Vibration Analysis of Tripod of the Twin Tripod Sliding Universal Joint Based on ANSYS

Abstract. In this paper, taking the tripod of twin tripod sliding universal joint as three-dimensional solid model, it uses ANSYS to carry on the vibration analysis. We can obtain the first 10 natural frequencies, the stress and displacement frequency curve, the stress and displacement contour of tripod and some valuable conclusions by vibration analysis. So, it offers a theoretical reference for the optimization design and development of the twin tripod sliding universal joint.
