AP26104341 Investigation of a New Spur Gear Design Based on Composite Material Using an Enhanced Tooth Contact Analysis Approach
RESEARCH VISIT TO CORNELL UNIVERSITY
As part of the implementation of Project AP26104341, «Investigation of a Novel Spur Gear Design Based on Composite Materials Using an Enhanced Tooth Contact Analysis Approach,» a research visit was conducted to Cornell University, one of the leading engineering centers in the United States.
The program included several days at the Cornell Tech campus in New York City, followed by continued research activities in Ithaca, where the university’s main research laboratories are located.
During the visit, the project’s lead researcher, Temirkhan Maksat Sergeiuly, toured mechanical workshops, manufacturing facilities, and engineering laboratories. Particular attention was given to advanced high-precision machining technologies, composite material processing methods, and the manufacturing of precision gear systems. In addition, current practices in mechanical testing, digital design, and rapid prototyping were studied.
All activities carried out during the visit formed an important part of the research effort aimed at developing next-generation composite gears. The project focuses on improving energy efficiency, reducing weight, and increasing the service life of mechanical transmission systems through advances in gear design and manufacturing technologies.
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS
From December 23 to December 29, 2025, Chingis Kharmyssov, the principal researcher of Project AP26104341 «Investigation of a New Spur
Gear Design Based on Composite Material Using an Enhanced Tooth Contact Analysis Approach» conducted a research visit to the University of Texas at Austin (USA).
During the visit, research activities were carried out at the Cockrell School of Engineering, Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering. The work focused on the application of Raman spectroscopy to analyze material properties and the processes occurring on surfaces under contact interaction.
The visit was aimed at studying experimental approaches and data interpretation methods used in the analysis of materials and surface phenomena relevant to contact mechanics and research on composite gear transmissions.
