A photoelastic study of stress distribution in a spur gear tooth
As pointed out in the “Discussion of Results”, the sub-surface stresses in a gear tooth decrease very rapidly with its depth. This result serves as a supporting evidence to the common practice of case-hardening the gear teeth. Previously this was done according to the mechanical properties of the ge...
