ABSTRACT

This study explores the influence of some gear parameters such as addendum height, teeth number and module on load sharing aspect and the subsequent stress analysis. The multi pair contact model in finite element technique is used for a reasonable accurate prediction of the stresses with the application of load at high pressure angle side. Also, a unique Ansys parametric design language code is developed for this study. Finally the increase in addendum height results to increase the bending stress for a load at critical loading point. However the increase in teeth number and module leads to decrease in the load sharing based bending and contact stresses.
