Tooth Contact Analysis of Profile-Shifted Face Gear with Double-Crowned Pinion by Li Wei, Wang Dan, Fu Xuezhong

“…The coordinate systems for the processing and driving of the profile-shifted spur pinion with double-crowned and the profile-shifted face gear are established,the tooth surface equations of the profile-shifted pinion and the profile-shifted face gear are deduced,while the tooth surface is simulated for visualization.The modified tooth surface is precisely represented by a sum of two vector functions that determine the theoretical tooth surface and deviation surface.The tooth contact analysis is conducted for the alignment errors of the driving system,and the tooth contact path and the transmission error are computed.The results show that it enables the transmission error to form second order parabolic function with opening down through this method,the sensitivity of contact patch for the alignment errors is reduced,and the meshing performance of profile-shifted face gear drive is improved.…”

Memory Mining and Spatial Transformation of Daily Landscape in Renewal of Tianjin Old City by Chunyan ZHANG, Xinyi ZHANG, Tianying HOU

“…Consequently, redeveloped old urban areas often lose their unique cultural identity, exhibit issues of homogenization, functional inadequacy, and spatial fragmentation. To address these challenges, this research aims to explore various carriers of urban daily landscape memory across different historical periods, systematically excavate the embedded memories, and establish meaningful connections between these memories and the spatial characteristics of daily landscapes, so as to strengthen residents sense of cultural identity, facilitate the co-development of urban vitality through the empathetic power of daily landscapes.Methods1) Selection basis for landscape memory entities: The research is grounded in the integrated perception of landscape and human interaction articulated in the European Landscape Convention. …”
