Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around a new forum for engineers, focusing on knowledge sharing, experiences, and advice related to engineering topics. The specific context includes a mechanical engineering student's graduation project involving gears and the use of ANSYS software for stress analysis.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • A participant expresses enthusiasm for the forum and shares their background as a mechanical engineer from Iraq, highlighting their graduation project on gears and seeking assistance with ANSYS software.
  • Another participant notes that many relevant academic papers on gear stress are not freely available and suggests looking into publications from organizations like AGMA for resources.
  • Links to various resources are provided, although some participants indicate that these may not fully meet the original poster's needs.
  • A participant offers tutorials related to Pro-E for involute gear forms, suggesting that while not directly applicable to ANSYS, they may still provide useful information.
  • The original poster expresses gratitude for the resources shared and reiterates the need for specific tutorials on using ANSYS for their project.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the value of shared resources, but there is no consensus on the availability of suitable tutorials for ANSYS or the specific needs of the original poster's project.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations regarding the availability of free resources and the applicability of shared tutorials to the specific software being used by the original poster.

Who May Find This Useful

Mechanical engineering students, professionals interested in gear design, and those seeking collaborative knowledge sharing in engineering contexts.

Hi everyone

this is a fantastic forum ,I have browsed through the threads and found it fantastic to
such a community for engineers to share knowledge ,experience and advice. It will boost
the mutual interests of members ,so consequently I registered today and I would like
you to accept me as a friend.
I'm a mechanical engineer from Iraq ,mechanics is my ultimate passion specially when it
comes for designing machines ,and all kinds of vehicles .This is my last undergraduate
year and I'm supposed to graduate in a few months ,after gud bless .

I have a graduation project which is about gears and I'm conducting most of the work
via Ansys 5.4 software by which I'm trying to draw a gear ,assign a load on one of it's
teeth and get a graph which illustrates the regions of stress concentration,so if anyone
has a tutorial articles or program concerning this particular subject and can help I would
be very grateful.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
The majority of papers I have seen on the topic are not available for free. Usually you have to purchase them from organizations like AGMA. I would suggest looking through their publications. You will find pretty much anything you are ever going to need.

For starters:
http://courses.washington.edu/mengr356/daly/Gear_stress.pdf

Here are a couple of links, but they're not entirely helpful for what you're doing.

Thank you FredGarvin the links you've listed are truly beneficial ,It will do me good on
the theoretical part of my project.but I still need apply these theories on a computer software i.e. (ansys 5.40) and I need some tutorials to help me deal with that programs
specially the method of drawing gear's teeth.thank you very much again and I appreciate that significant help.
 
Here are a couple of tutorials referencing Pro-E for doing involute gear forms. While it is not ANSYS, you should be able to glean a lot of how to information from them.

EDIT: Crud. One of my pdf files is above the limit for file size. Let me see if I can reduce its size.
