Examples

In this page, three examples can be found. For each one, the data file can help you to understand how to enter the input data. The main file gives an example of how to use the software and to compute its different functions.

Simple Example

This is a simple example of an epicyclic gear train with a bevel planet.

Car Differential Example

This is the example of the car differential. This is a very interesting example because this is a two degree of freedom system and so it has several behaviors.

Alouette's Main Gear Box Example

This example is the description of a main gear box of an helicopter: it is a concrete example on which the research of potential vibration frequencies may be extremely useful. It is also interesting because the input and output axis of this system are non colinear.

Download software

The link below downloads the Software developped with MATLAB that computes the rotational speeds of the links of a mechanism and the contact frequencies in gear pairs and turning pairs.

: Download software zip folder.

: Readme for using the software.

A "Read Me" file is attached. It can help you get started, gives information on how to run the program and gives a few examples.
