Modeling and Simulation of a Bevel Gear

Abstract

The objective of this study is the modeling and simulation of bevel gear. The article includes types of gear defining their arrangement. Different material is used according to their chemical properties, mechanical properties, and approximate cost, so that the required material can be taken based on the mechanical properties which suit the economic factor of the project. Simulation of stress on the bevel tooth is done to know the stress of different alloy steel materials. Based on the requirement material selection process can be done. In the designing and simulation of bevel gear for a gearbox, we tested the practical and analytical knowledge of the design and methodology in the gearbox. The main task of a gearbox is to vary speed resulting in output torque to be inverse of speed function. If the enclosed drive is a speed reducer (output speed is less than the input speed), which will increase the torque Output; if the drive increases speed, the output torque will reduce. Hence the article can prove useful for the selection of material for gearbox of ATV (all-terrain vehicle) as commonly used material for gearbox of ATV has to be taken into consideration.
