Problem 10-14 pg. 490
A straight bevel gear pair has the following data: Np=15; NG=45; Pd=6; 20 pressure angle.
If the pair is transmitting 3.0 hp, compute the forces on both the pinion and the gear. The pinion
is 300 rpm. The face width is 1.25 in. Compute the bending stress and the contact stress for
the teeth, and specify a suitable material and heat treatment. The gear are driven by a gasoline
engine, and the load is a concrete mixer providing moderate shock. Assume that neither gear
is straddle-mounted.
