Abstract: This paper investigates the characteristics of a gear system including contact stresses, bending stresses, and the transmission errors of gears in mesh. The objective of this paper is to compare values of contact stress and dynamic analysis obtained by theoretical hertz equation with the ANSYS result. A two stage spur gear box has been designed for material handling application by manual calculation and then performs contact stress and dynamic Simulation to ensure its reliable working. The results of the two-dimensional Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis from ANSYS and theoretical results are well comparable. Keywords: involute, spur gear, contact stress, dynamic analysis, finite element analysis

In port crane industry, the surface hardening technique is widely used in order to improve the strength of wheel. But the hardening depth is chosen only by according to the experience, and the effect of different hardened depths is not studied theoretically. In this paper, the contact stresses in wheel with different hardening depth have been analyzed by applying three-dimensional finite element model. Based on this model, the ANSYS10.0 finite element software is used. The elastic wheel is used to verify the numerical results with the Hertz’s theory. Three different hardening depths, namely 10mm, 25mm and whole hardened wheel, under three different vertical loads were applied. The effect of hardening depth of a surface hardened wheel is discussed by comparing the contact stresses and contact areas from the numerical results.

In this present work a virtual environment has been created to investigate the failure analysis on spur gear assembly in which structural analysis, fatigue failure analysis and contact stress analysis have been performed using finite element method. For this work, a three dimensional cad model has been created and imported to ANSYS workbench for further finite element analysis. Various boundary conditions have been used to perform structural, fatigue failure assessment and contact analysis such as revolute joints is provided with Body Ground connection for 60 rpm for structure analysis, Augmented Lagrange method is set for contact analysis, for fatigue life analysis the fatigue strength factor is used as 0.85 for fully reverse loading and the life of shear stress in cycles and for the contact analysis linear and nonlinear contact are used for both source and target body. It has been observe that contact stress and bending stress not attain their maximum values at the same points, if the contact stress minimize in primary design stage then the failure of gear can minimized by analysis of the problem during the earlier stage of design. It can also be state that by using finite element analysis complex analysis like fatigue and contact analysis can be performed very accurately within a very short time and cost effectively rather than experimental analysis.

Thin rim gears find application in high-power, lightweight aircraft transmissions. Bending stresses in thin rim spur gear tooth fillets and root areas differ from the stresses in solid gears due to rim deformations. Rim thickness is a significant design parameter for these gears. To study this parameter, a finite element analysis was conducted on a segment of a thin rim gear. The rim thickness was varied and the location and magnitude of the maximum bending stresses reported. Design limits are discussed and compared with the results of other researchers.

The aim of this technical brief is to provide a new viewpoint of friction factor for contact stress calculations of gears. The idea of friction factor has been coined, for the calculation of contact stresses along the tooth contact for different helical gear pairs. Friction factors were developed by evaluating contact stresses with and without friction for different gear pairs. In this paper, three-dimensional (3D) finite element method (FEM) and Lagrange multiplier algorithm have been used to evaluate the contact stresses. Initially, a spur gear finite element (FE) model was validated with the theoretical analysis under frictionless condition, which is based on Hertz's contact theory. Then, similar FE models were constructed for 5 deg, 15 deg, 25 deg, and 35 deg helical gear pairs. The contact stresses of these models were evaluated for different coefficients of friction. These results were employed for the development of friction factor.

In this study that spur gears are chosen, contact stress of spur gear is presented under the effect of rotational speed. Three-dimensional simulation of dynamic analysis of gears designed and modeled using ANSYS software. The dynamic analysis included in the determination of dynamic stresses analysis. Contact stress is theoretically calculated and analyzed and numerically estimated using both Hertzian mathematical model and finite element method respectively. Different values of rotational speed used to study its effect on contact stress. Both methods compared by evaluating the percentage error of contact stress, and the modeling of the spur gear and stress analysis of spur gear carried out using SOLID WORK and ANSYS V14, respectively. The most significant note in this study concludes that increasing speed causes vibration and pitting failure due to repetitions.

Abstract Through the establishment of a pair of spur gear contact models, based on Hertz contact theory, the tooth surface contact stress is calculated; then the Ansys finite element analysis software is used to simulate and analyse the stress distribution. Through the analysis and comparison of the two results, it is proved that the contact stress calculated by Hertz theory is relatively small, which is close to the results of the finite element simulation analysis. Theoretical calculation can verify the accuracy of the finite element simulation analysis model, and the finite element simulation analysis provides an effective way to accurately calculate the contact stress of the tooth surface.
