Abstract

Bulk lever is the main component of Dobby power loom. It is the most heavily stressed part of Dobby power loom. During its operation various stresses are acting on Bulk lever. For analysis purpose virtual model of Bulk lever is prepared by picking data from existing model of bulk lever made of ASTM A 48 C.I. This paper investigates the stresses acting on Bulk lever at different loading condition. Static structural analysis using ANSYS was conducted on Bulk lever made up of ASTM A 48 C.I. and suggested material of AISI 4340 Alloy steel. The purpose of this study is to show the performance of Bulk lever under different loading condition. For FEA analysis bulk lever is prepared using ANSYS and this model of Bulk lever in ANSYS where stress analysis is done by FEM. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has been performed on both Notch 1 and Notch 2.
