... profile of the flexspline is corrected based on the deformation difference. Then, the flexspline is divided into multiple sections along the axial direction, so that the three-dimensional tooth profile of the flexspline is modified to improve the gear tooth meshing effect. Findings This paper proves...

... Contact procedure Finite element method Robustness Three‐dimensional In this paper, a general 3D contact procedure is presented. With respect to the existing literature on the subject, emphasis was put in this work on generality and robustness, since the procedure is intended for general...
