4.12 Torque load on pinion and gear with holes in all the 41
teeth for Carbon Fiber
xii
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.
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.
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.
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.

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. 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
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
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.

RESULT : Thus demonstrated that RTM can be used as fabrication method for
making complex shaped damage tolerent landing gear components with a high
level of part integration.By using composites instead of steel large weight
saving can be obtained.For large series also cost savings are feasible .

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

ElectronMicroscopy (SEM), Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS).
RESULTS: The misalignment in gear teeth while meshing Is the one of main
causes of gear teeth fatigue failure. Crack failure in gear possibly due to the
presence of the number of inclusions.
Patil Amol Shivaji., discussed about the field of gear tooth failure analysis.
Scuffing is often characterized as a lubrication failure frequently accompanied
by a sudden increase in friction and the instantaneous temperature at the
contact zone. This analysis was focused on different types of methodologies
used by various researchers in past to find cause of failure.
RESULTS: The main reason behind the gear tooth failure is Lubrication
failure, frequently accompanied by a sudden and increase in friction and the
instantaneous temperature at the contact zone. These types of failures can be
minimized by careful analysis of the problem during the design stage and
creating proper tooth surface profile with proper manufacturing methods.
11
CONCLUSION: In this analysis, different conventional and recent techniques
were discussed particularly for spur gear through stress concentration and load
distribution in gear while operating at various regions.
RESULTS: Using polyster resin and natural latana camara fiber ,3 spur gears
are manufactured.

industrial applications.

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.
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.

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.
RESULT: The results obtained showed that increasing the diameter size of
hole/holes resulted in higher percentage of stress reductions compared to the
pilot case.

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.

ANALYSIS OF GEAR TOOTH AND RESULTS
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.

CHAPTER 5
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.

CHAPTER 6
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.
