Finite Element Analysis of Hydro-Viscous Drive Main Transmission Shaft Using ANSYS

The main drive shaft is one of the key component of the Hydro-Viscous Drive device. The advantage or not of the mechanics performance as the shaft running became the focus of technology design since the complexity of structural design caused by complex function and the strain displacement caused by alternating stress in the condition of low-speed and heavy-duty. The mechanics analysis has been accomplished by the traditional way of mechanics and been proved by the ANSYS, as well as the orderliness of the stress and stain been obtained on the condition of bearing conditions in this paper. The result of the finite element analysis has offered the design reference for the shaft optimizing and pointed out that there was the biggest stress and strain value near the oil hole phi 22 in the direction of radical.
