Study of the Cardan Cross Using the Experimental and Analytical Method

The work presents the approach of the finite element investigation of the cardanic transmission joint. We treat the problem of structural behaviour, namely analyses that target the strength-related behaviour. It is thus sought to determine certain parameters (nodal displacements, stresses, strains) in the conditions of applying various types of loads - forces, pressures or moments. For this, we used a finite element analysis software – Cosmos - a product integrated in the SolidWorks package.
