Week 1 Spur Gear Challenge
Case 1: Gray Cast Iron
Max Equivalent stress - 297.16MPa
Total deformation - 30mm
Eq. Elastic strain - 0.0031038mm
Stress intensity - 326.26 MPa
Case 2: Bronze, Cast
Max Equivalent stress - 366.77MPa
Total deformation - 30mm
Eq. Elastic strain - 0.0020372mm
Stress intensity - 410.64 MPa
Case 3 : Cast Bronze
Max Equivalent stress - 293.11MPa
Total deformation - 30mm
Eq. Elastic strain - 0.0037356mm
Stress intensity - 305.6 MPa
The best material to use for this application would be cast bronze as the max equivalent street and stress intensity are lower compared to the other two materials.
