: Three dimensional stress analysis of spiral bevel gears in mesh using the finite element method is presented. A finite element model is generated by solving equations that identify tooth surface coordinates. Contact is simulated by the automatic generation of non-penetration constraints. This method is compared to a finite element contact analysis conducted with gap elements. (AN)
