ANALYSIS OF THE BENDING STRESS OF GEAR TOOTH
Keywords:
Bending stress, Lewis equation, Gear sets.Abstract
Gears are one of the most essential components in mechanical power transmission systems. Bending stress plays a significant role in gear design and one of the main contributors for the failure of the gear sets wherein its magnitude is controlled by the nominal bending stress and the stress concentration due to the geometrical shape. The bending stress is indirectly related to shape changes made to the cutting tool. This is work analyse the bending stress during operation condition. Bending stress evaluation in modern gear design is generally based on the more than one hundred year old Lewis equation.
