Abstract
With the increasing demand for high speed and light weight, the requirement of engine power, volume and weight is also improving. In this paper, a three dimensional modeling of an engine’s timing gear cover is made by using Pro/E software, and then the finite element model is established by ANSYS software. Static analysis of the timing gear cover is carried out by using ANSYS. The maximum deformation and equivalent stress are gained. Modal analysis of the timing gear cover is simulated by finite element analysis and the natural frequency and mode vibration are obtained. Based on the analysis results, the feasibility and reliability of the structure are confirmed. The method proposed in the paper effectively shortens the design cycle and reduces the error of repeated test and experience judgment. It is of great significance to popularize the application of the finite element analysis in the enterprise and to the future product development.
