I am calculating transmission error and contact stress for helical gears, to do this I am using a copy of Cai's stiffness function that I have found. However, I do not have the paper he wrote and are a little confused over what kind of values these coefficients should give. The resulting stiffness matrix looks a bit odd as it has extreme values. Therefore I think I am calculating the C0 and Ca coefficients wrong. Any help on these coefficients or a link to the paper would be greatly appreciated.
