Load Sharing Based Fillet Stress Analysis of Involute Helical Gears

Article Preview

Abstract:

The tooth fracture occurs due to high fillet stress developed at the root fillet region along the face width, when the tooth is normally loaded. Hence, an accurate estimation of critical loading position on the tooth along the line of contact for maximum fillet stress and its location along the face width become important to reduce the tooth fracture. In the present work, the maximum fillet stress is evaluated based on load sharing ratio using the finite element method through the multi pair loaded model and using the results, the influence of cutter tip radius and addendum height on the load sharing ratio and respective maximum fillet stress is evaluated. The maximum fillet stress is lesser in the gear drives which is generated by the full round cutter and it increases due to increase the addendum height. The location at which the maximum fillet stress occurs along the face width is determined, when the load is applied at the critical loading position in the helical gear drive.
