Model and Structural Analysis of Hypoid Gear

The objective of the present work is to analyze the structural behaviour of differential hypoid gear. The gear is made up of different alloy materials as compared with the conventional metallic materials. The alloy materials can withstand adequate strength and are suitable for being a better alternative for replacing of metallic gears. The alloy materials considered here are Aluminium Alloy, Titanium Alloy and Monel 500 and compared with the Ni-Cr steel. In this work, an attempt has been made to replace the metallic gears of Ni-Cr steel with the suitable alloy materials. For the analysis purpose, the solid model is created by using CATIA V5R20 software, and ANSYS 17.1 is used to determine the total deformation, Von-Mises stress and equivalent elastic strain for the different materials at different speeds.
