Misalignment between pinions to wheel gears induces bending stresses continued influences the fatigue life of the spur gear system. Lack of research projected to the issues causes uncertain in their useful lifetime estimation. In this paper, the bending fatigue life of the spur gear in axial misalignments condition was predicted. A three teeth FEM model of spur gear with the same geometrical profiles was constructed according to ISO 6336-1:2006. The gear was subjected with five misalignment from 0.1mm to 0. 5mm at different torque loadings from 50Nm to 300 Nm. Exerted with quasi-static approach; the stress variant was analysed to stress life model as well as the damage accumulation model for fatigue life prediction in ANSYS V19. Results showed that the application of axial misalignment had a small impact significantly reduce the life of the gear, in percentage difference between 0.1 - 2%. This suggested that the bending fatigue life did not reflect to the existence of axial misalignments as the effect is very small that it is possible to be neglected.

<p>Collapse and falling of columnar structures such as road illumination poles installed on a bridge have been confirmed in the past earthquakes. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the seismic resistance of columnar structures from the viewpoint of securing the function as an emergency transportation route in the event of disaster. In this study, the destruction order and destruction form of the road illumination pole in the external force action were analyzed and verified, and the model specimen was produced to carry out the static load test. As a result of the experiment, it was shown that anchor bolts and wall concretes of the base were damaged antecedently.</p>
