  Abstract: The automobile industry has to find the alternative solution for steel grade gears to overcome the weight to high strength ratio and thermal consideration with high damping properties. This study describes the design, FEM analysis, and performance evaluation of three new hybrid composite spur gears: a monolithic carbon fiber/epoxy (80/20 weight percent) composite (A), and two hybrids with steel (B) and aluminum (C) matrices (64% CF, 21% Epoxy, 15% metal). …
