Gears being the vitalcomponents of any automobiles, power generation systems and in heavy machineryindustries, need to have good fatigue properties such as fatigue life,endurance limit and fatigue strength for better life and performance of theequipment or machinery. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to simulatefully reversed loading conditions in the fatigue life prediction on generalgear materials, SAE materials like ALSI4027, SAE1045-450-QT, SAED 5506 and SAE5160-825-QT. The finite element method (FEM) has beenperformed on the gear models to observe the distribution of stress and damage.A comparison was made on the fatigue life and the results were analyzed. Finally,conclusions were given. KW - Fatigue life KW - constant amplitude proportional loading KW - Spur gear KW - FEM CR - [1] J.P. Karthik, T.R. Sai, S.S.
