Week 8 - Universal Joint

Objective :

To perform a transient structural analysis on a double universal joint with a spring using three different materials.

Procedure :

• At first import the model from the basis.
• Now stsrt alligning the materials for the component.
• Now mesh the component with the desired mesh size.
• The three materials must be used on the joint with the springs alone.
• Use a refined mesh if possible for the academic license.
• You need to obtain the Equivalent stress and total deformation for all the three cases and compare them.
• Give the provided boundary conditions for the component.
• Solve the model and record the values.

CASE 1 :

• With structural steel as the material solve the model.
• 
• 
• 

CASE 2 :

• With stainless steel as the material solve the model.
• 
• 
• 

CASE 3 :

• With Titanium alloy solve the model.
• 
• 
• 

Conclusion :

The transient structural analysis on a double universal joint with a spring using three different materials: Structural Steel, Stainless Steel and Titanium alloy is performed and the values are compared and recorded.
