Computer Simulation of Gear Tooth Manufacturing Processes

Abstract

This report discusses the use of computer graphics to simulate gear tooth manufacturing procedures. An analytical basis for the simulation is established for spur gears. The simulation itself, however, is developed not only for spur gears, but for straight bevel gears as well. The applications of the developed procedure extend from the development of finite elements models of heretofore intractable geometrical forms, to exploring the fabrication of nonstandard tooth forms.
