Abstract
Stress patterns are created in the plastic spur gear tooth body by introducing a hole or a steel pin to improve stress distribution. Static analysis using finite element method is carried out to show the effect. The result shows that maximum stress as well as tooth tip displacement is dependent on the size and location of a hole or a steel pin. When a hole located on the tooth center line, the maximum static stress level and the tooth tip deflection is always higher than that of a solid gear. But, a considerable reduction in the maximum stress and tooth tip displacement is achieved by insertion of steel pin.
