Effect of Fillet Radius on Bending Stress in Helical Gear using FEA
Abstract: A well-optimized change in root fillet radius could greatly benefit helical gear operation by providing a smoother transmission with less impact and noise. The fillet area of the gear root is an area of extensive bending stress concentration. An increase in fillet radius for helical gears is considered to minimise the bending stress at the gear tooth's base. This paper develops appropriate models of various gear tooth profiles of the …

Assessment of Deflection for Deck Slab Bridge
Abstract: The deflection of deck slab is found with respect to bending stress and normal stress and compared with its permissible value. Span of the deck slab plays an important role in deflection. As span increases more bending takes place hence we get more deflection against bending stress. Also normal stress increases due to increase in span since more load is involved. Width of deck slab is kept constant and span …

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 …

Flexibility Analysis of Refinery Piping System
Abstract: Piping systems in downstream refineries and process plants experience a great thermal strain due to the difference between ambient and operating temperatures of process and utility fluid flowing through them. This thermal growth causes thermal stresses which leads to failure in piping components like flange leakage, deflection in piping, fractures at nozzle juncture and other fatal errors in piping system. Therefore, these piping structures must be flexible enough to support …

Computation of Different Stresses Acting on Cantilever Beam Using Hyperbolic Shear Deformation Theory
Abstract: The shear deformation effects are more significant in the thick beams. The classical beam theory (ETB) is based on Bernoulli-Euler hypothesis and the classical plate theory (CPT) is based on Kirchhoff’s hypothesis. The shear deformation effects are more pronounced in the thick beams when subjected to transverse loads than in the thin beams under same loading condition. These effects are neglected in elementary theory of beam (ETB). In order to …

Effect of Span, Load Intensity, and Beam Geometry on Stress and Deflection Behavior of RCC Beams
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of variations in beam geometry, span, load intensity, and permissible stresses on the structural behavior of reinforced concrete beams. Using classical bending and shear stress formulations, the effects of a 20% increase in key parameters were analytically evaluated. Results indicate that a 20% increase in beam span leads to a proportional 20% increase in beam depth, whereas a 20% increase in beam width or permissible …
