The Effect Of Sensitivity Of Sub-Surface Fatigue Cracks During Service Stage Of Gears R.Vyjayanthi ,Dr.B.Venkatesh Department of mechanical engineering Vardhaman College of engineering India, Hyderabad, 500070 Vyjayanthi8@Gmail.Com Abstract—Gears are one of the most critical components in mechanical power transmission systems. Gear failures occur due to defect formation during manufacturing and service stage of gear .Mostly failures during service stage of gear show major effect on the component. Development in technology evaluated a new technique of inspection called Non-destructive testing technique to detect and characterize such defects and anomalies in the component, and also ensuring pre-service quality and monitoring in-service degradation to avoid pre-mature failure of the component. In this paper sub-surface fatigue crack that occur most commonly during service stage, ultrasonic inspection for finding sensitivity of crack in gears and its effects on life of gear during service stage is discussed. Keywords—sub-surface fatigue crack; ultrasonic inspection; Sensitivity of flaw;effects. I. INTRODUCTION The field of non-destructive testing (NDT) is a very broad, interdisciplinary field that plays a critical role in assuring that structural components and systems perform their function in a reliable and cost effective manner [4]. NDT techniques are used to locate and characterize material conditions and flaws that cause major damages to the systems and components.
In the specimens, all showed a brittle fracture due to how the stress vs strain slope looked and where the Ultimate Tensile Strength was located. Also, how the composited specimens failed look consistent that there were any defects in the specimens. The 0°/90° carbon/epoxy specimen failed in the longitudinal direction because of how the fibers were aligned in that direction. The two ±45° glass/ epoxy specimen failed in the 45-degree direction do to how the fibers were aligned in the specimens. These failures would make sense because composites fail when fiber become unconnected so the epoxy failed first and then cause the fibers to fail next. The fibers individual are weak but when are combined and form a pattern with other fibers is how the strength

The transmission on your vehicle plays a vital role in keeping your vehicle on the road and working properly. If your transmission is damaged, you are not going to be able to safety drive your vehicle and if your transmission suffers serious damage, you are not going to be able to drive at all.
Have you recently purchased an automatic vehicle? Is this the first vehicle that you've ever owned? While you may have gotten some care tips from friends or relatives, they may have glossed over or forgotten about your transmission. While the transmission is a mysterious device for some people, there are still clear warning signs that is in need of repair or replacement. Here are a few things that you should be looking for:
Mechanical equipment needs to be maintained to run effectively. This includes your car, especially since you rely on your vehicle to get you to work, school or to drive your children around town. When you don't maintain your vehicle with a regular tune-up, you can run into serious problems that could cost thousands to repair.
The clutch cable of a car generally deteriorates over time, so if you drive regularly it can be difficult to notice. If it breaks, you will not be able to shift gears and will find yourself in a very uncomfortable situation. One way to spot this in time is to see if the clutch goes down too smoothly or without any resistance. You will start having problems in transmissions as well. So look out for this sneaky little problem.
Vehicles are part of our every day lives; they take us to work, school, and home every day. We place a lot of reliance on vehicles, which means we need to take extra care of them so they can do the same for us. Your transmission should be one of your number one priorities when keeping your car or truck up and running. Here are some ways of early detection and fixing your transmission problem:

The major present problem Placido Engine Company is going through is that it started receiving complaints from its customers concerning corroded gearboxes on engines. The problem was significant and serious to the

My primary research focuses on designing mechanical systems/components and investigating mechanical interactions between machine components. The treatments required a truly multidisciplinary research effort span the entire mechanical systems and solid mechanics spectrums of mechanical engineering. The research involved design, development, and experimental verifications of mechanical components and systems, and account for parameters that influence their interactions. My experience and knowledge has led me to expand my research to account for failure of machine components and systems with applications in automotive, aerospace, and oil and gas industries such as automotive brake systems and clutches, aircraft landing gears, and drilling downhole assembly.
High-technology components were tested using more automated test equipment. These tests took longer, but did not require as many hours of direct labor. The test
This paper will discuss the technology of sequential gearboxes. Relatively new technology, the sequential gearbox has been applied mostly in ATV’s, motorcycles, and the automobile racing industry. Recently this technology has begun to reach passenger cars. There are three main points of discussion; the workings of a manual transmission, how a sequential gearbox works and the advantages of them, and the applications of it today. The sequential gearbox is extremely revolutionary and is only used in high-end passenger cars, but maybe one day it will be a luxury the majority of the population will be able to experience.
Technologies involved in machining operations have advanced greatly in the recent decades and machines have experienced significant changes such as the incorporation of numerical control. Every year it is possible to observe in fairs, conferences and of course in the market economy, how production capabilities have increased thanks to the development of new concepts, devices, materials, tools, coatings, structures, etc. Accuracy, flexibility and productivity are enhanced constantly with innovative solutions to achieve market demands or even raise them to higher levels. In the end, all these improvements are possible thanks to the generation of knowledge.
