- This paper presents an analysis of the feasibility of using the model similarity method in engineering design. The analysis applies to virtual and physical models of the flexspline body of harmonic gear drive. The task consisted in determining stress distribution in the virtual models of the flexspline by means of the finite element method (FEM) and next its verification during bench tests by the extensometer method. The values of stresses calculated by the FEM method and the extensometer method were compared with each other with the aim ofdefming model similarity. The numerical calculations were made by means of the ADINA application which uses FEM with the use of contact elements. Stress distribution calculations applied to simplified virtual models of the flexspline. By the simplification of models a great number of finite elements used for the discretisation process were limited and because of that the time of calculations was shortened. The simplified model was precise enough to determine the stresses in the flexspline body. The subject of this analysis was the impact of different values of the torque moment T2 on the stresses in the flexspline body of the harmonie drive. The results of numerical calculations were checked against the standing tests of the real drive by applying the extensometer method. During the work of the gear, the values of relative elongation were measured and, based on them, the values of stresses were determined and compared to the results of the numerical calculations by FEM in the analogous cross-sections of the flexspline. The comparability of the results received by both methods proves both that the models used in the numerical calculations were properly designed and that the assumptions as well as the calculation were properly made. The determining of model similarity for the examined harmonie drive will make it possible to carry out analyses of stress calculations by FEM on virtual models without the necessity to verify them by laboratory standing tests each time.
