TORSIONAL ANALYSIS Using Pro/MECHANICA
Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0
Dr Herli Surjanhata The U-Joint shown in the figure below is made of steel A torsion load of 10,000 IN-
LB is uniformly applied over the top portion surface of the U-Joint
Determine the von Mises stresses, and maximum deflection under the given torsion
load and boundary conditions
Check the convergence of your analysis
Step 1:
Using Pro/ENGINEER, create a base feature as shown in the Figure below It is done
by extruding both sides the section shown with 2 inches blind depth
Create two rounds with R = 1 inch on the left and right bottom of the base feature
Trang 2Create co-axial holes of 0.75 inch in diameter on both sides of the part
Add the cylindrical portion of the part as shown below The diameter is 1.50 inches, and use extrude to the next surface option Note that the radius of the round is 0.2 inch
Trang 3Make the following cut on the cylinder Round the bottom of the cut with R = 0.05
inch
Trang 4Edit -> Setup -> Units
Choose Inch Pound Second (IPS) Click on Set button
Select Interpret dimensions
OK -> Close Done
Step 2:
Transfer the model to Integrated Mode of Pro/MECHANICA
From Applications pull-down menu, select Mechanica and the following window
appears Check the units to make sure it is correct
Click Continue button if the system of units is correct and consistent
Trang 5From Model Type menu, select
Structure
OK
Step 3:
Define the material of U-Joint
From Properties pull-downmenu, select
Trang 6Click on Failure Criterion tab
U-Joint is made of steel, and steel is ductile The most suitable failure criteria is distortion energy theory
Select Distortion Energy (von Mises) as failure criterion
Assuming the yield’s stress
of steel 60,000 psi and factor of safety 1.5, we will enter the tensile yield stress 40,000 psi
Click on OK, then Close the Materials dialog box
Step 4:
Create a surface region for applying the torque on some portion of the top part of Joint
U-Insert -> Surface Region
Or click on the toolbar located on the right
Sketch -> Done
Pick FRONT datum plane as sketching plane, and select Top then pick TOP datum plane in the graphics area
Trang 7Pick the necessary additional references, and use rectangle to sketch the following section
Click on
For the surface or surfaces to
be split, Pick the top cylindrical part of the U-Joint as shown
Click on OK -> OK The surface region for applying the torque has been created
Trang 8Step 5:
To simulate the application of a torsion load on a cylindrical shaft in Pro/MECHANICA using the Total Load Applied at Point (TLAP) functionality, a datum point located on the applied surface must be created This will be used for defining the load and since
we will use Total Load at Point (TLAP) and Moment, the location does not matter
Click on Datum Point Tool icon
Trang 9Pick on the surface (region), and locate the point with respect to top surface and right datum plane Note again the location does not matter as long as it is located on the surface where torsion will be applied
Step 6:
Create a cylindrical coordinate system on the top of the U-Joint
Click on
Trang 10Change the Type to Cylindrical Pick three datum planes – FRONT, RIGHT, and
DTM1 Click on Orientation tab to modify the orientation of coordinate system such that the Z-axis is pointing up or down
Click on OK
Step 7:
Apply the boundary conditions or constraints on the left and right holes of U-Joint
Insert -> Displacement Constraints or click on the Constraint
window appears
Trang 11Enter the name of the constraint as
Cartesian coordinate system
OK, then click OK button in the
Constraint window
Note that FIXED constraint should be appeared on these surfaces
Trang 12Step 8:
Apply the load on the surface region previously created - see Figure
Insert -> Force/Moment Load or click on
Enter the name of the load as
“TorsionLoad”
Click the arrow button under the Surfaces
Pick the top surface region previously created for applying the torsion load – see Figure below
Click the arrow button under the Properties
Pick the Cylindrical Coordinate System CSO
Trang 13Click on button
Change the type of Distribution to
Total Load At Point
Click on the arrow button under
Distribution, and pick the datum point

Trang 25Plot the results for the failure index Failure index measure indicates whether a
material has failed due to the applied loads If the failure index value is equal to or more than "1" at any point in the model then the material is considered to have failed at that point
Click the Copy button - in the Result Window, and name it as Fail_index Set the following:

In the Display Result Window, make sure to highlight Fail_index ONLY, and click the OK button
Trang 26The result shown above indicates that there are many areas where the Failure Index
is more that 1.0 These are the areas where material will fail Based on this
information, redesign of the U Joint can be done to bring the failure index to below 1.0 in the entire model
