Root Stresses in Conformal Gears-Strain Gauge and Photoeleastic Investigations,

Abstract

This paper reviews the significant amount of analytical work on 'strong' gear tooth forms carried out since the classical papers of Shotter et al., and presents the results of a project which addresses a problem common to all three-dimensional photoelastic studies of root stresses in gears - that of maintaining an accurate delineation of the contact conjunction geometry throughout the stress-freezing cycle. Photoelastic model results are compared with those measured by strain gauge methods on the definitive gears.
