The purpose of this work is to analyze structural behaviour of differential hypoid gear. For the studying of the structural analysis of the gear is made up of the different composite materials & as well as alloy materials compared with conventional metallic materials. As, composite materials provide enough strength and emerged as a good alternative for replacing metallic gears which is Ni-Cr steel. The alloy materials considered here is Aluminium alloy, Grey cast iron, and the composite material is Epoxy E-Glass unidirectional and compare with existing gear material Ni-Cr steel. This work makes an attempt to replace the metallic gears of Ni-Cr steel with alloy & composite materials based on static structural analysis results. For the analysis purpose the solid model is created by using CATIAV5R20 design software and ANSYS 17.1 is used to determine the Total deformation, Von-Mises stress and the equivalent elastic strain for the different selected materials at three different speeds.
