Abstract

Contact stress analysis of gear drives has been a subject of intensive research since last few years. Contact stresses were first analyzed by Hertz, and he developed analytical correlations for determining them. Contact stresses are strongly dependent on the types of gears, friction at the point of contact, velocities of rotation, loads, etc. It also depends on the accuracy of mounting, bearings, shaft deflection, and workmanship of gears. In the present report, contact stresses in spur gear pairs have been taken for study. The analysis is conducted using ANSYS software. The study of variation of contact stresses with a varying inclination of the shafts is the main objective of this work. The axis of the gear shafts can shift due to wear and tear of the bearings or due to any other external causes. It is observed that the contact stresses do vary with the variations in the axes of the gear shaft. The stresses show an increasing trend with an increase in the inclination of the axis of the gear shaft, and the minimum value is observed when both the shafts are parallel to inclination zero.
