Numerical simulation of meshing polymer and composite involute gears

Zorko, D. ; Duhovnik, J. and Tavčar, J. LU (2016) 21st International Scientific Conference: Mechanika 2016 p.317-325
Abstract

The results of a numerical simulation of meshing polymer and composite gears are presented in the paper. The numerical model used for simulations was built in Ansys Workbench 15.0, using the finite element method to obtain the solution. The results are related to the gear tests, performed by the authors and presented in the literature. A detailed stress and strain analysis of meshing gears is presented. On the basis of which gears of different polymer and composite materials can be rated and appropriate material combinations can be chosen. With the presented numerical model, root and flank stresses in each meshing point along the path of contact can be calculated. Stresses (root and flank) obtained by simulations will be compared with... (More)

The results of a numerical simulation of meshing polymer and composite gears are presented in the paper. The numerical model used for simulations was built in Ansys Workbench 15.0, using the finite element method to obtain the solution. The results are related to the gear tests, performed by the authors and presented in the literature. A detailed stress and strain analysis of meshing gears is presented. On the basis of which gears of different polymer and composite materials can be rated and appropriate material combinations can be chosen. With the presented numerical model, root and flank stresses in each meshing point along the path of contact can be calculated. Stresses (root and flank) obtained by simulations will be compared with the stresses calculated according to VDI 2736 guideline. The numerical model takes into account friction between the tooth flanks in contact, which significantly contributes to improving the accuracy of the numerical solution.
