1102

The Basic Gear Noise Short Course has been offered for more than 20 years and is considered extremely valuable for gear designers and noise specialists alike who encounter gear noise and transmission design problems. Attendees will learn how to design gears to minimize the major excitations of gear noise: transmission error, dynamic friction forces, and shuttling forces. Fundamentals of noise generation and measurement will be covered, along with topics on gear rattle, transmission dynamics, and housing acoustics. This course includes extensive demonstrations of special gear analysis software in addition to the demonstrations of many Ohio State gear test rigs. A unique feature of the course is the interactive workshop session that invites attendees to discuss their specific gear and transmission noise concerns.

The Advanced Gear Noise Short Course is directed toward individuals who have previously attended the Basic Gear Noise Short Course. This course will be taught through lectures on selected topics coupled with a series of hands-on workshops. Based upon the interest of attendees, the following topics may be included: 1) Computer modeling: transmission error prediction, general system dynamics, bearing/casing dynamics, gear rattle models; 2) Experimental approaches: modal analysis of casings, acoustic radiation, advanced signal processing, sound quality analysis, transmission error measurement.
