The Gear and Power Transmission Research Laboratory (GearLab) at The Ohio State University announces two upcoming educational opportunities: the Basic and the Advanced Gear Noise Short Courses. Details are as follows:
Basic Gear Noise Short Course: June 10-12, 2009
This course has been offered for over 30 years and is considered extremely valuable for gear designers and noise specialists 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 gear noise generation and gear noise measurement will be covered along with topics on gear rattle, transmission dynamics, and housing acoustics. This course includes extensive demonstrations of specialized 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. Cost: $1,590
Advanced Gear Noise Short Course: June 15-16, 2009
This advanced session is an extension of the basic course and will be taught through lectures on selected topics coupled with a series of hands-on workshops. Based upon their interests the attendees may select from the following topics: analytical and computer modeling (prediction of gear whine excitations, general system dynamics, bearing/casing dynamics, gear rattle models); and experimental and computational approaches (modal analysis of casings, acoustic radiation, advanced signal processing, sound quality analysis, transmission error measurement). Cost: $1,090
