Static study of the most loaded elements of the differential "ELocker" when it is locked

Abstract

Currently, the world has created a large number of programs and software packages that implement the finite element method (FEM). It is the most common method of solving a wide range of scientific and engineering problems. This is due to the simplicity of the concepts of FEM, its inherent logic and efficiency of application. SOLIDWORKS, namely its COSMOS Works Designer module, has been selected as a software package for design and research. The developed and researched model became a rotary plate of a differential with lock "ELocker". The conducted researches allowed to determine the characteristic stress concentrators on the working surface of the rotary plate. According to the results of the calculation, the maximum displacement and deformation equivalent, as well as the minimum strength factor were determined. The temperature regime of loading does not cause fears.
