Week 8 - Universal Joint

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

Procedure:

The analysis we are doing is a transient analysis and since we have to do it on three different materials

(Structural Steel)

(Stainless Steel)

(Titanium alloy)

Before we can begin analysis we need to create a model with the given dimensions but since the model is already given it is imported using the import option in the geometry and the model is checked for any imperfections

Once the model is updated, joints have been provided

Meshing is done on the component

After the meshing is done the model is set for boundary conditions

Results

1:Total deformation

2:Equivalent Elastic strain

3: Equivalent Stress

Results for the 3 material given

Conclusion:

On comparing the results Total deformation is same for all the materials and equivalent strain is also similar in all the materials where Stress is higher when compared to other two materials
