Finite Element Static Analysis of Twin Tripod Sliding Universal Joint Used in Small Rolling Mill

Abstract:

In this paper,the model of the trident chamfer, which is the twin tripod sliding universal joint used in small rolling mill, is created by the software Solidworks, and the statics has been analyzed by using the software ANSYS Workbench. The stress contours diagrams and the deformation contours diagrams of the trident chamfer are obtained,so as to arrive its stress distribution and deformation. So the maximum stress concentration parts of the trident chamfer are known by being analyzed. Similarly, The maximum deformation concentration parts are obtained. All above of this provides the theoretical basis for the further study of twin tripod sliding universal joint, especially in the improvement of the structure as well as the heat treatment of the material.
