Abstract
The author of the article applied the boundary element method (BEM) to determine stresses occurring in a toothed rim of a flexspline. The relevant numerical calculations were conducted using software developed at the Faculty of Transport of the Silesian University of Technology. The numerical analysis conducted for flexsplines entailed the impact exerted by parameters of an indented toothed flexspline rim (number of teeth, addendum modification coefficient) and of a gear tool (gear tool head curve radius, pressure angle) on values of the stresses occurring at the tooth space bottom. Results of the said calculations have been depicted as curves of dependences between stresses at the tooth space bottom in the function of the number of flexspline rim teeth on constant values of the addendum modification coefficient. The cumulative diagrams developed based on the results of the calculations conducted may provide guidelines as to the manner of designing flexsplines for harmonic drives.
