Finite Element Analysis and Optimal Design of Frictional Roller

Article Preview

Abstract:

First a 3D model for frictional roller of endless-rope winch was established with Pro/E software. And then the model was imported into finite element software named ANSYS Workbench, by which, the stress and deformation distribution of frictional roller could be acquired after meshing and loading. Next by making use of the Design Explorer module of ANSYS Workbench software, the paper analyzed the sensitivity of the major structure parameters which influence the roller strength. On the foundation of sensitivity analysis, these parameters were optimized to make the structure of the frictional roller more reasonable and meeting the design requirements.
