Correction: Liu et al. A Semi-Analytical Loaded Contact Model and Load Tooth Contact Analysis Approach of Ease-Off Spiral Bevel Gears. Machines 2024, 12, 623

Text Correction

There is an error in the original publication [1]. The author’s name was mentioned wrong for the reference [23].

A correction has been made to the Paragraph 4 in Section 1:

Original Text:

Adrian Ghionea [23] proposed a new penetration-based contact model that enables more efficient and accurate computation of three-dimensional contact loads, thereby supporting system-level and dynamic analysis, addressing the challenges of contact simulation posed by the complex geometry of spiral bevel gears.

Corrected Text:

Vivet [23] proposed a new penetration-based contact model that enables more efficient and accurate computation of three-dimensional contact loads, thereby supporting system-level and dynamic analysis, addressing the challenges of contact simulation posed by the complex geometry of spiral bevel gears.

Error in Figure

In the original publication, there was a mistake in Figure 1, showing the generalized bevel gear generation configuration, as published [1]. The original Figure 1 was used without proper citation and copyright clearance (this was an unintentional oversight). The corrected Figure 1 appears below.

References

With the addition of reference [26], the order of the subsequent references was updated accordingly.

The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
