Structural and Modal Analysis of Roller Chain

Abstract

The main component in power transmission of motorcycle or industrial conveyers is chain and any defect can lead to ruinous failure of the system. The main objective of the work would be to find the safe load and the sustainability of the different material of the chain using Finite Element Analysis. The FEA is used to determine the foremost effective decision of manufacturing based on the analysis. Finite element modeling provides different insights into the engineering analysis and plays crucial role in understanding the intricacies of the element. A faulty chain set can make your system debilitate or sometimes the situation can become even dangerous. In this paper, static structural analysis and the modal analysis have been done by analyzing two materials for roller chain manufacturing using CAD model of the chain designed in CATIA with some analysis under various conditions in ANSYS.
