Optimizing Load Spectra for Gears

Life expectancy of gear systems extended. NASA document presents algorithm for gear-load-spectrum synthesis (GLSS) as aid in choosing best load spectrum for machine containing gears. Objective of GLSS: Determine best schedule or combination of load elements-one that yields longest possible fatigue life for machine.
