Questions related to Gears
It is required to do thermal analysis of worm gear. Since worm gear produce lot of heat, it is decided to fill the worm gear box with oil. I was able to calculate heat produced in gear to friction. However I am really confused how to determine the temperature of oil surrounding gears. I tried using Q=m.s.dt, however I think not all heat generated get transferred to oil. I tried using Fourier method as well, but I got temperature so high that I found it ridiculous. Can anyone provide me the calculation method assuming any data if required. The only data I have is that gear require 5kW input power and the efficiency if 65%.
Can you recommend some articles on a position and attitude calibration method for the linear laser sensor in gear 3D measurement?
Using FGMs in the production of gears offers significant advantages in terms of wear resistance, thermal properties, mechanical performance, stress distribution, corrosion resistance, design flexibility, and long-term cost efficiency. These benefits make FGMs an attractive choice for high-performance and specialized gear applications where traditional materials may fall short. The ability to customize material properties precisely where needed allows for the development of gears that can withstand extreme conditions and deliver superior performance over their operational life.

Dear Igor Sbovoda and Dmytro Lande
I read your paper
Enhancing Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis with AI: Integrating Analytic Hierarchy Process and GPT-4 for Automated Decision Support
My comments
1- First of all, l was pleasantly surprised by the subject of your paper; it appears to be the first, at least for me, to incorporate AI in MCDM
2- In page 2 you say, referring to AHP “This method was designed to address complex decision-making scenario”
Not in my opinion. It was designed according to a lineal hierarchical structure that is not adequate to model a complex scenario.
The pivotal moment you refer is inexact. At the time of its appearance there were other MCDM methods addressing complex problems, starting 1n 1948
You say: “providing a rigorous framework for decomposing decision problems into a hierarchy of more easily comprehended sub-problems, each of which can be analyzed independently”
Breaking a problem is useful to understand it, but not for solving, and I am afraid that they cannot be analyzed independently because normally they are related according to the Systems Theory, and thus, they are normally interconnected. It is like for designing a car you study independently the engine, the transmission, the aerodynamics, the electric system, etc., but all of them are related. The engine depends on the aerodynamic of t he body, depends on the electricity consumed by the car and from the mechanics of the transmission, that is the gear box and cardan shaft
A MCDM problem is a system, and as that it cannot be solved adding up the best results of each part. The whole is generally no equal to the sum of the parts.
3- You say “specially designed format that facilitates a forced choice paired comparison, enabling decisionmakers to systematically evaluate the importance of each criterion against others”
Pair-wise comparison is not normative but descriptive, and as that irrational. On what grounds can you assert that criterion C3 is 3 times greater than criterion C1? Only on the DM intuition, mood or imagination. Nothing scientific indeed
4- “Its unique capability to merge mathematical precision”
How can you say that a method based on intuitions and feelings, has mathematical precision?
5- As you said, the GPT is trained at large data, which is the heart of AI. However, even when your idea of using GPT is indeed revolutionary and very interesting, apparently it does not take into account that in MCDM, each problem, even on the same subject of another one, can be different.
And this is because it is true that you can get valuable information on the type and number of criteria using GPT, but don’t forget that in real practice those are determined based on the series of alternatives they will must evaluate, and as you know, this is opposite to the AHP procedure, that first selects the criteria.
The GPT most probably can give you information linking criteria to alternatives, but it is for me unprovable that those may coincide with your case.
Consequently, if a company decides to analyze three different projects, the DM must know first which are the projects, and then, go to the technical person that in the company is responsible for each area, as engineering, finances, costs, etc. It is them who know the problem and can tell the DM which is the criteria that for each individual point of view should be considered. It is from them, after many meetings and discussions, that normally take into account personal interests, that the final set of criteria is established. This is something that the GPT cannot do.
You have to work with a unique organization, not with the average of 1000, because the number of stakeholders, their ideas, their needs, their wishes and their interest are not condensed in a set given by GPT.
Remember that in despite of the tremendous experience we have on agriculture, we are still unable to predict the volume of the next harvesting or even predict when it is going to rain in adequate amounts for crops
6- Something that you did not mention is that AHP demands independent criteria, something that practically does not exist in the real world. How do you query GPT about this? Will you ask it to select criteria that satisfy this condition? If you do not input your alternatives, how it will know that must adjust to such stringent condition? , albeit you did not to worry for it if you work with ANP.
It appears from your questions to GPT that you are maximizing everything. How do you proceed if you have to minimize a criterion like ‘cost’, together with 10 or 15 more criteria?
7- In page 6 you do not detail detail the final criteria. Curiously, don’ you think that communications as well as back up systems are missing? Common sense tells you that that is fundamental
8- In page 6 you asked a machine for subjective values? How can a machine do that? It only got a set of real values and it is unable to intuit anything; that is for human and may be for animals.
9- In gage 13 you talk about matrix consistency. Could you please explain why the estimates of a person must be consistent or transitive? Who says that?
And most important, is there an axiom or theorem that demonstrates that what is the mind of persons is replicable in the real world, which is in general intransitive?
I hope my comments may help you

In the essay linked above, which is written by Helge K. Nylenna, we learn that members of the Church of Norway have long been practising at least two types of democracy.
This discussion is geared at sharing where you have experienced democracy. Was it in a religious community, like the Church of Norway, or perhaps in your family, workplace or school? And what type of democracy was/is being practiced?
What basic, post graduate textbook on research methods (including qualitative and mixed methods equally) do you recommend? I am tasked with writing a research program for a new masters class for our psychology department. However, the powers that be wish this to be used as a general class and shared with the business folks. The current class is only business, and their textbook is clearly geared toward research within and for the benefit of businesses. I'm looking for alternatives which would work better for both business and psychology. Thoughts? TY!

Hi,
I'm interested in AI applications as applied to Ham Radio. Specifically, I'm interested in which manufacturers have or will soon have advanced capabilities in their kit. These capabilities can be any of the following:
- Signal classification and recognition: My interest is in advanced kit that automatically identifies and filters unwanted signals above and beyond current DSP capabilities. My major interest in this area is for automated logging and reporting of contacts.
- Antenna design and optimization: AI can be used to analyze complex antenna designs and optimize their performance for specific operating conditions. Are any manufacturers actually doing this? What products are available now or in the near future? I'm gearing up to buy some new kit and want to experiment with the cutting edge.
- Propagation prediction: AI can be used to predict radio propagation conditions based on historical data and real-time weather and solar activity information. From an efficiency perspective, I'm interested in optimizing operating frequencies and antenna configurations.
- Automatic speech recognition and translation: AI-powered speech recognition technology can be used to transcribe and translate voice communications in real-time. As an operator, I'd like to be able to communicate across language barriers.
- Contesting and DXing: AI algorithms can be used to optimize operating strategies for contesting and DXing, including automated station optimization, band selection, and frequency tuning. I'm not as interested in this area but want to understand "possibilities".
- Other? What's out there that's not on my radar yet?
Thanks,
Chris
I am currently doing my dissertation on 3d printing using alumina oxide and I decided to choose gears. However, I am stuck because I feel like I might have a solution to the wear and tear problems that metal gears go through which causes failure. But I realize I do not have a story. Which machine, industry or application do I want to test this gear? I want to talk to anyone who is currently researching in this area or has any idea about this area.
I would like to measure the chemical content of a gear surface to a depth of 1 mm. But there is a problem because the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (xps) method that I will use can only reach depths of a few nano.
Is there a possible method in spectroscopy to analyse the chemical content layer by layer of a metal up to a few millimetres thick?
Control of viruses is mostly geared towards manipulation of cultural practices.
Recently, I am working on project of analysis of spur gear in Abaqus and simulating the meshing stiffness of gears, but I have encountered some trouble. I don't know how to implement the extraction of gear deformation in Abaqus software.
Any help is appriciable.
Ghost gears produce microplastics inside the seawater and sediments. I want to know, I am looking for some models to show the relation between the number of microplastics and the number of ghost gears.
l have a polycarbonate sheet of a thickness 11.5 mm and I manufactured it as a spur gear, then I tried to check the stress fringe in a photoelastic test (plane polariscope) to find the bending strength of the gear teeth.....is that thickness is suitable for my model?
because the results seems to be lower than the analytical solution results
Created a single stage speed reducer in Adams view. Applied a constant torque on input gear. After simulation, plotted the torque vs time for output shaft. But torque curve is fluctuating not a constant one. As per theory the output torque must be gear ratio times the input torque. I'm not getting it in adams view
I have calculated the gear meshing frequency of planetary gearbox to be 786 Hz. However, when a FFT is performed on the data acquired for the same planetary gearbox I could see peak around 645 Hz and not at 786 Hz.
The calculated mesh frequency was done based on the speed and number of teeth. But the signals acquired during operation was under loaded condition.
Does external load change the natural frequency and meshing frequency of gear?
Is there any reference to calculate the theoretical gear mesh frequency in relationship with load.
Attached FFT plot.
Thanks in advance for sharing you knowledge.

I understand there will be exact multiple of fundamental frequency based bearing rotation with respect to fundamental, based on gear rotation with respect to fundamental. But what exactly means for multiples of bearing rotations, multiples of blade passes like 1x, 2x, 3x etc.,
How to calculate torque and forces (tangential, radial and axial) for a pair of spur gears when they are in meshing?
I am doing a project on power generation using multiple humps. Force is known. All the respective gear and shaft radii are known. y using this, this I can found torque using the relation T=F*l ...
I have a relation P=2 pi NT.. but in this relation power and rpm are unknown...
Is there anyway to find the power or rpm? Any other formula to find power with respect to rpm if available then please share.
Thanks
Electric Vehicles are gaining acceptability all over the world . Further, carbon emission concerns could bring in policy changes in future, thus, hampering the growth of IC based vehicles. EVs could be disruptive in nature slowly killing the market . If that scenario is going to take place, how would the leading manufactures and their ancillary units are going to gear up for the future. I request learned members to provide answers to this critical question which is going to impact the existing auto ecosystem.
Islamic Money
During the period of prophet (may peace be on him) not only Dinar and Dirham but also some homogenous commodities e.g., wheat and barley and dates were used as money. These derived their purchasing power from their intrinsic value. This continued during the period of Khulfae Rashidun (may Allah be pleased to them). Dinar and Dirham are most stable single commodity based measures of value and these were used as common medium of exchange and Shariah used these in description of its universal provisions. Thus these were used as measure of value and unit of account, and store of value and there is no disagreement on these issues. Sale on credit and Riba free loans Musharikah and Mudarabah were in practice, Riba was strictly prohibited and Zakah was imposed and these constituted the most important features of monetary and financial system of Islam. Therefore those who hold that Islam has no preferred monetary/financial system are clearly wrong.
Nothing other than common medium of exchange can perform measure of value function of money. However to perform as a measure it must be a highly reliable and stable measure of value/purchasing power. Shariah ordains utmost care to ensure just measurement and thus to be held to be Shariah compliant common medium of exchange must have most stable value. We may not emphasize other conditions as fulfillment of this condition normally ensures satisfactory performance of other functions. This ensures economic justice and efficient Market as well as allocative efficiency. Further other forms of money should be allowed restricted use to fulfill such other monetary needs of the economy that need to be met to ensure that monetary constraints do not hamper economic growth. Price as well as purchasing power of everything varies with respect to anything else due to relative changes in supply and demand. Purchasing power is normally measured with respect to a representative basket of national product. As regards freely floating fiat money a defined representative basket of national product is the right measure of its value and thus constancy of purchasing power of freely floating fiat money as normally determined implies that it will discharge the measure of value function of money efficiently. It follows that economic justice and growth in a non-exploitative (Reba free) economic system requires that monetary and fiscal policy be geared to ensure nil rate of inflation.

Currently, the records the eastern Libyan waters spread of the lionfish via reports posted on social media.
We understand that monitor and sampling campaigns are a powerful tool to increase databases for invasive species in the Libyan waters, also it's one effective way to quickly studies more of this species.
Sampling campaigns are a quick and simple way to increase knowledge about the successful establishment of the lionfish Pterois miles in Med waters . They allow researchers to collect a large amount of information in a short amount of time and help to get the most environmental awareness for local fisher.
We are launching a sample collection campaign for Lion fish in the Cyrenaica coast in the Libyan waters, given the fast nature of lionfish colonization , monitoring its invasive status, requires some special equipment's, samples are required to confirm the precise identity of the lionfish in question.
This equipment is not available in Libya.
Did you know where we can find an assortment of lionfish hunting gear and accessories free of charge? OR If Can anyone help us to provide this equipment free of charge.

My current research deals with multibody contact dynamics applied to the area of power transfer components such as gears. But after taking up a course related to human body motion, I was intrigued by the idea of modeling the dynamics of the human body and its potential applications in assistive devices and robotics.
I am looking for good summary papers on advances done in the field of "Dynamics and control of human body motion". Would appreciate it if people working in this domain could link me to relevant publications/ articles.
Thanks

Hi everyone. I am a PhD student. I have designed an educational manipulative and have to validate it with children. I am using between subject design for it. So there would be two groups- experimental (to be taught with my manipulative) and the control group (to be taught with regular black board method). I am however not sure about what should be the number of participants to be taken in each of the control and experimental groups? Is there a standard number that would be suffice for the PhD requirement? Also this is my last year and I need to gear things up so have to take an appropriate decision.
Any help would be truly appreciated.
Thank you.

I want to apply R language on fisheries analysis. R program become common in fisheries analysis, so I need to benefit in my work ( in fishing gear data analysis). so , I wish if any one give me R- package of fisheries analysis especially fishing gear selectivity.
Imagine a platoon, such as the "peloton" in a cycling competition or cars on a highway, where the players benefit from travelling close to each other due to wind drag reduction. If each speed would be determined by the optimal operating points stemming from their bikes, aerodynamics and body. For example, player 1, might be optimal (in terms of fuel efficiency) at a specific gear and given a specific cadence. Each player will propose changes to each other, such that each one will give a proposal to the player(s) which are obstructing its optimal trajectory. Negotiations, from say player 2 to player 1 (where player 1 is in front of player 2) such as "pedal 1 m/s faster and you'll get 1 buck", where the new speeds and compensations will be calculated individually from each cyclist such that the prize is lower than the potential "fuel cost" that player 2 would experience from operating at non optimal speeds. These proposals are then accepted or denied. I'm thinking that these proposals should then converge to some optimum where no members in the platoon will benefit from changing its strategy, hence a kind of Nash equilibrium.
I'm fairly new to game theory, but I want to formulate this problem as a game theoretical one, to see where these proposals would converge, and how to prove it. How would I begin?
I model and simulate the contact between two gear. I applied torque on one of the gears and I fix the other using fix displacement in Ansys. Automatic contact detects the contact between gears teeth. The contact type as default is bonded. However, it must be either frictionless or frictional.
By changing to frictionless the simulation become nonlinear.
Despite all of my attempt, the solver does not converge. I change many setting, however, I could not get result.
I have mathematical equations deduced from the dynamic model of the gear for one DOF of gear system. How to simulate those equation in matlab to generate signals, so that post processing of signals, the behavior of gearbox can be interpreted.

As we all know, the DNA is an information carrier. It contains several disctinct codes of which the protein code is the best known. Since about 20 years we know that the protein code is optimized for error buffering. Of more than 2.4 x 10^18 possible codes the protein code is optimal together with a score of additional protein codes, which we also observe in living systems. How do we understand this extreme fine tuning? Is there a scientific explanation why the first cells were geared with an optimal code? Is it even possible to evolve an optimal code, given that the age of the earth is about 4.54 billion years old?
I'm working on a Project to improve the vehicle Position accuracy based on vehicle data.

Hi all!
I'm conducting a bit of independent research on humanitarians and their perceptions of safety and security at home and abroad among other things. However, I'm finding distribution of the survey I've created especially difficult as there are really few places that allow for promotion of research materials geared specifically to humanitarians (especially as an independent researcher). Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? How did you overcome it?
1. Lubricants for transformers
2. lubricants for turbines
3. engine oil - 1
4. Greases
5. Lubricants for gears, bearings and lubricants
Very interesting results, although based on my own research I suspect that the actual mechanisms for the observed effects have to do with induction of systemic resistance by exposure to the conidia, rather than the actual endophytism presence. Lots of microorganisms have been shown to induce SR in a wide range of plants, and this phenomenon has become accepted in the plant pathology community. Also, I have to note my gears that EU regulators are getting very nervous about the endophytic nature of these entomopathogenic fungi and the metabolites they may be releasing. I fear that EU, and maybe even USEPA, too, will increase data requirements for registration, data to reflect the safety of produce colonized by Beauveria etc. We already saw this with the Austrian uproar about oosporein released into the environment in infected pasture grubs. Considerable research hard to demonstrate that they amount of this metabolite was of no concern, and registration of a Beauveria was greatly delayed.
Dear professional people,
I have a very tricky motor I want to control but I cannot release the brake cuz it is tight and manufacturer does not care to give proper detail.
Here are the specs:
Motor Specifications:
- Brushless DC motor
- 25V, 50A capacity (Need to confirm again)
- Rated 600W, continuous 400W
- 3 phase 6 pole Hall element
- 18 pulses per rotation
1. 25V at 50A, they said the motor could go up to 100A according to the plot they showed us. The value is referred as the Input power. I saw in the motor specification the Torque is 2.01 Nm.
2. The Electric Brake is tricky. First you need to supply 24V at around 0.54A and then it can be decreased. Since there is some current protection, the positive (+) terminal is the one connected to pin 4 of connector CN5/D from FD Base Controller.
3. In other picture you can see the tire diameter of 260 mm. And the gear ratio of 1/27 and then the motor. No additional gear ratio to consider. 18 pulses per revolution ( 967 pulse or 6kph)
4. No data for Thermal ratio. However, there is a 10kohm thermistor that is used for temperature sensing. If I am not wrong, if current is around 45A ( never happened) the base will shut down.
5. Max rpm of 4750
6. Cable is AWG 14, U is white and V is red
Please a help is ok.
Thanks
Dear All,
Can you help me in disseminating this EU Fisheries and Aquacolture Products Database?
The European Union (EU) Fisheries and Aquaculture Products Database of the EU database on fishery and aquaculture products, is NOW ONLINE! It is an information system on the commercial names of fishery and aquaculture products marketed in the EU. The database is the result of a pilot project that involves several partners, including the National Research Council - Institute of Marine Sciences (CNR-ISMAR) of Ancona (Italy), funded by the European Union and co-ordinated by the Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DGMARE). The project aims to provide a complete information system, available in all official EU languages. The purpose of this information system is to provide consumers and all stakeholders with information on fishery and aquaculture products through a centralized multilingual system. The information system focuses primarily on trade names. It also includes species names, FAO codes, marketing standards, catch zones and fishing gear. The system is a reference point for all users in the EU, whether they are consumers, traders, or control authorities.
You can easely find the database site by copy and paste the following link:
Your suggestions, your directions, and more generally all your observations are very important. To help you with this task, we've created an online questionnaire that will take you a few minutes of compilation but will provide us with important information to improve and modify the web portal more effectively. The questionnaire can be reached at the following link (both in Italian and English):
Hopefully you will find the service offered by this useful portal, thank you for your cooperation.

When indoor ambient conditions affect or initiate certain behavior, the mechanics of this type of learning can be viewed from an environmental psychology perspective (Mehrabian, & Russell, 1974; Pati & Barach, 2010). In fact, the pressure of task performance in a compromised learning environment can cause students to rationalize the outcome their learning based on these conditions and display actions geared toward dealing with the immediate surroundings (Wechsler, 1958).
This summer, my lab will try using a brail to survey non-wadeable river reaches for freshwater mussels. We have no experience using the gear, and older technical reports often do not report tow length. Past experiences would assist with our selection of tow lengths to try out.
i am running simulation of nose landing gear. when i gave 0.07 secs end time then its running for days and when i gave 7*10^-6 secs then its took a day. is there anything wrong in my steps ? how to decide correct end so that impact of object can be done?
In ANSYS we get different stresses for gears under contact. So which stress should be used to compare with Hertzian contact stress.
Hi everyone,
Few days ago we released a male bottlenose dolphin entangled in fishing gear remains in Ecuador. Although we have noticed before some deformities in the tail of this animal, it is just until now we could see them in more detail and take pictures. We noticed the tail of this animal was damaged and deformed three years ago when he was hurt apparently by a boat propeller.
Flukes surface and borders were covered with dozens of hard nodules of different size (2-10 cm in diameter) where fishing gear remains was hooked producing blooding wounds. Nodules look firm, well defined, covered with skin and did not appear externally infected. On flukes surface nodules tended to spread. There is no particular pigmentation, although in those nodules in the borders the skin was pealed off. No nodules were noticed in other parts of the dolphin's body. It is not clear how serious is this particular condition but apparently it does not interfered with his normal activities. Up to 2018 this and other male companion were the males with highest rank in this dolphin community.
A video of the dolphin rescue with close up images can be seen in this link:
Thanks in advance

Different soil compounds exist in the soil and as such tend to either accelerate or decelerate the rate of decomposition of human remains. Hence may alter a soft tissue forensic examination. This questions gears towards the proper understanding the effects of these compounds on both surface and buried remains.
The question I have here is related to the torque. I have calculated torque for a mass of 300 kg as 700 Nm for a rotational speed of 300 rpm. (I only need a maximum speed of 10 Kph). Is it possible to use a 500 W motor with speed 2000 rpm, and reduce the speed via a gear or a pulley to 300 rpm thereby increasing the torque ??? Thanks in advance.
Ok, I'll try and keep this short: For the few of you who might know me, I'm a English grad student at West Chester University, and I'm currently in the middle of writing my MA thesis. One of the key components to my research will be a survey of gamers in the Metal Gear community, looking at perceptions of in-game morality and the potential for player-character/character-player transferability of morality.
Here's the problem - as I've already noted, I'm in the English department, so it'll be pretty easy for you all to assume that mathematics isn't necessarily my strong suit, let alone the analysis of data and statistics. I was wondering if anybody is aware of a good resource, either online or as a physical text (hopefully reasonably priced), that can actually teach me the fundamentals of interpreting the data when the time comes. I'm sure there's a "...For Dummies" book out there, but in my experience those aren't always necessarily the best option. Any help in this matter is deeply appreciated.

High Strength steels for gears
I'm writing a dissertation on Dynamic Capability theory, looking at UK technology startups. I'm trying to put together a questionnaire to find the extent to which DCT affects key decision makers in tech startups and if it has an impact on strategic advantage.
Have there been many questionnaires used already in this field which would be good for inspiration? I am new to forming questionnaire studies and the analysis involved.
I have found a couple that look good, but are a bit more geared towards a more specific area of study. I'm doing a Masters dissertation rather than a PhD thesis.
This is obviously quite early stage, but I'd appreciate the odd pointer in the right direction.
Hello, everyone.
I am modelling a self-blocking worm gear in adams. I have two questions:
1. does the reference diameter in the fig.1 mean pitch diameter of the worm gear? I find the the explanation in the adams document that
"Adams Machinery will issue a warning if the user entered helix angle lies ±0.5o beyond the correct helix angle given by formula:
tan-1 (module*(number of teeth or number of start on WORM) /
WORM reference diameter))."
it is consuing for me.
2. I try the self-blocking parameters for the worm gear, but the worm gear is still able to move even if i put the friction coeffient very large like 10 or 20. I am not sure that if there is a bug in adams.
thanks for you time.

Manufacturing has taken a leap forward from manual systems to IOT to industry 4.0, It is now time to switch gears and focus on new avenues
I have a deep groove ball bearing (NSK make). I wish to introduce artificial faults in the outer race and inner race such that I can study their signal characteristics. I am facing two situations:
- EDM is not available at our workshop. Kindly suggest other methods which can be applied (or is generally applied) to create the faults (spall, holes etc.).
- Another issue I am facing is regarding the dismantling of the bearing. The bearing has steel riveted cage, so once I dismantle the bearing, the cage gets destroyed and the bearing cannot be reassembled for my analysis. What is the standard procedure adopted by researchers in such situations?
Hey,
I'm simulating the contact of two moving gears in ANSYS Workbench (Static Structural) with multiple load steps and would like to evaluate the stresses in a radial cross section to better see stresses underneath the surface .
Is there a method in ANSYS Workbench to evaluate the stresses across a cross section? I know you can make a section cut of the simulated bodies with the options in the bottom right corner, but is there a way to create an additional stress result on that cut surface?
From searching for the problem on the internet I gathered that it might be possible to do with cutting the body prior to the simulation in e.g. Design Modeler and then create a result on the cut surface. I tried that and it works but I get some weird stress concentrations in the cut region that were not there before cutting the gear bodies. I also heard somewhere that it should be possible to do in APDL, but I didn't find any example of that.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Regards
Paul
I did this process base on the following link:
- Open up settings and then go to WiFi.
- Now, you will see a gear on the top of this screen, click it. But if you don’t see it, look for “Configure WiFi” option and click it. Some Android system have Advanced option in WiFi, MAC address can be found there also.
- Voila ! You can find the MAC address on the bottom of this screen. Keep a note of it.
- In order to get the interface name, you will have to install Terminal Emulator for Android. Go to Google Play Store and download it or click the link to get it.
- Once you download it, install it and open up.
- Type the following command : ip link
- You screen will be filled with lot of information, useful and useless. Now, remember I told you to keep a note of your MAC address. Just look for this MAC address under “link/ether” for all the cases.
- The one that matches our MAC address, is the connection name. For most of the devices it is either “wlan0” or “eth0”.
Now, that we know our MAC address and the connection name, we can go on to change the MAC address with this terminal emulator only. Before that you should have a valid MAC address in your mind or generate one from this link. Once, you have a new MAC address, just get on with the below steps:
- Launch the Terminal Emulator
- Just type the following command: ip link set wlan0 address XX:XX:XX:YY:YY:YY, where wlan0 is the name of the interface and XX:XX:XX:YY:YY:YY is the MAC address you want to set.
- Important thing to keep in mind that the manufacturer name should be kept unchanged while changing the MAC address i.e. XX:XX:XX (first 6 digits) should be same as before, otherwise you might face a lot of authentication issue.
- This is only a temporary change and when you restart your device, your previous MAC address will be retrieved back."

Hey,
I'm currently modelling a helical gear pair in Static Structural (Ansys 19.1) to find the contact stresses on the teeth under a certain load. I'm also interested in the shear stresses just under the surface of the teeth, therefore I added the Inflation option to my mesh. However this option greatly increases the element count in my model. I attached a picture to show my current mesh. Depicted there is a section cut through both gears, to show the mesh on the inside.
I could of course just reduce the layer count of the inflation, but I'm curious if there is a better option to get a finer mesh on the inside. So the question would be if there is a better alternative to inflation to more finely mesh my parts just under the surface? Or is there another method to reduce the element count?
Regards

Hello,
I am looking at permeable/leaky dams and trying to ascertain if they play any part in reducing nutrient load within the water course.
I have seen various methods of testing but unsure what to go for? The Labs are not really geared up for water analysis so, field testing with be used then some basic lab work.
What methods or suggestions do people have? Am I looking at the wrong things, something better to look for than N and P?
Thanks in advance
I am facing problem in boundary condition while simulating single stage planetary gearbox. Sun gear is rotating rest of the gear are not not rotating
1. What are the possible ways for calculating vehicle speed depends on the main operating data (Without sensor)?
2. How to calculate engine rpm without having the vehicle speed (km/hr)?
We may use the data from the major sensors in the vehicle.
the very basic one is to calculate the speed depending on engine rpm, gear ratio, and tire radius.
What else?
we are trying to estimate the jerk a tripper vehicle can feel when it get stucked in mine. So what the driver does is he engage the reverse gear and press accelerator pedal at full. So it has been observed that at that time the engine input toque increases at a high rate for a moment of time which is far greater than the engine toque and vehicle feels the jerk. so we want to estimate that increased torque. I need some analytical calculations to fine out the toque in the input shaft which rises to peak for a very small period of time.
We as researchers or development practitioners are all working in areas that are ultimately geared at achieving one or more of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals dubbed "Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development." However have we steadfastly ignored the elephant in the room which is "Are we on track to achieve the SDGs by 2030? What can everyone do to accelerate sustainable development?

Dear Sir , i am working on Gear Bearing Analysis , i would like to know apart from vibration parameter if we only consider the temperature what would be significance in the analysis .Warm regards | Nabi
The shaft of a gearbox is to be designed where the power, torque and RPM of the motor are known.
The number of teeth on pinion, gear, driver and driven sprocket are known. Also, the weights of gear and sprocket are known. Pitch circle diameter of the driver sprocket is assumed.
Im currently investigating the frictional contact and bending stress in a helical gear pair in ANSYS Workbench, using a Static structural analysis.
Contact:
Frictional, Augmented Lagrange.
Mesh:
Tetrahedral, refined in areas of contact.
Support:
I have prescribed my gear with a cylindrical fixed support where the gear mounts on a shaft, and a cylindrical support on the pinion, which allows it to rotate around its own axis.
Load:
I have applied a moment on the pinion, on the same cylindrical face where the support is.
My problem is that my contact stresses seem extreme, which I think might be due to a low contact ratio, as it seems the surface stress only occurs at the end of the teeth where one tooth is "rolling" into engagement and the adjacent one is "rolling" out of engagement.
Do I need to change my modelling strategy? Or may the problem simply be due to inaccuracies in the tooth geometries?
Thank you in advance!
Is the anaylis of planetary gear deals about just velocity analysis or power flow and efficiency ?
Please provide some material for reading your work.
Dear sir
I am going to prepare the inertia run down test rig to investigate churning loss.inertia run down method is designed only for single gear or gear pair.
thanks
The idea is to transmit rotation without using gears, chains or pulleys.
