The problem of the deflection of spur gear teeth has been previously investigated analytically by several authors. Two of the papers dealing with this topic were written by Timoshenko and Baud (18)t and Marin and Shenk (11). Both papers employ the cantilever beam approach in which the spur gear tooth is represented as a rigidly supported, cantilever beam of uniform thickness tapered in the plane of load application. Deflection is considered to be caused by bending moment, shearing force, and Hertzian pressure at the point of load application. Two additional papers were written by Weber (25) and Attia (3) in which the actual involute gear tooth was considered to be an elastically supported cantilever beam rather than rigidly clamped at the root of the tooth. Likewise, circumferential deformation of the gear body was considered. However, the derived equations for the total deflection due to these effects are exceedingly complicated and require the use of numerical methods for their solution since some of the equations are in integral form. / Master of Science

An interactive program is presented which enhances the design of external spur gears cut by a hob. The program code calculates the geometry of an involute spur gear with trochoidal fillets and then uses the Graphical Kernel System (GKS), CADAM, and MOVIE.BYU to represent and display the gear. GKS, an international standard, is used to represent the gear in two dimensions; while the CAD/CAM system CADAM and the software package MOVIE.BYU accurately create wireframe geometric design models in three dimensions. Examples of the input parameters needed and each of the software packages in use are shown and explained. / M.S.

Scour around various structures obstructing flow in an open channel is a common problem; therefore a better understanding of how turbulent flow affects sediment transport is needed. Additionally, is it the mean flow or the turbulence properties that are more important in contributing to bed shear stress? To this end, an experimental study was conducted in a fixed-bed flume containing a series of dikes. Turbulence intensities and Reynold's stresses were calculated from 3-D velocity measurements gathered with a microADV. Results showed that the maximum shear stress was nearly 12-20 times that of the approach flow, while maximum turbulence intensities were about 3-5 times those of the incoming flow. Highest magnitudes of both were seen at the tip of the second dike in the three-dike series. The mean velocity appeared to have no relation to the formation of scour near the tips of the dikes but the turbulence intensities did.
