Normally, wear is treated using blunt approximations and without reflecting on the effects
of wear on the working behaviour of the gears. Wear analysis of tested gear is commonly
carried out using a scale to indicate the degree of wear. This work differs in that sense
due to its relatively sharp focus on the mild wear of gear surfaces and its consequences.
The experimental analysis was conducted using top-of-the-line equipment, tielding
interesting results as to wear distribution over the tooth surface. Some of the results
presented here are not new, since many engineers have worked with gears without really
focusing on the wear aspect.the fact the the gear teeth wear alot at the root and the
process can be fast is not revolutionary. The question coming in is: how fast and how
much does it wear and can be predicted?
1.3 Objective
1) To test on the stiffness of the gear tooth on both spur gear and straight bevel gear by
using CAD software.
2) To calculate as acurately as possible the time dependent wear development of gear
teeth flanks.
1.4 Scope of project
There is few of principle causes for gear failure: an error of design, application error,
manufacturing error. Design errors may be due to causes like improper gear geometry,
use of wrong materials, quality, lubrication and other specifications. In this project we are
going into the wear failure which is takes place with the metal gradually wearing away
from the contact points of the gear teeth. It takes place in an unifrom manner. With the
CAD software we are using, we were able to determine the surface deformation to the
breakage of the gear tooth.
This project will carry out the involute form of gear tooth which is commonly used in the
industry field of spur gear and straight bevel gear. The gear will follow by industrial
standard base on RS40-1B type.
The test will run on gear ratio of 1:1 of both gears on different rpm.
1.5 Methodology
With the cheap computing power has enabled a simulation where the development of the
wear over time can be monitired, more refined models of wear and surface interaction
can be used.
FEA consists of a computer model of a material or design that is stressed and analyzed
for specific results. It is used in new product design, and existing product refinement. A
company is able to verify a proposed design will be able to perform to the client's
specifications prior to manufacturing or construction. Modifying an existing product or
structure is utilized to qualify the product or structure for a new service condition. In case
of structural failure, FEA may be used to help determine the design modifications to meet
the new condition.
By using the FEA method in the CAD software we could carry out the data for the design
of the bevel gear tooth, hence to increase the efficiency and the reliability by giving
further improvement.
