Abstract

 Knuckle joint is used to provide movement between rods while transferring force along the pin axis. It has a range of applications such as in robotics, reciprocating engine valve, fulcrum, and suspension bridge. Various cases have been reported of failures in a Knuckle joint due to poor design and strenuous loading condition. For a guaranteed safety of the structure, analysis and optimization of a knuckle joint are required. A cheaper and qualitative production of the knuckle joint can be achieved in a short period through optimization. In this paper, Finite Element Method (FEM) using ANSYS workbench was used to carry out topology optimization, and transient analysis of a knuckle joint where its dynamic response is observed and its weight is reduced through optimization under certain design loading conditions. Weight reduction of 20%, 35%, and 50% using a structural steel material under a static loading of 1000N. The optimization process successfully identifies the mass that needs to be removed to minimize both weight and cost without compromising its reliability and durability. The structural design was carried out using SolidWorks software and then imported into the ANSYS workbench for analysis. By the results obtained, it is proved that ANSYS software can be employed by production companies to minimize material wastages and maximize profits while at the same time maintaining product quality and reliability

Abstract

The rapid development of the automobile and aircraft industries has made applying gear technology necessary. Gears offer the benefits of efficiency, reliability, simplicity and a higher speed ratio with power transmission. However, they cannot transmit power over a long period, are more expensive when compared to belts and chain drives and requires continuous lubrication. They are used for transmitting high load in gear tools. The gear teeth fail when subjected to a high load beyond a certain limit. A deciding factor in gear design is the amount of stress developed on the contact surface of the mating gears. This paper deals with contact stress analysis of spur gear. The theoretical analysis presented in this paper aims to analyse rolling bearing contacts based on the principles of the Hertz and Lewis equations. A 3D domain-based finite element method was used to calculate the stresses between the contact surfaces of the structure. Contact analysis was performed using ANSYS Workbench software to figure out the deformation and optimum stress developed on the teeth of the gear. The simulation results indicated that the stress distribution on the gear contact surface has a maximum value of 144.82 MPa, while the deformation is at a maximum value of 0.01676 mm. The safety factor indicates the maximum level of 15, indicating the safety of the design.
