A REVIEW ON ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL FOR SPUR GEAR UNDER STATIC LOADING CONDITION

Utkarsh. M. Desai, Prof. Dhaval. A. Patel

Abstract :

Spur gear is the simplest & widely used in power transmission system. A spur Gear is generally subjected to bending stress which causes teeth failure. However it is observed that performance of the spur gear is not satisfactory in certain applications and therefore it is required to explore some alternate materials to improve the performance of the spur gears. Composite materials provide adequate strength with weight reduction and they are emerging as a better alternative for replacing metallic gears. In this work, A metallic gear of Alloy Steel is replaced by the composite gear of 30% Glass filled Poly–ether–ether– Ketone (PEEK). Such Composites material provides much improved mechanical properties such as better strength to weight ratio, more hardness, and hence less chances of failure. In this work, an analysis is made with replacing metallic gear with composite material such as PEEK so as to increase the working life of the gears to improve overall performance of machine. Finally the Modeling of spur gear is carried out using SOLID WORK and bending stress analysis of spur gear is carried out using ANSYS V14.
