1.Introduction to gear:
Gearing is one of the most effective methods transmitting power and rotary motion from the
source to its application with or without change of speed or direction. Gears will prevail as a
critical machine element for transmitting power in future machines due to their high degree of
reliability and compactness. The rapid development of heavy industries such as vehicle,
A gearbox consists of a set of gears, shafts and bearings that are mounted in an enclosed
lubricated housing. They are available in a broad range of sizes, capacities and speed ratios.
Their function is to convert the input provided by the prime mover into an output with lower
speed and corresponding higher torque. In this thesis, analysis of the characteristics of helical
elevators, generators, etc…. has created an increasing demand for more accurate analysis of the
characteristics of gear systems. For instance in automobile industry highly reliable and
lightweight gears are essential. Further more the best way to diminution of noise in engine
requires the fabrication of silence gear system. Noise reduction in gear pairs is especially
critical in the rapidly growing today’s technology since the working environment is badly
influenced by noise. The most successful way of gear noise reduction is attained by decreasing
of vibration related with them. The reduction of noise by vibration control can be achieved

1.4 Gear Terminology and Nomenclature
The diametral pitch describes the gear tooth size. The diametral pitch is expressed as the number of teeth
per inch of pitch diameter. Larger gears have fewer teeth per inch of diameter pitch. Anotherway of
saying this; gear teeth size varies inversely with diametral pitch.
The pitch diameter refers to the diameter of pitch circle .If the gear pitch is known then the pitch
PD =N/P
where, PD=pitch diameter N=number of teeth on the gear P = diametral pitch (gear size)
The pitch circle is the geometrical starting point for designing gears and gear trains. Gear trains refer
4
to systems of two or more meshing gears. The pitch circle is an imaginary circle that contacts the
pitch circle of any other gear with which it is in mesh. See fig. below.
1.4.4 Addendum
The addendum refers to the distance from the top of the tooth to the pitch circle.
1.4.5 Dedendum
The dedendum refers to the distance from the Pitch circle to the root circle.
1.4.6 Clearance(C)
Refer to the radial distance between the top and bottom of gears in mesh. Some machinists and
mechanics refer to clearance as “play” or the degree of looseness between mating parts.
Refers to the distance from the top of the tooth to the bottom of the tooth .The whole depth is
WD=2.157/P
Where, P=pitch
The pressure angle figure into the geometry or form of the gear tooth. It refers to the angle through
which force are transmitted between meshing gears.14.5-degree Tooth forms were the original
“standard” gear design. While they are still widely available, the 20 degree PA gear tooth forms
have wider bases and can transmit Greater loads. Note: 14.5-degree PA tooth forms will not mesh
with 20-degree PA teeth .Be certain to verify the pressure angle of the gears you use.
5
1.4.9 Center Distance
The center distance of 2 spur gears is the distance from the center shaft of one spur Gear to the center
shaft of the other. Center to center distance for two gears in mesh can be calculated with this formula.
6
CHAPTER 2
Helical gears are used for parallel shaft drives. They have enamel inclined to the axis as proven in fig. 1.
For this reason for the identical width, their teeth are longer than spur gears and have better load supporting
capacity. their touch ratio is higher than spur gears and that they operate smoother and quieter than spur gears.
Their precision rating is ideal. they're recommended for extremely high speeds and masses. Hence, these gears
discover extensive packages in car gearboxes as illustrated in fig.Their performance is barely decrease than spur
gears. the helix perspective additionally introduces axial thrust on the shaft.
In mechanical engineering, a helix angle is the angle between any helix and an axial line on its right,
circular cylinder or cone. Common applications are screws, helical gears, and worm gears. the helix angle
references the axis of the cylinder, distinguishing it from the lead angle, which references a line perpendicular to
the axis. clearly, the helix angle is the geometric supplement of the lead perspective. the helix attitude is
measured in levels.
7
Fig: 2.1.1 Helix angle
2.2 CONCEPT
In terms specific to screws, the helix angle can be located via unraveling the helix from the screw, representing
the phase as a right triangle, and calculating the perspective this is fashioned. note that while the terminology
directly refers to screws, those ideas are analogous to maximum mechanical programs of the helix altitude
Where
8
l is lead of the screw or gear
rm is mean radius of the screw thread or gear
Used in automobiles
Helix angle must be the same for both the mating
9
2.3 Helical Gears Geometry and Nomenclature:
The helix angle ψ, is always measured on the cylindrical pitch surface. ψ value is not standardized. It
ranges between 150 and 450 . Commonly used values are 15, 23, 30 or 45deg . Lower values give less end thrust.
Higher values result in smoother operation and more end thrust. Above 45degrees is not recommended.
The circular pitch (p) and pressure angle (α) are measured in the plane of rotation, as in spur gears.
These quantities in normal plane are denoted by suffix n (pn , αn ) as shown in Fig.
pn = p cos ψ
Normal module mn
For axial overlap of adjacent teeth, b ≥ pa (3.5) In practice b = (1.15 ~2) pa is used. In the case of a helical
gear, the resultant load between mating teeth is always perpendicular to the tooth surface. Hence bending
stresses are computed in the normal plane, and the strength of the tooth as a cantilever beam depends on its
profile in the normal plane. Fig shows the view of helical gear in normal and transverse plane. Fig. shows the
pitch cylinder and one tooth of a helical gear. The normal plane intersects the pitch cylinder in an ellipse. If d
10
is the pitch diameter of the helical gear, the major and minor axes of the ellipse will be d/cos ψ and d. The
radius of curvature Re at the extremes of minor axis from coordinate geometry is found to be d/(2 cos2 ψ).
The shape of the tooth in the normal plane is nearly the same as the shape of a spur gear tooth having a pitch
Re = d/(2cos2 ψ)
The equivalent number of teeth (also called virtual number of teeth), , is defined as the number of teeth in a gear
When we compute the bending strength of helical teeth, values of the Lewis form factor Y are the same as for
spur gears having the same number of teeth as the virtual number of teeth (Zv ) in the Helical gear and a pressure
angle equal to αn . Determination of geometry factor J is also based on the virtual number of teeth.
11
Fig 2.3 :Tooth force and its components acting on a right hand helical gear
In helical gears, the normal module mn should be selected from standard values, the first preference values are
mn (in mm) = 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5,6, 8 and 10 The standard proportions of addendum and dedendum are
ha = mm , hf = 1.25 mm , c = 0.25 mm The addendum and dedendum circle diameters are given respectively;
b ≥ g mn/sin †
Fr = Fn sin αn
Ft = Fn cos αn cos ψ
Fa = Fn cos αn sin ψ
12
Fr = Ft tan α
Fa = Ft tan ψ
Beam Strength of a helical gear normal plane is considered equivalent to that of a spur gear in
Or
Sb = (Sb )n cos ψ
Sb = mn b σb Υn
Beam strength Sb indicates the maximum value of tangential force that the tooth can transmit without bending
failure.
13
As we know that in case of helical gear ,engagement of helical gear teeth will start from one end
to a tooth of helical gear with other tooth of mating helical gear and spread continuously
throughout the tooth as gear rotates. such gradual engagement of helical gear will provide the
Helical gears could be used to produce transmit power between two parallel shafts and also
There will we less wear and tear in case of helical gear during operation as compared to wear and
tear in case in case spur gear operation as if we consider helical operation, load will be distributed
between several teeth at any time and that is why there will be less war and tear in operation of
helical gear
Helical gear will have more capability to transmit load between two parallel shafts as compared to
When a pair of helical gear meshes with each other, there will be certain of axial thrust load on
gear due to helix angle of gear teeth and therefore gear box designer has to select such bearings
There will be sliding movement between mating gear teeth in case of helical gear and heat
generation will be more as compared to spur gear application. Therefore helical gear requires
One pair of mating helical gear will have less efficiency as compared to efficiency of mating
14
spur gears of similar size.
Power loss in case of helical gear train operation will be more as compared to spur gear train
operation.
Manufacturing and designing cost of helical gears will be more as compared to spur gear.
Helical gears are normally preferred to work under heavy load efficiently. When we need silent
operations such as in automobile applications, we prefer to use helical gears as such gears work
Helical gears are used in fertilizer industries, printing industries and earth moving industries
Helical gears are also used in steel, rolling mills, section rolling mills, power and port industries.
Helical gears are also used in textile industries, plastic industries, food industries, conveyors,

of 0.3%carbon.For gear products, Induction hardening is effective for hardening toot areas including tooth
surface and the tip, However the root may not be hardened in some cases, Generally, The precision of gears

3. Literature Review
This research attempts to review literatures, which are relevance to analysis gear of stresses Isay and Fong [2]
applied the tooth contact analysis technique (TCA) and finite element method (FEM) to gear contact and stress
analysis. In their study, a mathematical model for pinion and gear involutes teeth is assumed. The geometry of
the gears are described by parameters of manufacturing. Computer simulations of the conditions of gear
meshing including the axes misalignment and center distance variation are performed. Their paper showed that
the locations of total deformation and strain pattern of mating tooth surfaces are determined by TCA techniques.
The results of the TCA provide the location and the direction of applied loads for the computer aided FEM stress
analysis,by applying the given mathematical model and TCA techniques. A three-dimensional stress analysis for
this type of gearing was investigated by Von-Mises stress contour distribution. Vljayaragan and Ganesan [4]
presented a static analysis of composite helical gears system using three dimensional finite element methods to
study the displacements and stresses at various points on a helical gear tooth. The validity of their results of the
FEM was tested by the root stress for scm440 material gear and comparing the result with obtained from
conventional gear design equation. The paper presented also the evaluation of the performance of composite
helical gears by companion of with that of the conventional carbon steel gear. It is observed form the result that
20
composite materials can be used safely for power transmission helical gears but the face width has to be suitably
increased.

shear elastic strain is 0.0009797 m/m, which is in range as per our design calculations. The occurrence of
max shear elastic strain along the helical teeth justifies that our design criteria is correct according to the

By changing helix angle we will compare which is better for gear tooth of 20. Helical gears make the operation
gearing smooth. In helical gear contact of gear and pinion teeth would be gradual,unlike the spur gears .Increasing
helix angle will make gear smooth but increase axial load,so it can have negative effect on transmission. Power
loss is still present and with increasing helix angle it will continue to go high so reducing helix angle
is better compared to increase in some conditions.So from our analysis,the gears with helix angle 15 are better for the

Analytical method of gear analysis uses a number of assumptions and simplifications and it is intended to
determine the maximum stress values. In this paper, numerical approach has used for predicting the static
equivalent stress ,strain and total deformation of involute helical gear. A parametric study is also made by
varying the helix angle to investigate their effect on the helical gears. The contribution of this thesis work can be
summarized as follows:
The strength of the gear tooth is a crucial parameter to prevent failure. In this study, it is
shown that the effective method to estimate the total deformation using three dimensional
model of the gear and to verify the accuracy of this method the results with different number
of teeth are compared with the standard formula.
Here we will study which material is best after performimg static analysis on each material
and by changing helix angle.
Based on result we could select best one for recommendation and future work.
The thesis paper can be an interest for researchers, instructors and postgraduate students who
have great enthusiasm to work more on gears. It may give enlightenment about the
characteristics of involute helical gears and evoke pervious works of various bodies that are
involved in gears research and production. Further more this study contribute to a better gear
design, assist technological institutions and all those who are interested in invloute helical
gears. More work can be done to improve this study and to obtain better output. Generally, the
following areas are worthy for further research in the light of this thesis.
Further three dimensional numerical method of investigation and study can be conducted on
the analysis of static analysis for all types of gears such as spur, bevel and other tooth forms.
Further numerical method of investigation and study can be conducted on the whole gearbox
with all elements in the system including gear casing and bearing.

Further numerical method of investigation and study can be conducted on gears in mesh under
dynamic condition with and with out cracked teeth, surface pitting or wear.
The static analysis of gears made of different materials using three-dimensional finite element
analysis can be recommended as future work.
