Dear all,
I am making a study on material replacement in Oldhams coupling. I am replacing the center disk's material from Aluminium Bronze to Hylam.
For this i have to perform a FEA simulation. i have created a model and imported in ansys. My aim is to find the Stress and life of the center disk for both material.
I tried with Rigid Dynamics - used RPM - found Momnt - used moment for Structural and took results. IS this right way or should I go with Explicit Dynamics or with Structural analysis.
Also i am helpless in using boundary conditions, what kind of input and what kind of supports and we to apply supports.
(I have attached the image of my model for reference)
Just fix the output shaft and apply contact on mating surfaces of the central disk with both inout and output shafts. Apply torqu on input shaft from Power=Toque times angular velocity. this will give you worst case stress analysis on the center disk..
