For the purpose of satisfying today's market demands, new 8 and 11 liter diesel engines, named "STORM" series, have been developed and moved into production in 1986. Based on the predecessors which have been produced since 1975, the development of the STORM series aimed high performance, low emission, long life-time and low operating costs. In order to consult customers' convenience, exchangeability of engine parts and commonality of vehicle installations with the former engines had to be maintained. This paper describes the development work of STORM engines, and the design aspects and performance characteristics of these engines.

CORRELATION OF BENDING STRENGTH AND ERRORS OF HELICAL GEAR has not been clarified sufficiently even now. As the investigation by using only experimental method is not sufficient and so the analytical method of obtaining gear bending strength has been developed by one of the authors. Hence, the correlation of bending strength and errors, especially in the aspect of the direction of pressure angle error and tooth trace error, is clarified by this analytical method which was verified by some experiments. And by further investigations, it is confirmed that the helical gear is tougher against the negative pressure angle error, and the fine module gear is sensitive against the errors.
