The finite element analysis on the turnover mechanism of the four axial filament winding machine

Based on the analysis of the working principle of the four axial filament winding machine, the 3D solid modeling of the machine was founded by the software Pro/E. The stress exerted on the turnover mechanism is constantly changing due to the tension of winding fiber is constantly changing in the filament winding process. This causes the risk of exceeding the limit of the material properties. Therefore the finite element analysis on the turnover mechanism was done by the software ANSYS to verify its rationality and to ensure that the turnover mechanism can meet the operational requirements. And it can also provide theoretical basis for optimal design of the machine.
