Study of dynamic properties of composite flexsplines of harmonic drives

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In the present study, as the structural material for toothed flexsplines of harmonic drivers, a composite material based on an epoxy resin matrix reinforced with glass or carbon fibres was used. A preliminary numerical modal analysis of the material and structural solutions for the harmonic driver flexsplines assumed to be applied was conducted. Under the studies performed, geometrical models of flexsplines being manufactured for the HFUC and HFUS type harmonic drivers were developed based on their actual structures and geometrical dimensions. The calculations prepared for the sake of the study by application of the finite element method (FEM) were conducted using the MSC Patran/Nastran and Femap/NX Nastran software.
