NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF STATIC AND DYNAMIC STRESSES IN SPUR GEAR MADE OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this current work, Purpose; to clearly the fundamental idea for constructing a design and
investigation of spur gear made of composite material its comes from the combination of (high
speeds, low noise, oil-les running, light weight, high strength, and more load capability)
encountered in modern engineering applications of the gear drives, when the usual metallic gear
cannot too overwhelming these combinations.
An analyzing of stresses and deformation under static and dynamic loading for spur gear tooth
by finite element method with isoparametric eight-nodded in total of 200 brick element with 340
nods in three degree of freedom per node was selected for this analysis. This is responsible for the
catastropic failure studying of spur gear made of composite material. Also obtain the natural
frequencies and the mode shape of the composite tooth under (concentrated and or moving on
surface profile) load of one half sinusoidal type impulse for two types of composite materials
(Glasses/Epoxy & Graphite/Epoxy) and they are compared with the mild steel gear values.
The appearances that improve the successfully of composite gear in the weight, stiffness, load
capability, and dynamic behavior respect to the mild steel, which is found that composite materials
may also be thought of as a material for power transmission gearing, from a stress point of view.
