Fig. (c)Shows the variation of residual verses number of teeth for the different polynomial namely 2
nd
order, 3
rd
order
and 4
th
order polynomial respectively. The graph shows the maximum residual is at number of teeth Between 60 to 70
and minimum residual is at number of teeth Between 40 to 50 for the 2
nd
order polynomial. The 3
rd
order polynomial
shows that the maximum residual is at number of teeth at 80 and minimum residual is at 30 similarly for the 4
th
order
polynomial the maximum residual is at number of teeth 40 and minimum residual is at number of teeth 30. Finally
from the graph it is observed that the maximum deviation is in 2
nd
order polynomial and it is in accurate, also due to
large data computation problem involved in the 4
th
order polynomial hence 3
rd
order polynomial eliminates
inaccuracy and it performs the data computation easily so it is concluded that usage of 3
rd
order polynomial is
essential.
VI. CONCLUSION AND SCOPE OF FUTURE WORK
6.1 Conclusion
- Introduction of stress relieving features can be adopted without affecting the interchangeability and functionality
of the gear of existing gear systems.
- Slight reduction in root fillet stress results in large increase in fatigue life of gear.
- It is possible to predict the percentage of reduction in root fillet stress with a maximum deviation of 2%.
- It also meets out the necessary kinematic constraints as the functional part of the gear profile is unaltered.
- The geometry of the spur gear created in an Ansys environment using APD Language and it eliminates the
problem of geometric data loss and time required to transfer the data from one modeling environment to analysis
environment.
- The analysis gives the maximum percentage of reduction in root fillet stress in spur gear is obtained about
18.032% for the gear parameters no. of teeth, profile shift factor, tool tip radius and pressure angle (80, -0.2, 0.2
and 25).
- It is desirable to use the 3
rd
order polynomial instead of 2
nd
and 4
th
order polynomial because it eliminates the
problem of inaccuracy and large data computations which are involved in the 2
nd
and 4
th
order polynomial.
- The technique can be employed to improve further even on gears in which the stress reductions are already
achieved by modifying nonfunctional portion of the tooth profile.
6.2 Scope of future work
For further continuation of this work the following scope are specified:
The work presented is carried for static condition the method can be extended for dynamic analysis by defining
the contact element.
The method can be extended for the fatigue analysis of gear. The comparative study can also be done by using
three dimensional models and two dimensional models.
The method presented herein can be extended for the analysis of helical gears.
The method can be extended for the study the effect of bending stress for spur gear tooth with spokes. The
method can be extended for wear analysis of gear tooth.
The method can be extended for vibration analysis and noise reduction.
The method can be extended for the deflection analysis of spur gear.
