Contact Stress Analysis of Spiral Bevel Gears Using Nonlinear Finite Element Static Analysis. Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit (29th) held in Monterey, California on June 28 - 30, 1993

Abstract

A procedure is presented for performing three-dimensional stress analysis of spiral bevel gears in mesh using the finite element method. The procedure involves generating a finite element model by solving equations that identify tooth surface coordinates. Coordinate transformations are used to orientate the gear and pinion for gear meshing. Contact boundary conditions are simulated with gap elements. A solution technique for correct orientation of the gap elements is given. Example models and results are presented.... Gears, Gear teeth, Mechanical drives.
