Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExperimental Study of Load Sharing in Roller-Bearing Contact by Caustics and PhotoelasticityKonstandinos G. Raptis, George A. Papadopoulos, Theodore N. Costopoulos, Andonios D. TsolakisProblem statement: In this study a comprehensive methodology for calculating load sharing in Roller-bearing contact was presented based on the experimental stress-optical method of caustics and Photoelasticity. Approach: The theoretical equations describing the geometry of transmitted caustic in relation to the length of the contact zone were derived and a simple mathematical set of equations correlating the maximum diameter of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2011 · 8,397 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRating of Spur Gear Strength Using Photoelasticity and the Finite Element MethodKonstandinos G. Raptis, Theodore N. Costopoulos, Georgios A. Papadopoulos, Αndonios D. TsolakisProblem statement: Toothed gears are some of the most used machine elements for motion and power transmission between rotating shafts. This fact induces the need for improved reliability and higher endurance, which require precise and clear knowledge of the gear tooth stress field during meshing. Approach: This study considered the calculation of maximum stress at gear tooth root when the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,879 accessesView PDF Cite
