`IdealGear`

This element characterizes any type of gear box which is fixed in the ground and which has one driving shaft and one driven shaft.

This component extends from PartialElementaryTwoSplinesAndSupport

Parameters:

Name	Description	Units	Default value
`ratio`	Transmission ratio	–

Connectors

spline_a - (Spline)
spline_b - (Spline)
support - (Spline)

Variables

Name	Description	Units
`phi_support`	Absolute angle of support spline	rad
`phi_a`	Relative angle between shaft a and the support	rad
`phi_b`	Relative angle between shaft b and the support	rad

\[ \begin{align} \mathtt{support.phi}\left( t \right) &= \mathtt{phi\_support}\left( t \right) \\ \mathtt{support.tau}\left( t \right) &= - \mathtt{spline\_b.tau}\left( t \right) - \mathtt{spline\_a.tau}\left( t \right) \\ \mathtt{phi\_a}\left( t \right) &= - \mathtt{phi\_support}\left( t \right) + \mathtt{spline\_a.phi}\left( t \right) \\ \mathtt{phi\_b}\left( t \right) &= \mathtt{spline\_b.phi}\left( t \right) - \mathtt{phi\_support}\left( t \right) \\ \mathtt{phi\_a}\left( t \right) &= \mathtt{ratio} \mathtt{phi\_b}\left( t \right) \\ 0 &= \mathtt{spline\_b.tau}\left( t \right) + \mathtt{ratio} \mathtt{spline\_a.tau}\left( t \right) \end{align} \]
