Abstract

<div>Cardan shafts are a system widely used for power transmission in the industrial area, especially in the automotive sector. This study carried out computer-aided design and analysis of the involute profiled spline shaft (cardan shaft) and hub assembly. First, gear profile dimensions of the gears of the cardan shaft and the hub were generated parametrically under the EN-5480 standard using the PTC Creo Parametric software. The solid model was then imported into Ansys software to create the mathematical model. Equivalent stress, total deformation, and damage-life analysis were performed by simulating working conditions. By interpreting the results obtained, it was determined whether the system was compatible with the terms of use, and suggestions were made for improvement.</div>
