Shafts Subjected to Axial Load in addition to Combined Torsion and Bending Loads:
When the shaft is subjected
ubjected to an axial load (F) in addition to torsion and bending loads as in
propeller shafts of ships and shafts for driving worm gears, then the stress due to axial load
must be added to the bending stress (฀b).
( We know that bending equation is

In case of a hollow

In case of long shafts (slender shafts) subjected to compressive loads, a factor known as
column factor (α) must be introduced to take the column effect into account.
Therefore, Stress due to the compressive load,

The value of column factor (α) for compressive loads* may be obtained from the following
relation :
Column factor,
This expression is used when the slenderness ratio (L / K) is less than 115. When the
slenderness ratio (L / K) is more than 115, then the value of column factor may be obtained
from the following relation:
Column factor, α
Where L = Length of shaft between the bearings,

K = Least radius of gyration,
σy = Compressive yield point stress of shaft material, and
C = Coefficient in Euler's formula depending upon the end conditions.
The following are the different values of C depending upon the end conditions.
C =1, for hinged ends,
= 2.25, for fixed ends,
= 1.6, for ends that are partly restrained as in bearings.
In general, for a hollow shaft subjected to fluctuating torsional and bending load, along with
an axial load, the equations for equivalent twisting moment (Te) and equivalent bending
moment (Me) may be written as
It may be noted that for a solid shaft, k = 0 and d0 = d. When the shaft carries no axial load,
then F = 0 and when the shaft carries axial tensile load, then α = 1.

Problem:
A hollow shaft is subjected to a maximum torque of 1.5 kN-m and a maximum bending
moment of 3 kN-m. It is subjected, at the same time, to an axial load of 10 kN. Assume that
the load is applied gradually and the ratio of the inner diameter to the outer diameter is 0.5. If
the outer diameter of the
he shaft is 80 mm, find the shear stress inducedd in the shaft.
m = 1.5 × 103 N-m ; M = 3 kN-m = 3 × 103 N-m ;
Solution. Given: T = 1.5 kN-m
F = 10 kN = 10 × 103 N ; k = di / do = 0.5 ; do = 80 mm = 0.08 m
Let τ = Shear stress induced in the shaft.
Since the loadd is applied gradually, therefore
theref from DDB, we find that Km =1.5 ; and Kt = 1.0

Design of Shafts on the basis of Rigidity
Sometimes the shafts are to be designed on the basis of rigidity. We shall consider the
following two types of rigidity.
1. Torsional rigidity. The torsional rigidity is important in the case of camshaft of an I.C.
engine where the timing of the valves would be affected. The permissible amount of twist
should not exceed 0.25° per metre length of such shafts. For line shafts or transmission
shafts, deflections 2.5 to 3 degree per metre length may be used as limiting value. The widely
used deflection for the shafts is limited to 1 degree in a length equal to twenty times the
diameter of the shaft. The torsional deflection may be obtained by using the torsion equation,
where θ = Torsional deflection or angle of twist in radians,

T = Twisting moment or torque on the shaft,
J = Polar moment of inertia of the cross-sectional area about the axis of rotation,
G = Modulus of rigidity for the shaft material, and
L = Length of the shaft.
2. Lateral rigidity. It is important in case of transmission shafting and shafts running at high
speed, where small lateral deflection would cause huge out-of-balance forces. The lateral
rigidity is also important for maintaining proper bearing clearances and for correct gear teeth
alignment. If the shaft is of uniform cross-section, then the lateral deflection of a shaft may be
obtained by using the deflection formulae as in Strength of Materials. But when the shaft is of
variable cross-section, then the lateral deflection may be determined from the fundamental
equation for the elastic curve of a beam, i.e.

The standard sizes of transmission shafts are:
25 mm to 60 mm with 5 mm steps; 60 mm to 110 mm with 10 mm steps ; 110 mm to 140
mm with 15 mm steps ; and 140 mm to 500 mm with 20 mm steps. The standard length of the
shafts are 5 m, 6 m and 7 m.
