairs, and then optimized the mechanism for the principles of manual/motorized transposition of the driving part and the operational principles. Based on the results of this study, we finally designed and manufactured a driving part for wheelchair decelerator in the form of planetary gears with 1 sun gear, 2 planetary gears and 1 ring gear.

Various methods to improve the planetary gear noise in the vehicle were introduced. And planetary gear systems were analyzed Therefore a common thing among the different planetary gear systems which generate the gear noise in the vehicle was founded. Most importantly, a frequency versus vibration level map was introduced and a predictive method, which is considering the masking effect, to design the planetary gear sets in the concept design stage was described.

This study investigated pre-service elementary teachers' understanding of the planetary revolution movement of Mars and their explanatory models to show how the Sun-Earth-Mars system worked. An assessment item set using five celestial maps drawn from the Stellarium was designed to probe pre-service teachers' understanding of the prograde-retrograde motion of Mars. Among 23 participants, only four showed scientifically accurate understanding of Mars movement and drawing correct explanatory models for the planetary movement. Even the pre-service teachers who construed correctly prograde and retrograde motions of Mars showed a clockwise movement model due to their intuitive perceptions of Mars movement data from the celestial maps. Pre-service teachers with poor understanding of planetary movement also showed weak explanatory models due to their limited observation or lower spatial thinking. Although the planetary motion is not an easy topic for pre-service elementary teachers, it can be argued if the alternative approach, such as using appropriate observational data of a planet and changing the frames of reference between Earth-based view and Space-based view, is employed effectively in teaching planetary motion, pre-service teachers can reach the upper level of leaning planetary motion in terms of the planet's revolution.

This article describes the useful way to measure the torque and RPM of the geared motor. For this we have made the planetary geared reduction motor including 2 Hall sensors in it and the monitoring system. The monitoring system displays the sensing values (torque, rpm) and the calculated value (power) and it also has the network capability using the Bluetooth protocol. We will show that our solution is much more inexpensive and simple method to measure torque and rpm than before.

Planetary gearing is a gear system consisting of one or more planet gears, revolving about a sun gear. While the planetary gear system has many advantages- for example, high power density, large reduction in a small volume, multiple kinematic combinations, pure torsional reactions, and coaxial shafting, it has not been widely used because of its high bearing loads, inaccessibility, and design complexity. It is also necessary to shift several pairs of gear profiles at a same time. Therefore, designing profile shifted planetary gear system is a difficult and know-how dependent job. This study provides a practical solution to design a profile shifted gear system by the procedural design scheme, and proposes a bearing integrated structure of the dual stage profile shifted gear system with a robust output end. A dual stage profile shifted gear system with the bearing integrated structure is manufactured by the proposed design scheme in this study. This gear system is verified that it is good enough to commercialize, because it has high performance with high gear ratio and robust output end against axial and radial directional runouts in a small space.

최근 미국, 유럽, 일본 등 우주선진국을 중심으로 달, 화성 등 행성 탐사를 위한 로버(Rover) 시스템에 대해 많은 연구 개발이 진행되고 있다. 행성탐사용 로버 시스템 기술 중 특히 주행장치, 자율 주행 알고리즘, 탑재체 등을 중심으로 많은 연구가 수행되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 실제 행성탐사에 앞서 지상에서 로버 주행장치의 주행성 및 안정성을 평가하기 위해 지상시험모델용 로버의 주행장치에 대한 개념 설계 내용을 소개하였다. 또한, 로버 주행장치의 기술적인 관점에서 해외 연구개발 사례를 분석, 기술하였다. 이를 통해 로버 주행장치 개발을 위한 요구사항들을 주행성과 안정성 관점을 고려하여 도출하였다. 설계된 로버 주행장치는 높은 주행성과 안정성을 만족하기 위해 6족을 가지고 있으며, 각 다리의 관절을 제어하는 능동 서스펜션(Active Suspension)을 적용하였다. 이러한 종류의 주행장치 개념은 근미래 (Constellation 프로그램)에 수행될 유인달 탐사에서 이동 및 거주 장치로써 NASA의 ATHELE을 통해 처음 적용하여 개발하고 있다. 이 연구에서 제안된 장치 개념은 이와 달리 우리나라에서 앞으로 수행할 무인소형 달탐사에 적용하고자 설계되었다. 이 논문에서 소개된 내용은 향후 국내에서 행성탐사용 로버시스템을 본격적으로 개발하고자 할 때 유용한 참고자료 및 경험을 제공할 것 이다.

To improve the efficiency of a power transmission system with slip elements, power split/circulation system is applied. The performance of a power split/circulation system varies widely by the change of the followings; the layout of system, the type and gear ratio of planetary gear, the performance of slip element, etc. Therefore, when one designs such a power transmission system or when one determines the economic/power mode of system, a certain performance prediction method is needed. In this study, the internal power flow pattern of a power split/circulation system is theoretically analyzed on several transmission systems. And an effective performance prediction method(so called performance locus diagram) is presented. By this method, the effects of design factors can be easily understood and the qualitative performances of system can be clearly evaluated.
