Finite Element Method (FEM) The portal axle is a gearbox that is specially designed for off-road The Finite Element Method (FEM) (its practical application driving conditions. It is installed between the wheel and the axle often known as Finite Element Analysis (FEA)) is a numerical shaft to give higher ground clearance to the vehicle. However, gear technique for finding approximate solutions to Partial Differential train design in portal axle is difficult to study comprehensively Equations (PDE) and their systems, as well as (less often) integral due to their relatively low cost and short product life cycle. In this equations. In simple terms, FEM is a method for dividing up a study, structural analysis of portal axle is simulated using Finite very complicated problem into small elements that can be solved Element Method (FEM). FEM static stress analysis is simulated on in relation to each other. FEM is a special case of the more general three different gear trains to study the gear teeth bending stress and Galerkin method with polynomial approximation functions. The contact stress behaviour of the gear trains. The single and double solution approach is based on eliminating the spatial derivatives pair gear teeth contact are also considered. Dynamic analysis is from the PDE. This approximates the PDE with carried out on above cases like modal & Harmonic.

Introduction This Annex describes the certification provisions regarding the torque losses of propulsion axles for heavy duty vehicles. Alternatively to the certification of axles the calculation procedure for the standard torque loss as defined in Appendix 3 to this Annex can be applied for the purpose of the determination of vehicle specific CO2 emissions. 2. Definitions For the purposes of this Annex the following definitions shall apply: (1) “Single reduction axle (SR)” means a driven axle with only one gear reduction, typically a bevel gear set with or without hypoid offset. (2) “Single portal axle (SP)” means an axle, that has typically a vertical offset between the rotating axis of the crown gear and the rotating axis of the wheel due to the demand of a higher ground clearance or a lowered floor to allow a low floor concept for inner city buses.

INTRODUCTION So, module = m Diameter, D = T*m Portal axles (or portal gear) are an off-road technology where Velocity, v = πDN / 60 = 5275.2m the axle tube is above the center of the wheel hub and where Also W = (σ × C ) b.π.m.y …. (1) there is a reduction gearbox in the hub. This gives two t o v Tangential Tooth load advantages: ground clearance is increased, particularly =Wt = P/v … (2) beneath the low-slung differential housing of the main axles; = 55*1000/5275.2m = 10.43/m and secondly the hub gearing allows the axle half shafts to Where allowable stress = drive the same power but at reduced torque (by using higher σ = S / 3 = 150 MPa .. For Steel, S = 450 MPa shaft speed). This reduces load on the axle crown wheel and ut ut Velocity factor = differential.
