STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF SPUR GEAR USING FEM

To achieve improved static gear drives and enhanced load carrying capacity and reliability, a complete studyabout gear drive design and analysis is carried out. The structural analysis is examined for spur gear drive. Geardrives transmit motion and power by tooth mesh mostly in the form of involute profiles, gear tooth mesh is acomplex process involving multi tooth engagement, multipoint contact and varying load conditions. The contactstresses were examined using 3-D FEM model. The gears are modeled by using AUTO- CAD and analyzed byANSYS 16.0. In the present work an attempt is proposed to find the structural analysis at the point of gear toothengagement under static loading conditions through finite element softwar
