Design of asymmetric gear and accurate bending stress analysis using the es-pim with triangular mesh

摘要

This paper proposes a novel design of an asymmetric gear that applies a larger pressure angle in the drive side and a standard pressure angle in the coast side via accurate stress analysis using the edge-based smoothed point interpolation method with triangular mesh (ES-PIM-(T3)). An asymmetric rack cutter is first developed. Then, the governing equations of the tooth profiles cut by the rack cutter are derived. Finally, five sets of asymmetric gears with the pressure angles of 20° /20°, 25° /20°, 30°/ 20°, 35°/ 20°, and 40°/ 20° are established to quantitatively check the stress distributions at the fillet of the drive side of these teeth. The best point for applying force in a static bending stress analysis and the best pressure angle in the drive side for a gear design are suggested.
