Bending Stress Analysis of Spur Gear
Gears are widely used for the power and motion transmission in various systems. Gears are classified as spur, helical, bevel, worm etc. The spur gears are easy to manufacture and are used on parallel shafts. Spur gears are designed based on beam strength and wear strength criteria. In present study a spur gear is designed based on beam strength criteria analytically. Based on the calculations the gear has been modeled in CATIA V5. After this the same gear is imported in ANSYS Workbench 14.5 and its analysis is carried out with given boundary conditions. The analysis results of bending stress are compared with MATLAB code for further validation.
