In
transmitting kinetic energy from the turbine to the generator, the coupling
will experience stress and deformation, especially on the bolts that support
the coupling. Therefore, it is important to analyze how the operational load of
the turbine affects the strength of its bolt structure. The author has
conducted a literature study and numerical simulation to analyze the problem.
In the simulation that has been done, it was found that the maximum von misses
stress and strain values received by the bolt were 196.34 MPa and 0.0009687
mm/mm at maximum loading. The relationship between operational load and von
misses stress value is that if the operational load is higher, the von misses
stress received by the bolt will also be higher. Furthermore, there is also a
relationship between operational load and von misses strain value, namely that
if the operational load is higher, the von misses strain received by the bolt
will also be higher. DBy using AISI Type S5 Tool Steel – Oil Quenched to 55
HRC, a relationship was obtained between operational load and safety factor
value. The relationship between operational load and safety factor value is
that if the operational load is higher, the safety factor value will be lower.
From the simulation that the author has done, it is found that there is a
difference in safety factor if the material used in the bolt is changed. It was
found that AISI Type S5 Tool steel - Oil Quenched to 55 HRC has a higher safety
factor value of 8.8111.Meanwhile, the AISI Type S5 Tool Steel material,
Austenitized 855 – 870°C (1575 – 1600°F), Oil Quenched to 45 HRC has a lower
safety factor value, namely 5.7552.
