One of the most important elements in mechanical engineering design; are gears. Gears arethe most durable and rugged among all mechanical drives and can be used for transmittingmaximum power with greater efficiency. Gears are used in no. of industrial applications.Strength of any gear depends upon the profile of gear tooth. Wear and friction between twogears are also dependent on the involute tooth profile which directly affect the bending andfatigue strength of gears. In this paper various methodologies are identified by studyingvarious research papers to increase the strength of gears with minor modification in geartooth profile.Keywords: Gear design, involute tooth profile, velocity ratio, bending, fatigue strengthCite this ArticleJani Shivang S, Kanani Jayendra B.
