UNIVERSAL JOINT ANALYSIS
TITLE: UNIVERSAL JOINT ANALYSIS
OBJECTIVE: To perform an analysis on universal joint.
- At first materials selected from the library of ansys workbench.
- Structural steel
- Stainless steel
- Titanium alloy
Then I look for the geometry in space claim.
- After this I apply joints to the model.
- Then I look for the mesh.
- Then I apply boundary conditions and analysis setting.
- I use a revolute joint .
- Then I request for the results.
CASE 1 : STRUCTURAL STEEL
CASE 2: STAINLESS STEEL
CASE 3: TITANIUM ALLOY
RESULTS: TOTAL DEFORMATION EQUIVALENT STRESS
CASE 1 38.637 mm 1493.9 MPa
CASE 2 38.637 mm 1445.2 MPa
CASE 3 38.637mm 731.52 MPa
CONCLUSION: Total deformation is equal for all the 3 materials but stress is higher for structural steel.
