Abstract: This is a review which provides specific and detailed information regarding the fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite to replace traditional steel in high-performance spur gears with emphasis on mechanical performance, computational modeling, and experimental validation. Methods: The current literature was thoroughly investigated that includes material properties, material simulation (e.g., finite element analysis, FEA), and experimental gear testing procedures (e.g., DIN 51354, ASTM G99). Certain case studies in the aerospace and automotive …

Design and Computational Analysis of Hybrid Carbon Fiber-Enhanced Metal Matrix Composite Spur GearsBy Rishikesh Hanmant Tike, Nitish Kumar Gautam, Prasanna C. Kattimani, Narendra Bhople, Ritesh Fegade, Rupendra Nehete, Vithoba Tale, Ramakant Chaudhari
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). …
