Contact stress analysis of spiral bevel gears using nonlinear finiteelement static analysis

.,-/P Much effort bas focused on predicting stresses in gears A procedure is presented for performing three- with the finite element method. Most of this v.ork has dimensional stress analysis of spiral bevel gears in involved parallel axis gears with two dimensional models. mesh using the finite element method. The procedure Only a few researchers have investigated finite element inv.olves generating a finite element model by solving analysis of spiral bevel gears'-. equations that idcntif tooth surface coordinates. Coordinate transformations are used to onentate the Finite element analysis has been done on a single spiral gear and pinion for gear meshing- Contact boundary bevel tooth using an assumed contact st.;-ess distribution.
