Abstract

In this project, an attempt has been made to design, model and finite element analysis of spur gear using composite
material. Conventional spur gears are made up of cast iron or mild steel. Composite material could be an alternative for
conventional materials considering the advantage of less weight, rust formation and less maintenance. Modeling of spur
gear is done using solid works and finite element analysis is done in Ansys. Based on the analysis results it is suggested that
short carbon reinforced (SCF) nylon to be used in place of cast iron or mild steel for limited load applications under 1500
watts.
