Recent investigations on structural performance improvement of Universal Joint: A review
Keywords:
universal joint, structural performance, finite element analysis, stress-strain behavior, weight optimizationAbstract
A universal joint is a positive, mechanical connection between rotating shafts, which are usually not parallel, but intersecting. They are used to transmit motion, power, or both. The simplest and most common type is called the Cardan joint or Hooke joint. In this review article, some recent investigations on structural performance improvement of universal joint are thoroughly discussed. After studying various research articles of different authors we have found out these parameters and factors which can be further optimized for improving the structural strength of universal joint. Material of construction, optimization methods, stress concentration, geometrical dimensions and mechanical construction, finite element analysis meshing methods, weight reduction and life cycle were found out to be the major factors that influences the performances of universal joint.
