Vibration Analysis and Optimization of Spur Gear Used in EOT Crane Machine

A gear is a rotating machine part having cut tooth, which mesh with another toothed part in order to transmit torque. To design the spur gear to study the weight reduction and stress distribution for cast steel and composite materials. Gearing is one of the most critical components in a mechanical power transmission system, and in most industrial rotating machinery. The main objective of this research work is to introduce a new gear material for gear. EN32A, EN24 is selected for suitability analysis. Gears are the important part of any machine application like electric overhead travel, machine tool, automobile for power transmission. The main part of this research work is to identify the natural frequency and natural vibration modes of EN32A, EN24 gear and also the effect of change in mass of gear. This project is based on the topology optimization of the existing gear with the reduction of material from the gear and to reduce the total weight of the gear. F.E. Modelling shall be pursued for deriving analytical solution to the problem while physical experimentation would be done to offer inputs to the work and validate the model at the initial phase of work. Hyper Works is being considered as a CAE tool for Pre-processing, Solving and Post processing. The experiment would be performed on the physical setup for the existing/ benchmark case. citation:Yogesh P. Chaudhari, Dr. D. Y.
