Week 8 - Universal Joint

Aim

To preform the transient analysis for the given model and present the results .

Software used

Anasys workbench R22

Produrce

• Import the model form the portal and update the materials
• We have three cases with diffrent materials

1. Structral steel
2. Stainless steel
3. Titanium alloy

CASE 1 :

• Model is loaded with structrual steel
• The analysis is a done trasient structural
• We have Universal joint and a gear in the end
• Load is given on the spider of the universal joint on the spring side
• Assiging the joint loads (body to ground )the mobile as the spider end scope as the yoke side .
• The same process is done for the reamaining contacts faces
• Spring side is fixed
• The two yoke components are given as body to body revloute joints
• Joint load is given for 5 steps on the gear side
• The analysis setting is kept as per the image attrached below .

• Connections on the spider to yoke on gear side

• Connections on the spider to yoke on spring side

• FIxed on the spring end face .

• Load steps given for the model .

• Material are assigned for all three causes we can pull and use it for requried case .

Mesh is done for 4mm and mesh is mentioned below

Thus the material alone is only changed for all three conditions and results are taken the results are attrached below for rerences.

Case 1 Structral steel :

Directonal Deformation :

Equivalent Elastic Strain

Equivalent Stress

Case 2 strainless steel :

Directonal Deformation :

Equivalent Elastic Strain

Equivalent Stress

CASE 3 titanium alloy .

Directonal Deformation :

Equivalent Elastic Strain

Equivalent Stress

Result.

Thus the given model is simulated and results are tabulated .
