Sistema especialista em Python para apoio ao projeto de engrenagens cilíndricas retas segundo a norma AGMA

Abstract

Gears are fundamental elements in the transmission of mechanical power, widely used in the industrial environment due to their high efficiency and durability. However, they are subject to failure modes, such as fracture, wear and deformation, and it is the designer's responsibility to ensure the safety and reliability of the component. In the context of Industry 4.0, the growing integration between physical and digital systems stands out, enabling the collection, processing and interpretation of data through intelligent computational platforms. In line with this scenario, this work proposes the development of a computational tool, implemented in Python language, capable of automating bending stress calculations in straight-toothed cylindrical gears, based on the ANSI/AGMA 2001-D4 standard. The tool adopts an Expert System approach, allowing interaction with the user and providing technical recommendations based on the data entered. In this way, the system not only performs normative calculations, but also contributes to decision support in gear sizing and analysis, promoting greater efficiency and reliability in the design process.
