Abstract:

In the field of Engineering and Technology, Gear is one of the most significant and essential component in mechanical power transmission system. General devices have major applications in various fields like automotives, industrial rotational machines, lifting devices, etc. Gears are usually subjected to fluctuating loads while in action. Gear tooth mainly fails due to excessive bending stress and excessive contact stress. Thus while designing the gear it is very necessary and vital to analyze the stresses induced in the gear for its safe operation. Weight reduction of gear is also one of the main design criteria as it has a great role in improving the efficiency of the entire system. Nowadays engineering components made up of composite materials and plastics find increasing applications. The components made by the composite materials provide reasonable mechanical properties with minimum weight. The objective of this research is to develop the spur gear and pinion assembly model using engineering simulation PTC Creo and imported to 3-D design software ANSYS workbench 16.0 for working on the static structural analysis. The analysis was carried out by considering different materials for gears like structural steel, polycarbonate and 20%AlSiC. From the observed results it was found that, 20%AlSiC composite material has mass reduction of about 45%, hence it is suitable for light weight applications.
