Abstract

This study uses FEA to perform an in-depth mechanical analysis and subsequent geometrical optimization of a typical sprocket with the aim of effectively and significantly improving its performance and durability under service conditions. This was done to consider in detail the critical mechanical parameters, including stress concentrations, total deformation, and the resultant factor of safety when the component is subjected to a series of representative service loads. Further to the initial analysis, the geometry of the sprocket was strategically refined to minimize mass without any deleterious reduction in structural integrity. The resultant optimized design exhibited a marked improvement in both its load-bearing capacity and operational efficiency, thus conclusively establishing the effectiveness of an FEA-driven approach toward mechanical component design and optimization.
