The Finite Element Analysis of Tripod Universal Joint in Car Based on ANSYS Workbench

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the finite element method, the contact analysis on the tripod constant velocity joint widely used in the car was conducted. The settings of material attribute, boundary conditions processing, and the contacting setting of constant velocity joint used in the finite element software ANSYS Workbench were expounded. Through the contacting analysis, the contacting situation of stress was acquired, and it is concluded that the fatigue life and safety factor of the whole universal joint. This article has a certain practical value to study universal joint weak part under the action of fatigue, and provides a reference for the universal joint design and improvement.
