The motive of this work is to determine contact stress of spur gear by application of static analyis. Using Finite element method a numerical study have been carried out to examine the effects of the material on contact stress behavioural characteristics of a gear. The gears used for the analysis are spur gears and the contact stress analysis is performed between pair of mating gear teeth. The benefit of comparing is to calculate the bending stress analysis using Lewis equation and contact stress with principle of Hertz equation. The results found are satisfactory in comparison with the Hertz equation. Furthermore, the analysis is extended for different materials experimented with various modules.
