Abstract
MARTINEZ DELFIN, Angel and DE LAS CASAS TOMAS, Irma. Automated methods in the learning of calculation of gears in the formation of the mechanical engineer. trf [online]. 2020, vol.16, n.1, pp. 76-89. Epub Jan 01, 2020. ISSN 2077-2955.
Objective:
The paper aims at devising an alternative for teaching and learning how to calculate the capacity of the load of the cylindrical gears with the use of automated methods. This alternative is based on a mathematic model of the locus of the points of the contour of the teeth in polar coordinates.
Methods:
Using synthetic analytical methods and statistical mathematics, it was possible to perform the referred calculation and proposing a teaching method.
Results:
The text illustrated that it is possible to instruct the students to calculate gear load capacity by means of automated procedures. Likewise, the need for a new teaching method to deal with gears is argued. This method fosters students learning of professional techniques to examine gears and how to distinguish worn-out properties.
Conclusion:
The introduction of automated methods to learn how to calculate the capacity of the load of the cylindrical gears facilitates students learning and the development of professional competencies of the would-be mechanical engineer.
