Currently, mechanical gears with cycloid engagement are increasingly used in mechanisms along with involute ones. In modern drive mechanisms, using pin gears and gears with intermediate rolling elements (IRE) is widespread, which simultaneously use cycloid gears. To a greater extent, pin gears are now being investigated, but IRE gears have their undeniable advantages. Many works are devoted to the study of cycloid toothing for certain gears, but the efficiency, especially that of IRE gears, has practically not been investigated. Therefore, the analysis of power losses in the engagement of a gear with IRE and a free cage (IREFC) is relevant. In this analysis, the authors of the work have used laws of mechanics, methods of energy flows and a secant normal. Mathematical expressions have been obtained to estimate slip speeds and power friction losses in the engagement of a gear with IREFC, and a formula has been derived to determine the efficiency of a mentioned mechanical transmission. The calculation of slip speeds and power losses at the points of contact of a rolling element with cycloid profiles of wheels for selected initial parameters of a gear with IREFC has been presented. The friction power and the overall efficiency of the entire gear engagement have also been calculated. This work shows that power friction losses at the points of contact of a rolling element with cycloid profiles of tooth wheels of a gear with IREFC are not the same. The friction power in the contact of a rolling element with a cycloid profile of a cam is an order of magnitude higher than the friction power in the contact of a rolling element with a cycloid profile of a crown.

Various curvatures can be drawn between two different points. However, what curve will yield the fastest descent for an object to travel from the higher point to the lower point under the force of gravity alone? This essay utilizes theoretical methods such as calculus, optimization, and parametric equations and experimental approaches to show that a curve - shaped like a cycloid - will yield the fastest descent. This conclusion has practical applications for the design of roller coaster trajectories along with other entertainment facilities.

Multiferroics have attracted strong interest for potential applications where electric fields control magnetic order. The ultimate speed of control via magnetoelectric coupling, however, remains largely unexplored. Here, we report an experiment in which we drove spin dynamics in multiferroic TbMnO3 with an intense few-cycle terahertz (THz) light pulse tuned to resonance with an electromagnon, an electric-dipole active spin excitation. We observed the resulting spin motion using time-resolved resonant soft x-ray diffraction. Our results show that it is possible to directly manipulate atomic-scale magnetic structures with the electric field of light on a sub-picosecond time scale.

Antiferromagnetic thin films are currently generating considerable excitement for low dissipation magnonics and spintronics. However, while tuneable antiferromagnetic textures form the backbone of functional devices, they are virtually unknown at the submicron scale. Here we image a wide variety of antiferromagnetic spin textures in multiferroic BiFeO 3 thin films that can be tuned by strain and manipulated by electric fields through room-temperature magnetoelectric coupling. Using piezoresponse force microscopy and scanning NV magnetometry in self-organized ferroelectric patterns of BiFeO 3 , we reveal how strain stabilizes different types of non-collinear antiferromagnetic states (bulk-like and exotic spin cycloids) as well as collinear antiferromagnetic textures. Beyond these local-scale observations, resonant elastic X-ray scattering confirms the existence of both types of spin cycloids. Finally, we show that electric-field control of the ferroelectric landscape induces transitions either between collinear and non-collinear states or between different cycloids, offering perspectives for the design of reconfigurable antiferromagnetic spin textures on demand. Tailoring antiferromagnetic domains is critical for the development of low-dissipative spintronic and magnonic devices. Here the authors demonstrate the control of antiferromagnetic spin textures in multiferroic bismuth ferrite thin films using strain and electric fields.

The change of the milling force during the milling process will directly affect the machining accuracy of the cycloid gear. In this article, the milling force prediction model of the cycloidal gear is used to predict the milling force of the cycloid gear. The results show that when the spindle speed increases, the milling force gradually decreases; the milling force is also closely related to the feed speed, axis milling depth and radial milling width. With the increase of axial milling depth and radial milling width, the milling force gradually increases, but the magnitude of the increase is different.

The paper is devoted to the development of an algorithm for the automated calculation of force characteristics of cycloid toothing when the initial parameters vary widely. The algorithm forms a structured data array that accelerates finding and outputting the necessary parameters and reduces the probability of error in determining these parameters. The algorithm serves the basis for a program that allows for the examination of the change in force and geometrical parameters in various combinations. The study includes the analysis of the dependence of forces and contact stresses in transmission toothing with intermediate rolling elements and a free cage on the initial parameters of this transmission. The obtained results will make it possible to select optimal combinations of initial parameters in order to minimize the force impact on the mechanism parts when designing modern compact mechanisms based on the cycloid with intermediate rolling elements and a free cage.

As CMOS technologies face challenges in dimensional and voltage scaling, the demand for novel logic devices has never been greater, with spin-based devices offering scaling potential, at the cost of significantly high switching energies. Alternatively, magnetoelectric materials are predicted to enable low-power magnetization control, a solution with limited device-level results. Here, we demonstrate voltage-based magnetization switching and reading in nanodevices at room temperature, enabled by exchange coupling between multiferroic BiFeO 3 and ferromagnetic CoFe, for writing, and spin-to-charge current conversion between CoFe and Pt, for reading. We show that, upon the electrical switching of the BiFeO 3 , the magnetization of the CoFe can be reversed, giving rise to different voltage outputs. Through additional microscopy techniques, magnetization reversal is linked with the polarization state and antiferromagnetic cycloid propagation direction in the BiFeO 3 . This study constitutes the building block for magnetoelectric spin-orbit logic, opening a new avenue for low-power beyond-CMOS technologies. The authors realize voltage-based magnetization switching and reading in nanodevices at room temperature, through exchange coupling between multiferroic BiFeO 3 and ferromagnetic CoFe, for writing, and spin-to-charge current conversion between CoFe and Pt, for reading.

This paper presents a new rotor profile of roots vacuum pump composed of arc, involute and cycloid.It' s whole tooth profile which is described exactly by combining the meshing principle of gears with parameter equation. The performance of meshing of two rotors is improved without profile interference and packet gas, which are the problems of conventional involute profiles. The work provides new theoretical basis for digital design of new rotor profile, its meshing analysis, dynamic emulation, kinematics and dynamics analysis.

This paper analyses the working principle of RV reducer and the actual tooth profile equation of cycloid wheel, and deduces the distribution law of contact load on cycloid wheel in transient state by considering the initial meshing gap between pin teeth and cycloid wheel and the contact deformation generated during meshing. Taking an RV reducer as the research object, the contact load of the cycloid wheel is calculated by using MATLAB programming, and the change curve of contact load and crank shaft rotation angle is obtained, which provides theoretical support for the analysis and design of RV reducer.
