Contact and Transient Analysis of Cam and Follower Mechanism

The objective of this project is to model the design and analysis of a cam and follower. The model is created by the basic needs of an engine with the available background, such as rotation acting over the cam using valve running. Here the approach becomes fully CAE based, CAE based process enriches the Research and limits the time duration. Most of the IC engines used in the market have roller cam and follower mechanisms, having a line contact between the cam and the roller follower. The software CATIA and ANSYS tool has mainly been developed to enhance learning. Still, can readily use it to design and analyze cam and follower mechanisms for industrial applications. The model will be constructed using CATIAV5 r21 software, which is a powerful modeling and simulating the environment of dynamic systems. Contact and Transient structural analysis will be done in Ansys14.5on the valve gear mechanism for existing material and composite material. The Transient Structural analysis generates detailed information about the stress, strain, displacement, velocity, etc., of the valve gear mechanism. The contact generates detailed information about contact status, gap, pressure, and penetration of the mechanism. It also provides animation of the cam and follower mechanism V. Saran Tej | R.
