week-11 Joint creation and Demonstration

*AIM:-

-To create revolute, cylindrical and translationaljoints between two rigid bodies and two deformable bodies using the LS-DYNA solver.

*Introdution:-

*Joints:-

-A mechanical joints is a session of machine that is used to connect one or more mechanical parts to another. Its may be permenant or temporary.

1) Revolute joint:-

-Revolute joint also called pin joint or hinge joint.

-It is one degree of freedom kinematic pair used frequently in mechanisms and machines.

-The joint constrains motion of two bodies to pure rotation along the common axis.

-The joint does not allow to translation and sliding linear motion.

-Its used as a numerous application such as door hinges, mechanisms and other uni-axial rotation device.

2) Spherical joint:-

-In this type of joint bodies are only movement of the rotational, not translational motion.

-So in this case provide movtion in rotational x,y and z direction only.

-The joint does not allow to translation and sliding linear motion.

3) Cylindrical joint:-

-The cylindrical joint is two DOF kinematic pair used in mechanisms.

-Cylindrical joint provide the single axis sliding function as well as single axis rotation.

4) translational joint:-

-in this case allow to one part to translate along the vector in respect to another part.

-the part is only translate, not rotate.

-So we provide the motion in only one translational direction.
