Contact Stresses and Bending stresses for Worm & Helical Gear

Abstract

Surface Strength of the gear tooth depends on the contact stress and the bending stress caused due to the applied load on the tip of its gear tooth. Analysis has become popular in decreasing the failures. Fatigue causes in the root bending stress and Surface indentation causes in the contact stress. Then modified Lewis beam strength is used for bending stress and the AGMA method is used for contact stresses by varying the face width. Analytical results are based on Lewis formula and the theoretical values were calculated by AGMA standard so the results were validated.
