An adequate mathematical model for studying the efficiency of a reducing gear

In the modern scientific world, experimental studies are not carried out without designing the experiment. The students, future mechanical engineers, must acquire knowledge in designing multifactor experiments, the application of mathematical models, and analysis of the results during experimental studies. The «Theory of Mechanisms and Machines» Department at Bauman Moscow State Technical University applies Bezier curves for modeling during the laboratory work on gearbox efficiency. This makes it possible to conduct more complicated experiments without increasing their duration by using more efficient mathematical tools, which allows creating efficient models. The software package designed on the basis of the proposed techniques allows students to conduct experiments more effectively, analyze the data more accurately, and eliminate crude errors.
