  • Abstract:
  • This paper describes Stress analysis of a Spur gear drive by varying number tooth and finding the equation between the stress and number of tooth. Spur gear is most basic gear used to transmit power between parallel shafts. Spur gear generally fails by bending failure or contact failure. This paper analyses the bending stresses characteristics of an involute spur gear tooth by varying number of teeth. The tooth profile is generated and analysis is carried out by Finite element method using ANSYS software. The stresses at the spur gear tooth are evaluated analytically using existing theoretical model and findings. The previous findings and FEM results are compared. The results obtained from previous findings are in good agreement with those obtained from software. This analysis was very useful to find an equation between stress and number of tooth and it is also very useful for clean study on the stress and influences on number of teeth
