Abstract

A Turn-Buckle is a device for adjusting tension as well as length of ropes, cables, tie rods and other
tensioning system. It consists of two threaded ends, one with a left hand thread and other one is right hand thread. The end
connections are required to fulfill the working in various applications. This project comprises of studies of adequate
design calculation for stresses acting on threaded rod and at end connections. We have taken different size of rod
dimension along with step loads of ends like eye end, hook end and jaw end. Different ends are subjected to tensile
loading utilized in different applications and hence stresses are generated. Now for safe design of whole assembly stresses
are analyzed and compared with standard selected materials. Here, the attempt is done to select better material in context
with stress generation and material costing. For proper selection of material number of loads are taken with minimum
incremental steps in selected range. A Matlab programming is done to solve such kind of design having number of
iterations. According to design formulation, solid modeling is done for turnbuckle, end connections and assembled them.
For convince in calculation, we have taken uniform m material for whole the assembly. After solid modeling, assemblies
are analyses in order to find stresses induced. The Ansys results are for supporting the analytical values.
