Week 8 - Universal Joint

OBJECTIVE:To perform a transient structural analysis on a double universal joint with three diffrent materials.

METHODOLOGY:

• First assaign the given material to the component.
• 
• define the joints and apply the mesh
• 
• 
• perform the analysis in 5 steps and fix the one end of the spring
• 
• give the joint load in the form of tabular data and run the simulation.

CASE 1:structural steel

CASE 2:stainless steel

CASE 3:titanium alloy

CONCLUSION :from the above figures we can conclude that titanium alloy shows the better results as it can withstand more stress comparatively than other two materials and show less deformation.
