Development of a free-form tooth flank optimization method to improve pitting resistance of spur gears

Although steel involute gears are the standard solution for gear transmissions, they tend to suffer from poor pitting resistance. Pitting typically occurs when the gear tooth flanks have high equivalent curvature at the contact point and/or when the equivalent curvature is not constant across the co...
