What is Lewis Equation for Spur Gear Stresses about?
The Lewis equation provides a method to calculate bending stresses in gear teeth. It makes simplifying assumptions that the load acts at the tip of a single tooth and is distributed uniformly. In reality, the load is dynamic and shared between teeth. The greatest stress actually occurs below the tip during single pair contact. The modified Lewis and AGMA equations account for additional stress influencing factors like pitch line velocity, stress concentration, contact ratio, and shock loading.
