Abstract

This research describes simple and innovative approach to reduce bending stress at tooth root of asymmetric spur gear tooth which is desire for improve high load carrying capacity. In gear design at root of tooth circular-filleted is widely used. Blending of the involute profile of tooth and circular fillet creates discontinuity at root of tooth causes stress concentration occurs. In order to minimize stress concentration, geometric continuity of order 2 at the blending of gear tooth plays very important role. Bezier curve is used with geometric continuity of order 2 at tooth root of asymmetric spur gear to reduce bending stress.
