Design of Shaft

The document discusses the design of shafts and the stresses induced in shafts. Shafts can experience shear stresses from torque transmission, bending stresses from forces acting on connected machine elements or from the shaft's own weight, and stresses from combined torsional and bending loads. Shaft design depends on whether the shaft experiences torque only, bending only, combined torque and bending, or additional axial loads, and involves the design of solid or hollow shafts.

Design of shaft

Stresses in Shafts
The following stresses are induced in the shafts :
1. Shear stresses due to the transmission of
torque (i.e. due to torsional load).
2. Bending stresses (tensile or compressive) due
to the forces acting upon machine elements
like gears, pulleys etc. as well as due to the
weight of the shaft itself.
3. Stresses due to combined torsional and
bending loads.
Design of Shafts
(a) Shafts subjected to twisting moment or
torque only,
(b) Shafts subjected to bending moment
only,
(c) Shafts subjected to combined twisting
and bending moments, and
(d) Shafts subjected to axial loads in
addition to combined torsional and bending
loads.
