Contact analysis of involute profile teeth

In this project, the purpose is to provide an in-depth understanding of tooth engagement in splined couplings based on variations in the clearance between mating teeth. It is standard practice to assume that 25-50% of the total spline teeth in a coupling are engaged due to variations from the manufacturer. Based on the assumed number of teeth engaged, the load capability of a splined coupling is determined.variations from tooth geometry from manufactured, the number of teeth actually engaged is dependent on the applied load and tooth errors
