Abstract
A procedure is presented for performing three-dimensional stress analy sis of spiral bevel gears in mesh using the finite element method. The procedure involves generating a finite element model by solving equat ions that identify tooth surface coordinates. Coordinate transformatio ns are used to orientate the gear and pinion for gear meshing. Contact boundary conditions are simulated with gap elements. A solution techn ique for correct orientation of the gap elements is given. Example mod els and results ave presented.
