Gear-Related Stress Analysis and Comparison Between the Fem and Agma Standards
Abstract: In many different devices, gears enable the efficient transfer of motion and torque. They are an essential component of modern mechanical power transmission systems. It has been demonstrated that bending and surface contact stresses at the gear tooth are the primary causes of gear failure, despite their widespread use. Too much stress can lead to tooth wear, pitting, or breakage, which can ultimately reduce the operating life and reliability of …

CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE ANALYSIS OF HIGH-RISE STRUCTURE WITH CREEP AND SHRINKAGE EFFECT
Abstract: This study deals with a time-dependent analysis of reinforced concrete G+40 RC frame structures considering the construction sequence with the effect of creep and shrinkage analysis. Because of the non-mechanical deformations induced by the time-dependent deformations of concrete, concrete structures usually present different behaviors when the construction sequences are changed, despite having the same structural configurations. Therefore, the time-dependent effects of concrete such as creep and shrinkage must be taken …
