Structural Strength Analysis of High Current Connector for Rail Transit

Abstract

Abstract Aiming at a high current connector for rail transit, using ANSYS Workbench software for simulating the established connector model under the condition of maintaining the original assembly relationship. Analyzing the overall structural strength of the connector, and obtaining the actual stress distribution and deformation of the electrical connector with various contact relations. The error between the simulation results and the theoretical results of the bolt is within 10%. The maximum stress of each component is less than the yield strength of the material, and the plastic deformation don’t occur under the normal working condition. The overall structure of the connector meets the structural strength requirements.
