Design And Analysis Of Helical Gear Tooth

Abstract

Gears are mainly used to transmit the power in mechanical power transmission systems. These gears play a most predominant role in many automobile and micro electro mechanical systems. One of the main reason of the failure in the gear is bending stresses and vibrations also to be taken into account. But the stresses are occurred due to the contact between two gears while power transmission process is started. Due to meshing between two gears contact stresses are evolved, which are determined by using analyzing software called ANSYS. Finding stresses has become most popular in research on gears to minimize the vibrations, bending stresses and also reducing the mass percentage in gears. These stresses are used to find the optimum design in the gears which reduces the chances of failure. The model is generated by using CATIAV5 and ANSYS is used for numerical analysis. The analytical study is based on Hertz’s equation.
