titleSpecial Loading Information

  • Took the resultant of the Y and Z forces

  • Converted Mx into a force on the Y-Z plane

  • Combined the full Mx force and the full Ryz into a single vector (for each of the three pin holes)

    • The hub will only be in contact with two pins at a time and determined which two pins would be in contact by which of the three forces would be resisted by the least material in each case

    • To view calculations for vectors: see Katherine’s notes

Mesh Refinement

Element size 0.95 mm; min 0.855 mm

Results

All mesh are at 2mm node size for the following results.

Case #2: Accel + Right Turn

Max: 2.017e+08

Safety Factor: 2.330

Case #3: Accel + Left Turn

Max: 7.694e+07

Safety Factor: 1.661

Case #4: Brake + Right Turn

Max: 1.306e+08

Safety Factor: 3.599

Case #5: Brake

&

+ Left Turn

Max: 9.647e+07

Safety Factor: 1.324

Recommendations

The hub is passing in all cases, with a safety factor of above 1.324. To improve the simulation, add threads onto the corresponding threaded part of the hub, especially for the positive X forces?
