Abstract
Gear and belts/chains are the most common solution for modern mechanical devices. The allowable stress and gear ratio are two of the main factors that decide the performance of the ear section for transmission. The allowable stress can be calculated by bending stress and contact stress from design criteria. The performance of the belt solution is decided by the belt/chain material, center distance and the belt length. The allowable strength of the belt/chain solution is strongly related to the materials selected. With the current study of belts and gears, the related factors could be calculated to design the optimum shape and material. Dual clutch transmission (DCT) and continuously variable transmission (CVT) are two widely applied transmissions with gear and belt/chain solutions that are introduced in the research. The advantages of DCT could be the reliability and high transmission efficiency of the gear solution and the space and energy efficiency of belt/chain structure advantages of the CVT. Both DCT and CVT could be applied in different conditions to maximize the specific performance.
