Abstract

In this paper, the length of the protrusions and the angles between the rigid protrusions of the spider type
couplings are varied. The couplings are designed using modeling software PRO/ENGINEER WILDFIRE 3 and then it is
imported to analysis software FEMAP NX NASTRAN for static analysis. The spider type coupling is given a constant
torque, is analysed using FEM technique rather than mathematical or experimental method because the mesh is made
sufficiently fine around the areas of geometric discontinuity or stress raiser.
The analysis is performed using FEMAP with NX NASTRAN by constraining all the degrees of freedom in the
driving shaft and then the torque is applied on the driven shaft in order to calculate the resultant stress. The analysis is
carried out. The results are tabulated and graphically shown. Finally, the comparison is done w
ith NASTRAN results and manually calculated results.
