1) Review Questions
a. Discuss the main failure modes of gear drives, the failing mechanism,
locationand prevention measures.
b. Which factor saffect the fase load factor? How could one improve uneven
load distribution along the fase width?
c. What are the main variables to be decided in gear design and how should
one select them?
d. For a pair o fgears, how could one decide which gear is prone to fail due to
pitting and which gear is prone to fail because of tooth breakage?
d. How could one increase the contact strength and bending strength of a
cylindrical gear?

2) Objective Questions

A. In a gear drive, both the pinion and gear are made of medium carbon steel.

normalizing. The contact stress on the tooth Surface of the pinion and gear
is___.

(b) 𝜎H1 =𝜎H2
(c) 𝜎H1 <𝜎H2
(d) hard to decide.

B. Assuming the pitch diameter is constant in a spur gear drive, the larger
the_____, the higher the vending strength of the gear.
(a) modulus
(b) torque transmitted
(c) number of the teeth of a gear
(d) load factor

C. In order to improve the contact fatigue strength of tooth surface, we

can_____.
