Description
Yongqiang Xu, Hao Chen, Dapeng Zhang, Guangyao Hu, Hongjun Li, and Kerui Xiong wrote a 2026 engineering study on floating splines used in aircraft power systems. These toothed shafts pass turning force between parts, and they shift a bit as a plane moves and turns. How their teeth touch each other changes once the shaft bends under load.
The team built computer models of the shaft and of the tooth contact. They found that load along the shaft can slide the mating faces and shorten the contact zone. Side loads and turning forces tilt the parts out of line in two distinct ways. They also checked how well the teeth hold up against wear under limit and peak loads, which matters for safe flight.
