Designing a Hirth Spline

Solidworks + Excel instruction on how to design a Hirth Spline. Background on Hirth Splines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirth_joint The basic idea of a Hirth spline / Hirth Joint is that the whole geometry is defined from a combination of a single reference point and a grinding/cutting geometry. Two Hirth splines with the same basic tooth geometry will match to form a secure joint that can transfer torque and allows for accurate alignment of parts. Hirth splines and joints are often used in turbomachinery to accurately align various shaft parts and transfer torque.

Torsion analysis of box beam using solidworks simulation. A box beam having cross section of 150 by 150 in and length of 1500in will be fixed at one end and a torque of 300 lb-in will be applied at other end. Beam material has young module 7.5psi and Poisson's ratio ratio 0.3 while thickness of shell is 3in. Shear force and angle of twist will be calculated using solidworks simulation static structural analysis.

In this tutorial, we'll learn basic static torque simulation in SOLIDWORKS 2020. First of all, we'll model a solid shaft with a rectangular plate and then we'll do simulation. Here, I have used Axis, Split Line features which will be used when we apply load (torque) on the shaft. Don't forget to add simulation add-in before making static simulation study. The simulation contains the following steps: 1) Define your Study (Static) 2) Assigning your Materials 3) Apply Boundary Conditions (Free Body Diagram) 4) Meshing the Model 5) Run the Analysis (Solve) 6) View the Results After completing the first simulation, I have created two more simulations by changing the position of the applied torque. Remember I have used same: a) Material b) Geometry c) Boundary Conditions d) Torque (100 N.m) e) Mesh Density The only thing I have change in simulation two and three, is the position of applied torque. And here you will see the difference. This difference is not so big but it is there. I have also shown true scale
