Gears are the most commonly used parts in automotive and industrial applications. One of most common modes of gear failures is tooth breakage, which is usually produced by the bending fatigue failure. It is important to manufacture the gears which can withstand the applied stresses in view of safety and economic requirement. This paper deals with bending fatigue strength for cold forged bevel gear. Especially, to compare fatigue characteristics for manufacturing processes difference, bending fatigue tests of bevel gears made by three different processes respectively. Results indicate that the fatigue strength of bevel gear is improved by cold forging process. Intergranular fracture is found on fatigue fracture surface, and dimples are observed on final fracture surface. The fatigue failure cannot be considered as a deterministic quantity, but must be characterized statistically. This study proposes a method to estimate bending fatigue lift of the bevel gear using the probability-load-life and Weibull analysis.

In this study, structural and fatigue analyses of the motor gears that control the height of car seat were carried out at angles of $10^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, and $30^{\circ}$. The study aims at examining which angle of the gear is superior in terms of effect on strength. In the structural and fatigue analyses, the force of 3136 N was applied to the gears, and the stress and deformation were obtained. As the analysis results, model B ($30^{\circ}$) is suggested to have the best strength and fatigue durability among the three models.

The power train of transmission for 21-ton grade wheel excavator makes use of a complex gear train composed of a planetary and helical gear system to drive the wheel excavator by transmitting power to the axle. The complex gear train with a shift mode is an important part of the transmission because of strength problems in an extreme environment. To calculate the specifications of the complex gear train and analyze the gear bending and compressive stresses of the complex gear train, this study analyzes gear bending and compressive stresses accurately for the optimal design of the complex gear train with respect to cost and reliability. In this article, the gear bending and compressive stresses of the complex gear train are calculated using the Lewes and Hertz equation. Evaluating the results with the data of the allowable bending and compressive stress from the stress and number of cycles curves of the gears verified the calculated specifications of the complex gear train. A computer structure analysis is performed with the 3D model of the planetary and helical gears to analyze the structure strength of the complex gear train. The results demonstrate that the durability and strength of the complex gear train are safe, because the safety factors of the bending and compressive stresses are more than 1.0.

The basic concept of ‘gear profile modification’ is to change a part of the involute profile to reduce the load in that area and appropriate profile modifications can help gears to run quietly and resist scoring., pitting, and tooth breakage. In this study, the modification of tooth profile to make a smooth transmission of the normal loads in spur gears has been developed. The modified tooth profile has been determined by the total deflection at contact points. We also compared our results with other experimental results.

일반적으로 기계구조물에서는 비교적 응력확대계수 K의 해석이 용이한 판 두께를 관통하는 관통크랙보다는 표면에 존재하는 결함에서 발생, 전파하는 표면 크랙이 대부분이다. 표면은 내부보다 소성변형에 대한 저항이 작고, 대기에 직접 접해 있으며, 평활재에 있어서의 인장, 압축이외의 응력은 일반적으로 표면에서 최대가 되는 등의 이유로 내부보다 쉽게 피로재해를 받는다. 침탄질화 열처리를 하는 중요한 목적이 재료 표면에 있어서 경화능과 피로강도의 향상이므로 침탄질화 처리재의 표면 크랙에 관한 연구가 절실히 요구됨은 당연하다.

This study deals with effects of heat-treatment on the bending fatigue of spur gears. The test gears are heat-treated by two different treatments. After carburization, one group of the test gears is quenched directly, while another group is furnace cooled, reheated then quenched. The fatigue test at a constant stress amplitude is performed by using an electrohydraulic serve-controlled pulsating tester. The S-N curves are obtained and illustrated.

This study deals with the effect on non-martensitic layer on the fatigue strength in carburized gear. The test gears are carburized, then treated by the combination of chemical polishing and electro-polishing. Carburization treatment is used widely on parts of power transmission system like surface hardened layer to improve fatigue strength. Carburized gears are observed using a scanning electron microscope(SEM) to determine the characteristics of crack initiation mechanism in the surface layer. The constant street amplitude fatigue test is performed by using and electro-hydraulic servo-controlled pulsating tester. The S-N curves are obtained and illustrated. The effect of non-martensitic layer on the fatigue strength is clarified.

Gears are useful for power transmission due to excellent power transmission performance, low cost, and compactness. In addition, gears have constant speed ratio, compact structure, and excellent efficiency. In order to transmit higher power, the new multi-range transmission requires gears which have greater strength than the existing transmission. This study evaluates stability and durability through gear analysis of the multi-range transmission in commercial vehicles using ROMAX-DESIGNER program. Also, strength design evaluation is carried out by the analysis results which are compared with gear strength theory of AGMA standard. Bending stress and contact stress on gears are lower than their allowable stresses. Therefore, we can evaluate the safety of the gear strength design in multi-range transmission.

ADI는 우수한 기계적 성질과 경제성을 바탕으로 80년내 들어 중요한 공업소재의 하나가 되었다. 성공적인 ADI 개발에 중요시 되는 요소로는 오스테나이트화 온도와 시간, 오스템퍼링 온도와 시간, 합금원소, 주물의 질 등이다. 온도와 시간은 ADI의 성능과 매우 밀접한 관계가 있으므로 엄격한 제어가 필요하다. 양질의 주물만이 양질의 ADI을 생산할 수 있으므로 열처리 전 주물의 질에 대한 관리가 필요하다. ADI의 우수한 성능으로는 고강도, 고연성 및 고인성, 내피로성, 내마모성 등이 있다. ADI의 성능을 이용하여 응용될 수 있는 분야는 기어 및 자동차 부품등의 단조강철 대체품과 주조성 및 가공성 등을 이용한 일반 공업제품에 이르기까지 다양하다. 경제적 측면에서의 ADI의 잇점은 생산에너지 및 가공비의 절감 등이다. 새 공업 소재로서의 ADI의 전망은 기술적, 경제적 측면에서 보강되어야 할 사항이 있으나, 이의 최대 장점인 우수한 강도 및 연성, 내 피로성, 파괴인성의 조합적인 기계적 성질과 강철 단조품에 대한 경제성, 주조가 부여하는 부품설계상의 융통성을 바탕으로 대단히 밝다고 할 수 있다.
