DOMINGUEZ GURRIA, Miguel Alberto et al. Numerical analysis of contact between chain with plastic elements and metal catarine using hyperelastic models. Rev. cienc. tecnol. [online]. 2022, vol.5, n.1, e149.  Epub 14-Ago-2023. ISSN 2594-1925.  https://doi.org/10.37636/recit.v5n1e149.

In this work a numerical analysis of the coupling between a motor sprocket and a chain with plastic elements in the power transmission is presented. The study is carried out through numerical analysis with finite element software. The system considers the rheological models for the characterization of the plastic material of the chain. Based on the present study, the usefulness of the Marlow model for cases of chains with plastic elements was confirmed. The results show the areas of greatest stress concentration due to the contact between elements for the transmission of power and define the variation of the contact force as a function of the rotation of the sprocket.
