...Adam Marciniec; Jacek Pacana; Jadwiga Malgorzata Pisula; Pawel Fudali Purpose This paper aims to present a comparison of numerical methods for determining the contact pattern of Gleason-type bevel gears. The mathematical model of tooth contact analysis and the finite element method were taken...

... Tooth contact analysis In the aviation industry, spiral bevel gears are used in the helicopter power transmission systems and in the aircraft engines for driving accessory gearbox. In the design cycle of the aircraft bevel gear technology in industrial environments, the basic and most important...
