“…Pantazopoulos et al 12 found that abnormal functioning of a vehicle's lubrication was a major contributor to this failure. Bayrakceken et al, 13 meanwhile, conducted a fracture analysis on a universal joint yoke and the drive shaft of an automobile's power transmission system. Lu et al 14,15 presented new models of the cross shaft type universal joint with clearance.…”

The universal joint is one of the most critical parts of both the engine and the transmission system of a vehicle. After long-term use, however, some vibration and abnormal noise might occur in it, which may lessen safety while driving. In this article, we investigate faults associated with the double cross universal joint, including looseness, wear, and intermediate shaft torsional deformation. First, we propose a transmission model and a new fault model for this joint. Then, the model parameters of the optimal transmission performance are analyzed. Finally, the main contribution of this article is in discussing the transmission performance as related to looseness, wear, and the intermediate shaft torsional deformation. Our results show that when the angle of the two universal joints is consistent, the phase angle equals 90 and the angular velocity of the output shaft becomes constant, which indicates an optimal transmission performance. When the universal joint is exhibiting looseness, the performance of the angular velocity of the output shaft and the transmission becomes worse as the looseness increases. For both wear and the intermediate shaft torsional deformation, the output angular velocity is also unstable. If looseness occurs at the same time as one of these two faults, the instability will be superimposed and the transmission performance will be even worse. This article provides reference for analysis of faults of the universal joint and its diagnosis; for example, it provides suggestions for when the universal joint should be inspected for repairs or replaced.

“…The necessary prerequisite needed to ensure what was previously said is the use of well-functioning agricultural machines and mechanisms. Agriculture universal joint shaft is a mechanism used in agriculture which has the lowest reliability so it may be a potential danger for agricultural equipment operators (Gligoric & Asonja, 2 design and maintenance, followed by raw-material defects and user-related faults (Bayrakceken et al, 2007;Godec et al, 2009).…”

This paper presents a research into reliability calculations of agriculture double universal joint shafts based on temperature measuring in cardan-type universal joint bearing assemblies. Special laboratory equipment was developed for this research which is presented in the paper. The objective of this research was to test the real life span of universal joint shafts in the laboratory and in field, to obtain the results which can be used to improve the reliability of universal joint shafts. If the presented research were used along with maintenance measures recommended in the paper and with proper use, the level of reliability of the shafts would be 2.1 times higher. The presented results of the research showed that needle bearings, i.e. bearing assemblies of the joints, are the most critical elements on universal joint shafts and are possible causes of their lower reliability. The second universal joint is the part with the lowest reliability in the observed technical system.

“…Bayrakceken, et al [2] have done some research about the fracture analysis of a universal joint yoke and a drive shaft that belong in an automobile power transmission system, and they used finite element method for stress analyses that determine stress conditions at the failed section. SirajMohammadAli Sheikh has done some research about analysis of universal coupling under different torque condition [3] using finite element method as stress analysis to determine the stress at the failed section.…”
