Automatização da análise de crateramento em engrenagens cilíndricas de dentes retos

Abstract

Gears are essential in mechanical systems and can be designed for various purposes. To avoid failures, it is important to follow the recommendations of the AGMA standard (American Gear Manufacturers Association). Computational programs are effective in the development of mechanical elements and can simplify the study of mechanical structures. Computational tools can be useful in decision-making in specific areas of mechanical engineering, such as in the calculation of straight-toothed cylindrical gears. This study aims to automate the analysis of pitting in straight-toothed cylindrical gears through the development of a computational tool in Python. A literature review was conducted on the subject, followed by the implementation of calculations based on the ANSI/AGMA standard and the development of a web platform using the Django framework. The developed tool proved to be modestly effective, capable of calculating the AGMA contact stress and suggesting different hardness values for a normalized safety factor of 1. Therefore, the user has the ability to choose the best option for their application based on the suggestions provided by the tool.
