In: Mechanical Engineering
Consider a shaft connected to motor at any location. Take its appropriate snaps. Assume that the shaft is failed and it has to be replaced. Measure all the required dimensions and variables required. Design and analyze a shaft considering
Static and Fatigue failure criteria, Factor of Safety, Manufacturing processes, Material properties
Static Failure Criteria
Fatigue Failure Criteria
Critical Speed
Factor of Safety
Factor of safety for shaft is simply given and calculated by, N = Yield Stress/Design Stress
Factor of safety must be considered before calculating Design stress. It depends upon
Manufacturing Process and Material Properties
Shafts usually undergo:
Hence, material should be able to handle above stresses.
Most preferred material for shafts is steel and steel alloys.
Most preferred manufacturing process for shafts is forging, preferred cold forging.
