Study on Welded Structure Gears : 9th Report, Deformation & Stress on One Side Built-in Thin Plate Shell When Concentrated load is Applied

Abstract

In order to study about deformation and stress characteristic on thin rim gears which is needed to determine the rim thickness, we calculate the deformation quantity and stress values on a removed gear tooth thin plate shell which is one side free and the other side built-in. In this case we neglect the gear tooth itself and accordingly this model deviates far from actual condition, but we can get basic characteristic to calculate rim thickness when concentrated load acts upon the shell. Assuming the above, we point out that the theoretical equation is an approximate equation so it is limited by dimension of shell.
