Contact Stress Analysis and Optimization Design of Ball Cage Patterned Constant Speed Universal Joint

Abstract:

This paper takes ball cage patterned constant speed universal joint of as the research object. Using the 3 d modeling software solidworks to establish solid model and simplified it . Based on ANSYS, do finite element contact stress analysis by the universal joint of the two kinds of condition. find out the weak part,through the improvement of raceway design parameters, Relieve the stress concentration phenomenon, reduces the maximum stress, increases the service life of universal joint.
