Analysis of Transient Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication of Asymmetric Polymer Gear
Polymer gears are light and corrosion resistant, which can reduce noise and improve economic benefits. Correspondingly, polymer gear teeth are weaker than metal ones, so asymmetric design is adopted to improve the strength of polymer gear.
