Plastic deformation under high load is a phenomenon that affects the ring gear when heavy torque is applied to the hypoid gear. This study clarified the mechanism of plastic deformation under high load and identified its cause as an internal yield under the line of contact. It was also found that the line of contact near the heel has a large influence. Finally, a hypoid gear design method was formulated based on the contribution of each design variable to plastic deformation under high load.
