Stress Analysis of Cross Groove Type Constant Velocity Joint

摘要

The driveshaft is the part that transmits the vehicle's engine torque and rotation to the tires, and predicting the stress of each component in the CVJ, a major part within the driveshaft, is important to creating a strong CVJ design. However, because contact between each such component is complex, a formula for effectively calculating such stress has not been established. This paper introduces a stress analysis model that, with the aim of developing an effective design tool, we constructed utilizing the finite element method and taking contact between components into consideration. Validation results are also presented.
