Abstract

This paper considers and compares the hysteresis stress and strain and the penetration property of spur gear assemblies based on three unique designs. Spur gear plays an important part in mechanical structures, and any mechanical setup should consider the execution of such a mechanical component under distinct designs to improve its mechanical productivity and sustainability. To explore the ways in which the mechanical behaviour of the designs varies with the design configurations, we integrate simulation analysis with an experimental study. The outcomes of this paper indicate considerable differences in both hysteresis stress, strain distribution, and penetration behavior measurements between three designs. The paper explains the stated disparities by the unique geometric layouts and material characteristics of each design. Furthermore, it emphasizes that some of the examined designs have lower hysteresis losses and favourable stress and strain distributions, which positively affects the long-term performance of gear systems. Other designs, however, exhibit severe penetration and stress concentrations leading to rapid gear wear and likely premature failure. In distinguishing these events, the present study offers a valuable approach to the parameters that influence the performance of gear systems and aids in the improvement of the design methodology.
