ABSTRACT

Gear is the most effective component in power transmission system. In the gear
design, the bending stress and surface stress of the gear tooth is considered to be
one of the main contributions for the failure of the gears in the gear set. Thus,
the analysis of the stresses has become popular on area of research on gears to
minimize the failures and for optimal design of gears. Gear teeth is used to
transfer the speed, torque and power in the machines. The failure in the gear
tooth is caused due to working stress exceeds the maximum permissible stress.
In this paper, the study was focused on the design and modelling of a Gear and
Pinion using SOLID WORKS 2021. Stress analysis is done by using ANSYS
19.2. Then to reduce the stress in the gear tooth, circular hole along the stress
flow direction is drilled at two different patterns and checked for stress
distribution. The stress variations were studied and result comparison were done
by introducing circular hole in alternate teeth and all the tooth for two diffe rent
materials namely, conventional case hardened steel and composite material
carbon fiber.

CHAPTER 1

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The gear drive is a crucial subject within the general mechanical industry
like automobile and aerospace. Gear is employed as a way to transmit power
with relatively small dimension, large ratio, low noise and vibration also as low
manufacturing and maintenance cost. generally , one of the key objectives for
gear design is to strengthen the load capacity and sturdiness in practical
engineering.

A gear or cogwheel could also be a rotating machine part having cut


teeth, or cogs, which mesh with another toothed part to transmit torque, in most
cases with teeth on the one gear being of identical shape, and sometimes also
thereupon shape on the opposite gear. Two or more gears working during a
sequence (train) are called a gear train or, in many cases, a transmission; such
gear arrangements can produce a ratio through a gear ratio and thus could even
be considered a simple machine. However, a gear can also mesh with a non-
rotating toothed part, called a rack.

CAD has its roots in interactive special effects . Before the CAD era,
engineering drawings were prepared manually on paper using pencils and
drafting instruments on a drafting table . the arrival of interactive computer
graphics replaced the drafting table with a computer monitor and thus the pencil
with an data input device sort of a light-weight pen or mouse. rather than using
physical drafting instruments, software commands and icons on the pc display
are used. The drawing are often created, modified, copied, and transformed
using the software tools. At the time, CAD stood for computer- aided drafting.
Drafting was confined to 2D thanks to the paper limitation. With the pc , such
limitation is removed. Three-dimensional CAD systems were developed within
the 1960s. In 3D CAD, objects are modeled using 3D coordinates (x, y, and z)
rather than 2-D coordinates (x and y). the necessity for modeling parts and
products with complex surfaces motivated the event of free-form surface
modelers

Spur gears are the simplest type of gears. They gear consists of a
cylindrical or disk with teeth projecting radially. The edge of each tooth is
straight and aligned parallel to axis of rotation. These gears mesh together

2
correctly as long as fitted to a parallel shafts. Only radial thrust is created by the
tooth loads. These gears are noisy at high speeds.

Fig 1.1 – Spur Gear

1.2 CLASSIFICATION:
The spur gears are generally classified into two types: External Gear and
Internal Gear.

1.2.1. External Gear: An external gear can mesh with an external gear or an
internal gear. When two external gears mesh together they rotate in the opposite
directions.

Fig. 1.2 – External Spur Gear

1.2.2. Internal Gears: An internal gear can only mesh with an external gear
and the gears rotate in the same direction. Due to the close positioning of shafts
internal gear assemblies are more compact then external gear assemblies.

Fig. 1.3 – Internal Spur Gear

1.3 Gear Terminology:


Pitch circle : It is a imaginary circle which by pure rolling action would gives
the same motion as the actual gear.
Pitch circle Diameter : It is the diameter of pitch circle. The size of the gear
is usually specified by pitch circle diameter. It is also known as pitch diameter.
Base Circle : It is the circle upon which the gear tooth are located.
Pitch point : It is the point of the interaction between two pitch circles.
Addendum : It is the radial distance of a tooth from pitch circle to the top of
the tooth.
Dedendum : It is the radial distance of a tooth from pitch circle to the bottom
of the tooth.
Circular pitch : The distance measured on the circumference of the pitch
circle from the point of one tooth to the corresponding point on the next tooth.
Diametric pitch : It is the ratio of number of teeth to the pitch circle diameter
in millimeters.
Module : It is the ratio of the pitch circle diameter in millimeters to the number
of teeth.
Clearance: It is a radial distance from the top of the tooth to the bottom of the
tooth in a meshing gear.

4
Total depth : Its is a radial distance between the addendum and dedendum
circle of a gear . It is equal to sum of addendum and dedendum.
Working Depth : It is the radial distance from the addendum circle to the
clearance circle . It is equal to the sum of addendum of the two meshing gears .
Tooth space : It is the width of tooth measured along the pitch circle .
Tooth thickness: It is the width of space between the two adjacent teeth
measured along the pitch circle .
Backlash: It is the difference between tooth space and tooth thickness as
measured on the pitch circle.
Face of tooth : It is the surface of the tooth above pitch surface .
Flank of the tooth : It is the surface of the tooth below the pitch surface
Face width : It is the width of the gear tooth measured to parallel to its axis

1.4 Requirements for an ideal gear tooth section :

 The requirements for an ideal gear tooth as follows

 Overall gear ratio and number of different reductions and their gear
ratios if multi speed and the ratio tolerance

 Size and envelope requirements

 Weight restrictions

 Input and output interfaces and dimensions

 Any legal and regulatory requirement

 Agricultural machinery

1.6 COMMON CAUSES FOR GEAR FAILURE

1. Moderate wear: In moderate wear show the metal has been affected within
the addendum and thus the dedendum arca leaves contacts pattern on the metal
it's thanks to inadequate lubrication commonly cause it, but it's getting to even
be because of contamination within the lubrication also

2. Excessive wear: Excessive wear is sustained to be a drag until a huge


amount of fabric has been affected on the surfaces. you will see pitting on the
surface with excessive wear, typically caused by not seeing the primary wear
early enough, and it continues to progress.

3. Abrasive wear: Abrasive wear appears thanks to radial scratch marks,


grooves or another identifier which may show contact could also be a drag . one
of the foremost common reasons why abrasive wear takes place is due to
foreign bodies within the lubrication. This issue could include metallic debris
from the bearings or gear system, rust, sand or weld spatter. it's normal in new
systems before the filter can clean the system

4. Corrosive Wear: Corrosive wear is thanks to chemical change


deteriorates on the surface of the gear, like through acad, additives or moisture
within the lubrication oil because the oil breaks down the chemicals that exist
within the lubricant attack the surfaces. It tends to result uniform and fine
pitting on the two surfaces.

5. Frosting: This issue usually shows up within the dedendum area of the
driving gear. The wear pattern gives a frosted appearance, which are many
micro pits on the surface. Frosting may be a common issue when the warmth
breaks down the lubrication film.

6. Spalling: Although it's almost like severe pitting, the pits tend to be shallow
and bigger in diameter. Additionally, the world that's showing spalling doesn't
tend to be uniform. It is a standard problem when high contact stress exists.

6
7. Pitting: a drag with pitting are often labeled as either initial, during which the
surface is experiencing small pits to destructive, during which the pits are larger in
diameter. Initial pitting could also be a drag with the gears not fitting together
properly. Destructive pitting is usually a problem with surface overload.

8. Breakage: it's possible for the whole tooth or a bit of the tooth to interrupt
away. It often leaves evidence of the focus of the fatigue that led to the break,
which ends up from any number of issues, including high stress or excessive
tooth loads.

LITERATURE REVEW

A REVIEW ON ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL FOR SPUR


GEAR UNDER STATIC LOADING CONDITION
Volume : 5,Issue : 3,March 2015

Utkarsh.M.Desai.,A spur Gear is generally subjected to bending stress which


causes teeth failure. However it is observed that performance of the spur gear is
not satisfactory in certain applications and therefore it is required to explore
some alternate materials to improve the performance of the spur gears.
Composite materials provide adequate strength with weight reduction and they
are emerging as a better alternative for replacing metallic gears. In this work, A
metallic gear of Alloy Steel replaced by the composite gear of 30% Glass filled
Poly-ether-ether- Ketone (PEEK).

TESTING /ANALYSIS METHODS USED: Modelling is done using ANSYS


V14.

EQUIPMENTS/TOOLS USED: ANSYSV14.

RESULTS: We can say that the gear needs to be redesigned providing energy
saving by weight reduction, providing internal damping, reducing lubrication
requirement without increasing cost. Such a scope is provided by application of
composite material providing solution together existing problems in current
gears available.

CONCLUSION: This work is concerned with the replacement of existing


metallic gear with composite material gear in order to make it lighter and
increasing the efficiency of mechanical machines.

saving can be obtained.For large series also cost savings are feasible .

CONCLUSION : Composite landing gear components are feasible and cost-


effective for steel landing gear components.composite landing gear components
therefore are opportunities to be taken for application in the next generation
civil and military aircraft.

Contact Stress Analysis of Spur Gear by Photo elastic Technique


and Finite Element Analysis ICTARME 2015, 18 MAY 2016
Abhijit Mahadev Sankpal, Contact stress are fersto the localized stresses
that develop as two curved surfaces come in contact and deform slightly under
the imposed loads. Also due to contact stresses wear at gear tooth. Wear is
nothing but progressive removal of metal from surface. Consequently, tooth
thins down and gets weakened. Pitting is a surface fatigue failure of the gear
tooth. In this paper contact stresses find out by FEM method and

9
experimental method by using the polariscopic and compare the FEM result
with experimental result.

TESTING /ANALYSIS METHODS USED: Experimental Method, FEM


Method

EQUIPMENTS/TOOLS USED: AUTO-CAD, Meshing of gear tooth,


Boundary condition, Polariscope.

RESULTS: Pitting is the surface fatigue failure which occurs due to repetition
of high contact stresses. The failure starts with the formation of pits which
continue to grow resulting in the rupture of the tooth surface. The results found
by FEM method is nearly equal to results found by experimental method.

CONCLUSION: The results found by FEM method is nearly equal to results


found by experimental method. The module is important geometrical
parameter during the design of gear. Therefore selection of proper module size
is an important factor before designing gear maximum contact stress decreases
with increasing module.

PROGRESSIVE GEAR TEETH WEAR AND FAILURE PROBABILITY


MODELING

M. Ognjanovic., discussed about the Gear teeth testing procedure and


endurance limits for different kinds of materials and gear thermal and
mechanical treatments.

TESTING/ANALYSIS METHODS USED: The design and function of gears


are usually closely associated, since gears are designed for a specific function.
Gear calculation according to the mentioned standard is based on teeth pitting
resistance. Fatigue of surface layer (pitting) is the most suitable for the load
capacity calculation.

EQUIPMENTS/TOOLS USED: Solid words for modeling, and ANSYS


software to analysis

RESULTS: Gear load capacity calculation is defined according to pitting of


the teeth flanks. Every type of flank failure corresponds to defined conditions
(service, design, technology,…)

CONCLUSION: Gear load capacity calculation is defined according to pitting


of the teeth flanks. In service conditions, a failure process is combined of a

13
number of damage processes. Which of them will be dominant depends on
design parameters, technological and exploitation conditions. Periodically, for
some of gears, extremely difficult service conditions exist, which creates a
possibility for progressive teeth wear.

Spur Gear Tooth Pitting Assessment Using Model based


Analysis 17 November 2015
Xi-Hui Liang, investigated dynamic properties of a gearbox with localized
pitting damage on a single gear tooth. The dynamic properties of a gearbox
with pitting distributed over multiple teeth have rarely been investigated. In
this paper, gear tooth pitting propagation on eigh boring teeth is modeled and
investigated for a pair of spur gears. Tooth pitting propagation effect on time-
varying mesh stiffness, gearbox dynamics and vibration characteristics is
studied and then fault symptoms are revealed.

TESTING /ANALYSIS METHODS USED: Mesh Stiffness Evaluation

EQUIPMENTS/TOOLS USED: Mesh stiffness, Mesh damping, Gear


dynamics, Vibration, Statistical feature, Dynamic simulation

RESULTS: At the end, 114 features are tested to estimate the pitting growth.
The features are ranked based on the Absolute Pearson Correlation
Coefficient. The statistical features insensitive to gear mesh damping and
environmental noise is recommended. However, further investigation of these
selected features based on experimental signals is still needed before potential
field applications.

CONCLUSION: This study investigates effects of pitting growth on vibration


properties of a spur gear box and tests the effectiveness of estimate the pitting
growth. The pitting propagation to neighboring teeth is modeled using circular
pits. The potential energy method is applied to evaluate gear mesh stiffness of

14
a pair of spur gears for each of the four health conditions: the perfect
condition, the slight pitting, the moderate pitting and the severe pitting. An
eight degrees of freedom torsional and lateral dynamic model is used to
simulate gearbox vibration signals. Pitting growth effects on vibration
properties of a spur gearbox are analyzed.

3.5 SOFTWARES USED :

These are modelled pinion and wheel of the gear. We used the Solid Works
2021 software for modelling the gears. SolidWorks may be a solid modeling
computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE)
computer virus published by Dassault systems.

3.6 INTRODUCTION TO SOLID WORKS:

Building a model in SolidWorks usually starts with a 2D sketch (although 3D


sketches are available for power users). The sketch consists of geometry like
points, lines, arcs, conics (except the hyperbola), and splines. Dimensions are
added to the sketch to define the dimensions and site of the geometry.
Relations are wont to define attributes like tangency, parallelism,
perpendicularity, and concentricity. The parametric nature of SolidWorks
means the size and relations drive the geometry, not the opposite way around.
The dimensions within the sketch are often controlled independently, or by
relationships to other parameters inside or outside the sketch.

In an assembly, the analog to sketch relations are mates. Just as sketch


relations define conditions like tangency, parallelism, and concentricity with
reference to sketch geometry, assembly mates define equivalent relations with
reference to the individual parts or components, allowing the easy construction
of assemblies. SolidWorks also includes additional advanced mating features
like gear and cam follower mates, which permit modeled gear assemblies to
accurately reproduce the rotational movement of an actual gear train.

Finally, drawings are often created either from parts or assemblies. Views are
automatically generated from the solid model, and notes, dimensions and
tolerances can then be easily added to the drawing as required . The drawing
module includes most paper sizes and standards.

CHAPTER 4
ANALYSIS OF GEAR TOOTH AND RESULTS

4.1 INTRODUCTION TO ANSYS

The Ansys finite element solvers enable a breadth and depth of capabilities
unmatched by anyone in the world of computer-aided simulation. Thermal,
Structural, Acoustic, Piezoelectric, Electrostatic and Circuit Coupled
Electromagnetics are just an example of what can be simulated. Regardless of
the type of simulation, each model is represented by a powerful scripting
language, the Ansys Parametric Design Language (APDL).

APDL is the foundation for all sophisticated features, many of which are not
exposed in the Workbench Mechanical user interface. It also offers many
conveniences such as parameterization, macros, branching and looping, and
complex math operations. All these benefits are accessible within the Ansys
Mechanical APDL user interface.

This course introduces new users, or experienced Ansys Mechanical users, to


the Ansys Mechanical APDL user interface. The Mechanical APDL
workflow, graphical user interface, and APDL command syntax will be
introduced. With this foundation in place, users can apply this knowledge to
efficiently set up, solve, and post process virtually any type of analysis.

the last one by introducing a 2 mm diameter circular hole at the center of
alternate teeth on pitch circle diameter.

CHAPTER 5

RESULTS DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION

Design and modeling of a gear, pinion and the meshing, was successfully
completed using solidworks design tool and basic static analysis completed
using ANSYS.
We know that with the increase of stress, life of gear decreases. The
maximum stress in a gear will be near the root of the teeth.

The results obtained from ANSYS reveals the Maximum Equivalent Stress
values of meshed Gear and Pinion without holes of 40Ni 2 Cr1 Mo28 steel
and Carbon Fiber when static load is applied are 7.538 x10 6 kgf/cm2 and
5.6563 x106 kgf/cm2. Maximum Equivalent Stress values of meshed Gear
and Pinion with holes in the center of alternate teeth of 40Ni 2 Cr1 Mo28
steel and Carbon Fiber when static load is applied are 6.6398 x106 kgf/cm2
and 6.8997 x106 kgf/cm2.Maximum Equivalent Stress values of meshed
Gear and Pinion with holes in the center of all the teeth of 40Ni 2 Cr1 Mo28
steel and Carbon Fiber when static load is applied are 7.26 x10 6 kgf/cm2 and
6.2593 x106 kgf/cm2.

The Maximum Equivalent Stress values of meshed Gear and Pinion without
holes of 40Ni 2 Cr1 Mo28 steel and Carbon Fiber when torque load is
applied are 7.1696 x106 kgf/cm2 and 7.4524 x106 kgf/cm2. Maximum
Equivalent Stress values of meshed Gear and Pinion with holes in the center
of alternate teeth of 40Ni 2 Cr1 Mo28 steel and Carbon Fiber when torque
load is applied are 6.6298 x106 kgf/cm2 and 6.921 x106 kgf/cm2.Maximum
Equivalent Stress values of meshed Gear and Pinion with holes in the center
of all the teeth of 40Ni 2 Cr1 Mo28 steel and Carbon Fiber when torque
load is applied are 2.3516 x106 kgf/cm2 and 2.4433 x106 kgf/cm2.

When static load and torque load applied ,Stress analysis of Wheel and
pinion of 40Ni 2 Cr1 Mo28 steel with hole at center of teeth in alternate
teeth and with hole at center of teeth in all teeth gives the lesser Maximum
Principal Stress values when compared to the Stress analysis of Wheel and
pinion without holes.
When torque load applied ,Stress analysis of Wheel and pinion of Carbon

53
Fiber with hole at center of teeth in alternate teeth and with hole at center of
teeth in all teeth gives the lesser Maximum Principal Stress values when
compared to the Stress analysis of Wheel and pinion without holes. But
when static load applied, Stress analysis of Wheel and pinion of Carbon
Fiber with hole at center of teeth in alternate teeth and with hole at center of
teeth in all teeth gives the higher Maximum Principal Stress values when
compared to the Stress analysis of Wheel and pinion without holes.

The stress values obtained in pinion and wheel resembles the same pattern
for the position of the hole. Hole at the center of all teeth along the pitch
circle diameter reduces the maximum stress as compared to the hole at the
center of alternate teeth.

The holes introduced reduces the stress values and hence called as stress-
relieving hole. It might decrease the fatigue strength of gear, but it is also
more possible to improve the fatigue strength due to relieving the max
stress.

With best result which was obtained in both pinion and wheel with hole at
center of the all the teeth on Pitch circle diameter. Reduction in stress is
possible with circular hole as a stress relieving feature. Stresses are very
much sensitive to the location and size of stress relieving features. It may be
difficult to determine the correct location of a stress relieving feature.

54
CHAPTER 6

FUTURE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

The future scope of this project is to carry out the analysis of gear teeth with
stress relieving holes at various position and to decide the optimum position of
the stress relieving hole.

Further it can be done for different shape. The shape of the holes can be altered
such as elliptical shape and aero foil shape instead of circular holes used in the
present work.

This work can be also carried out by changing the materials to select a suitable
material in manufacturing process.
