FEA FOR STRESS REDUCTION AT THE ROOT OF THE SPUR GEAR

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of spur gear roots employed in a shredder machine, utilizing Ansys Workbench for design and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Static Structural analysis. The investigation focuses on the comparative performance of three materials: carbon steel, copper alloy, and cast iron. Through meticulous examination, the study evaluates the stress distribution and deformation patterns in the gear teeth under operating conditions, assessing the potential for fatigue failure. Furthermore, model analysis is conducted to measure vibration characteristics, providing insights into the dynamic behavior of the gears. By scrutinizing these aspects, the research aims to identify the most suitable material for the gear application, considering both structural integrity and vibrational stability, thereby enhancing the overall performance and longevity of the shredder machine.
