Abstract

Nonlinear analysis of the enclosure of the pulley is described in this paper. Three different materials were used for the enclosure. Polyethylene, aluminium alloy and titanium alloy were used for model of the enclosure. The enclosure was pressed on the pulley and this frictional contact with friction coefficient was used in nonlinear finite element analysis. The maximal von Misses stress of the enclosure was higher than tensile strength of the materials used for the enclosure so three different variants were proposed. The maximal stress level of the three new variants was smaller than the yield point of the materials.
