FEM Analysis of Universal Joint of TATA 407

Traditional design has been done by simple calculation. But with increase in product performance and reliability it is difficult to follow the traditional iterative design procedures. To satisfy the market needs it is necessary to provide a computational capacity along with the creativity of the human being. A widely used numerical method for solving structural problems in both industry and academia is "FINITE ELEMENT METHOD. For effective and efficient FEM analysis the software should have: 1. Pre processor 2. Solver 3. Post processor Thermal analysis to calculate For finite element Analysis of Propeller Shaft &Universal joint, SOLID92-Tetrahedral element has been used. the heat flux, temperature gradient & temperature variation in the structural and thermal aspects in case of Universal Joints. The h-method can be used for any type of analysis, but the p-method can be used only for linear structural static analyses. For finite element Analysis of Propeller Shaft & Universal joint, SOLID92-Tetrahedral element has been used. Cost effective; Time saving; Easy modification; Accurate; Optimization capacity; the driveline system is the one of the most important component in the dynamic condition of the vehicle.a detailed analysis and significant research effort have been devoted to the investigation of structured analysis of the power transmission.
