Trying to figure out a formula for the amount of teeth and amount of gears for a pound of force delivered.
Astronuc said:This is a mechanical engineering/design problem, and not suitable for the tutorial section. I shall move it accordingly.
The number (and size) of teeth will depend on the diameter of the gear (root, or mean, or peak), and the stress limit criteria, which depends on the material.
FredGarvin said:It doesn't work like that. You need to know the loads you will be transmitting through the gear teeth. You assume, worst case, that only a single tooth will be engaged at a time. There is no easy plug and chug equation to do this. This is why optical techniques and FEA are used to describe the very complex stress distributions around gear teeth.
The purpose of my science project is to investigate and explore a specific scientific topic or question. It involves conducting research, collecting data, and analyzing results to draw conclusions and gain a better understanding of the topic.
I came up with the idea for my science project by exploring my interests and curiosity in a certain scientific area. I also searched for inspiration through reading articles, attending science fairs, and brainstorming with my peers and mentors.
The process of conducting a science project involves several steps. First, I formulate a hypothesis or question to investigate. Then, I plan and design my experiment, including identifying variables, materials, and procedures. Next, I gather and analyze data, and finally, I draw conclusions and communicate my findings.
To ensure the accuracy of my results in a science project, I follow the scientific method and use appropriate research methods and experimental controls. I also repeat my experiments multiple times and compare my results to those of others in the field.
From my science project, I have learned how to ask meaningful questions, design a controlled experiment, and collect and analyze data. I have also gained a deeper understanding of a specific scientific topic and how to communicate my findings effectively.
