This article presents a model of the geometry of teeth profiles based on the path of contact definition. The basic principles of the involute and convex–concave teeth profile generation are described. Due to the more difficult manufacturing of the convex–concave gear profile in comparison to the involute one, an application example was defined that suppressed this disadvantage, namely a planetary gearbox with plastic-injection-molded gears commonly used in vehicle back-view mirror positioners. The contact pressures and the slide ratios of the sun, planet, and ring gears with both teeth profile variants were observed and the differences between the calculated parameters are discussed.

“…The urgent need for energy consumption reduction of electric passenger cars thus opens up new challenges in research. Example topics cover the lightening of the vehicular structure employing composite and non-conventional materials (Belingardi et al, 2010;Borazjani and Belingardi, 2017) and incentive systems for reducing the aggressiveness of the driving style (Alvarez et al, 2014;Ferreira et al, 2014;Knowles et al, 2012). Particularly, optimisation of the powertrain design and operation currently represents a fundamental procedure for extending the range of BEVs (Danapalasingam, 2013;Ganeshaperumal et al, 2016;Srinivasa Rao et al, 2014;Urbina Coronado et al, 2014;.…”

The current transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) requires the development and implementation of novel design methodologies. This paper introduces an original design procedure for battery electric light vehicle powertrains based on rapid brute force optimisation. At first, a large design space is generated by sweeping the relevant design parameters, specifically the motor size, the number of gears and the transmission ratios. Analytical modelling for electric vehicle powertrains is then presented and combined with lookup tables for the actual system components. The feasible candidate designs are identified by introducing evaluation criteria for the transmission ratios according to the vehicle and electric machine data considered. Subsequently, these candidate designs are evaluated in terms of both launching performance and energy consumption by adopting an efficiency based gear-shifting strategy. Optimal designs can finally be graphically identified through a Pareto frontier analysis as effectively demonstrated in the case of four actual vehicles of different classes. The methodology introduced efficiently addresses the non-linear multidimensional optimisation problem of electric vehicle powertrain design.

“…Composites as energy absorber, light-weight and anti-corrosion materials are the perfect substitutions for metallic structure specifically in the case of impact [2]. Although these materials have not the possibility for plastic deformation due to their brittle nature, they have high stiffness and strength-to-weight ratios [2]. Several works have been done on investigating the energy absorption and crashworthiness of composite.…”

Contemporary vehicles have an increasing number of bodywork elements made of composites. Their advantages are undoubtedly weight reduction and increased corrosion resistance. On the other hand, accidental repairs are becoming difficult, however, in case of minor deformation there is often no permanent deformation. The authors researched the issue of the strength of composite bodyworks varies over time and in case of minor accidental damage, qualifying the element for further use. The paper presents the results of research on the structure and strength of composite body elements of selected vehicles. Undamaged components and plating parts that were damaged in collisions were examined.
