This paper focus
on the comparative fatigue life prediction of spur gears based on finite
element method under fully reversed load conditions. Gears being the vital
components of any automobiles, power generation systems and in heavy machinery
industries, need to have good fatigue properties such as fatigue life,
endurance limit and fatigue strength for better life and performance of the
equipment or machinery. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to simulate
fully reversed loading conditions in the fatigue life prediction on general
gear materials, SAE materials like ALSI4027, SAE1045-450-QT, SAED 5506 and SAE5160-825-QT. The finite element method (FEM) has been
performed on the gear models to observe the distribution of stress and damage.
A comparison was made on the fatigue life and the results were analyzed. Finally,
conclusions were given.
