Contact Stress and Fatigue Analysis of Spur Gear

Article Preview

Abstract:

Spur gear is the most basic type of parallel-axis gear. In this study, contact stress and fatigue life of spur gear for different modules and for different materials were studied. The commercially available Solidworks 2016 is used for modelling and ANSYS Workbench tool for discretizing and solving. The analysis has been performed on the gear models of modules 1mm, 2mm and 3mm to observe the distribution of contact stress and life. The graphic results obtained were compared and it was found that contact stress decreases as the module increases and also aluminium alloy was having the least stress and high fatigue life among the selected materials. Hence from the finite element analysis, it’s found that the contact stress depends on the module and material used. Similarly fatigue life of gear purely depends on the material chosen.
