Alloy,Aluminum Alloy AMC225xE, Boron Carbide are used as the materials of spur
gear.The spur gears are sketched, modeled and assembled in AUTOCAD, creo
2.0 and Ansys workbench.
As Finite Element Method (FEM) is the easy and accurate technique for stress
analysis, FEA is done in finite element software ANSYS 13. Also deformation
for Carbon Steel, Aluminum 6351 Alloy, Aluminum Alloy AMC225xE, Boron Carbide is
obtained as efficiency of the gear depends on its deformation.
INTRODUCTION
Gears are used for a wide range of industrial applications. They have varied application
starting from textile looms to aviation industries. They are the most common means of
transmitting power. They change the rate of rotation of machinery shaft and also the axis of
rotation. For high speed machinery, such as an automobile transmission, they are the optimal
medium for low energy loss and high accuracy. Their function is to convert input provided by
prime mover into an output with lower speed and corresponding higher torque. Toothed gears are
used to transmit the power with high velocity ratio. During this phase, they encounter high stress
at the point of contact.
A pair of teeth in action is generally subjected to two types of cyclic stresses:
i) Bending stresses inducing bending fatigue ii) Contact stress causing contact fatigue.
Both these types of stresses may not attain their maximum values at the same point of
contact. However, combined action of both of them is the reason of failure of gear tooth leading
to fracture at the root of a tooth under bending fatigue and surface failure, due to contact fatigue.
When loads are applied to the bodies, their surfaces deform elastically near the point of
contact. Stresses developed by Normal force in a photo-elastic model of gear tooth are shown in
the Fig.1.1. The highest stresses exist at regions where the lines are bunched closest together.
The highest stress occurs at two locations:
•At contact point where the force F acts
•At the fillet region near the base of the tooth.

Design of Gear Tooth
The involute spur gear used for the current analysis has the following specifications
1. 16 Tooth
2. Diametrical Pitch of 8.3
3. Pressure Angle of 20o
Gear Geometry
Here we present the calculations for the gear we will use for our stress
concentration reduction studies.As given in
Shigley[8], the gear geometry calculations are as follows:
Considering the pressure angle(φ)= 200
Pitch circle Dia. (PCD) = module(m) x no. of teeth
Tooth thickness = (π x module) /2
Root fillet = 0.2 x module
Addendum Dia.(Da)= PCD +2 x module
Dedendum Dia.(Dd) = PCD – 2.5 x m
Base circle dia. (Db) = PCD x cos φ
Parameters of gear:
Module (m) =2
Pitch circle dia (d) = 48mm
No. of teeth (N) = 16
Tooth thickness (t) = 4.74mm
Root fillet = 0.6mm
Addendum dia(Da)] =54mm
Dedendumdia (Dd) = 40.5mm
Base circle dia (Db) = 45.105mm
Material used: Steel
Properties of Steel: Young‟s modulus = 21000 MPa
Poison‟s ratio = 0.3
Gear Design Calculations:
The Pitch Diameter (D) = 48mm
The Pitch Radius (R) = D/2 =24
The Base Circle Diameter (DB) = D * COS (PA) = 48 * COS (20 deg) = 45.105
The Base Circle Radius (RB) = DB/2 = 22.5525
The Addendum (a) = 1/P = 1/8.31 = 0.1203
Dedendum (d) = 1.157/P = 1.157/8.31= 0.1392
Outside Diameter (DO) =N+2/N/D= 54.0054
Outside Radius (RO) = 27.0027
Root Diameter (DR) = D-2*d = 47.7216
Root Radius (RR) =23.8608
For method [9] described below following calculations are also required:
1. Circumference of the Base circle, (CB) = Pi * (DB) = Pi * 45.105= 141.7015
2. 1/25th of the Base Circle Radius, (FCB) =2.81
3. Number of times that FCB can be divided into CB, (NCB) = 50.42
4. 360 degrees divided by NCB, (ACB) = 7.14
5. Gear Tooth Spacing (GT) = 360/T = 22.5degrees
