Static Stress Analysis of Link Plate of Roller Chain using Finite Element Method and Some Design Proposals for Weight Saving

Roller chains have a long history as mechanical elements for transmission. Although they have clear advantages over belts in terms of performance and efficiency, their larger weight has always been a disadvantage. In this paper, the authors propose some methods of weight saving for roller chains. Th...
