Abstract

Acouplingisa device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for transmitting power. A Universal couplingis a special type ofcouplingin which misalignment of shafts is allowed. Shafts are free to move in any direction to transmit torque or power from oneshaft to another.It also provides for the connection of shafts of units that is manufactured separately such as a motor and generator and to provide for disconnection for repairs or alternations and to reduce the transmission of shock loads from one shaft to another. In this work, review of different research papers is conducted. In this work, analysis is studied based on fracture of universal coupling, the stresses on universal joint when they are used in power transmission, development of a universal coupling using advanced computer aided engineering software, studying the stress, displacement and strain in a universal coupling.
