Title: Stress analysis of a helical gear set with localized bearing contact
Abstract: This study investigates the contact stress and bending stress of a helical gear set with localized bearing contact, by means of finite element analysis (FEA). The proposed helical gear set comprises an involute pinion and a double crowned gear. Mathematical models of the complete tooth geometry of the pinion and the gear have been derived based on the theory of gearing. Accordingly, a mesh-generation program was also developed for finite element stress analysis. The gear stress distribution is investigated using the commercial FEA package, ABAQUS/Standard. Furthermore, several examples are presented to demonstrate the influences of the gear's design parameters and the contact positions on the stress distribution.
