ABSTRACT
Gear is the one of the important machine element in the mechanical power
transmission system. Spur gear is most basic gear used to transmit power
between parallel shafts. Spur gear generally fails by bending failure or
contact failure. This paper analyses the bending stresses characteristics of an
involute spur gear tooth under static loading conditions. The tooth profile is
generated using Catia and the analysis is carried out by Finite element
method using ANSYS software. The stresses at the tooth root are evaluated
analytically using existing theoretical models. The theoretical and FEM
results are compared. The results obtained theoretically are in good
agreement with those obtained from software. Also an attempt is made to
introduce Stress and displacement characteristics of tooth under dynamic
loading conditions.
Key words: Ansys, Bending stress & Deflection by FEA, Dynamic analysis,
Static analysis, Spur gear.

1. INTRODUCTION
In the today’s world of industrialization Gears are the major means for the mechanical
power transmission system, and in most industrial rotating machinery. Because of the
high degree of reliability and compactness gears dominates the field of mechanical
power transmission. Gearbox is used to convert the input provided by a prime mover
into an output required by end application. Due to increasing demand for quiet and
long-term power transmission in machines, vehicles, elevators and generators, people
are looking for a more precise analysis method of the gear systems. Spur gear is the
most basic gear used to transmit power between two parallel shafts with almost 99%
efficiency. It requires the better analysis methods for designing highly loaded spur
gears for power transmission systems that are both strong and quiet. Due to
development of computers people are using numerical approach for the analysis
