Abstract: | An analytical approach for stress analysis of gear drives with localized bearing contact based on the Hertz theory is proposed. The proposed approach provides a complete and effective solution of the contact problem but satisfaction of the hypotheses for application of the Hertz theory is its main drawback. On the other hand, a finite element model has been developed and validated in terms of the contact area, maximum contact pressure, pressure distribution, maximum Tresca stress, and Tresca stress distribution underneath the contacting surfaces. Validation of the finite element model is provided for those cases wherein the Hertz theory can be applied. The obtained results confirm the applicability of the proposed approach for gear drives with localized bearing contact wherein edge contact is avoided by surface modifications and whole crowning of tooth surfaces is provided. |
