Theoretical and Experimental Model for the Analysis of a Cardan Cross

The work presents the aproach of initial moddeling and calculus in order to prepare an finite element investigation of the cardan transmission joint. For this, it is necessary to develop a flexible informational system that would connect the constructive design of cardan transmissions to the technological design within a unitary structure. Due to the typodimensional diversity of cardan transmissions, the design and manufacturing of the various components for a certain application domain (medical aparature, dental and agricultural machines, lifting and transportation machines etc.) has been typified. In order to study the problems that occur in the practice of using cardan transmissions, the…
