Numerical investigation of Powder Metallurgy manufactured gear wheels subjected to fatigue loading
A 2D numerical study of the damage accumulation at the root of a Powder Metallurgy (PM) manufactured gear wheel subjected to frequent overloads, i.e. low cycle fatigue loading, has been performed. The initial porosity distribution of the gear was obtained from a 3D simulation of double action compaction of the gear. The porosity distributions over the centre plane and at the surface were transferr
