Comparison of Gap Elements and Contact Algorithm for 3D Contact Analysis of Spiral Bevel Gears.

Abstract

Three dimensional stress analysis of spiral bevel gears in mesh using the finite element method is presented. A finite element model is generated by solving equations that identify tooth surface coordinates. Contact is simulated by the automatic generation of non-penetration constraints. This method is compared to a finite element contact analysis conducted with gap elements. (AN)
