Structural analysis of spur gear on Ansys

DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING UET KSK

Supervisor Name: Sir Luqman Razzaq

Introduction Calculation & Geometry

Gear is one of the important machine element in the
mechanical power transmission system. Spur gear used to
transmit power between parallel shafts. Spur gear generally
fails by bending failure or contact failure.

Objectives
The main objective is the structural analysis of spur gear
on Ansys software.

On Ansys we examine that how deformation occur when
we applied load .we mainly examine the following things
on Ansys. Fig 1:Calculation & Geometry

• Total deformation
• Strain energy Total deformation
• Normal stress
• Maximum Shear stresses

Results & Discussion

CONTACT INFORMATION Step 1: selection of material • The maximum stress (43546 pascal) for gear teeth occur in root
ARBAB ASHRAF region of gear tooth and minimum stress occur in the negative side
2017-ME-370 Stainless Steel of load point
• The maximum deformation (2.03x10-7) occur in the upper region of
gear tooth
Step 2: Ansys geometry
Future Work
Insert 3D spur gear geometry on Ansys • In future, light weight and high strength gears can be used in
aerospace field by analysis of gears

Phase 3 : Analysis of Data
