Gear-Related Stress Analysis and Comparison Between the Fem and Agma Standards
Abstract: In many different devices, gears enable the efficient transfer of motion and torque. They are an essential component of modern mechanical power transmission systems. It has been demonstrated that bending and surface contact stresses at the gear tooth are the primary causes of gear failure, despite their widespread use. Too much stress can lead to tooth wear, pitting, or breakage, which can ultimately reduce the operating life and reliability of …

Design and Computational Analysis of Hybrid Carbon Fiber-Enhanced Metal Matrix Composite Spur Gears
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). …
