Design of Shafts
1
Shafts
1. Rotating machine element
4. keys or splines.
Types:
2. An axle, though similar in shape to the shaft, is a stationary machine element and
3. A spindle is a short shaft that imparts motion either to a cutting tool (e.g. drill press
drawing or turning and grinding. The cold rolled shafts are stronger than hot rolled
2. The residual stresses may cause distortion of the shaft when it is machined,
3.Shafts of larger diameter are usually forged and turned to size in a lathe.

Types of Shafts
1. Transmission shafts.
Pulleys, gears etc., therefore they are subjected to
bending in addition to twisting.
2. Machine shafts.
These shafts form an integral part of the machine
itself. The crank shaft is an example of machine shaft.

Stresses in Shafts
The following stresses are induced in the shafts :
Shear Stress
(a) 56 MPa for shafts without allowance for key ways.
(b) 42 MPa for shafts with allowance for keyways.

Design of Shafts
The shafts may be designed on the basis of
1. Strength

1. Shafts Subjected to Twisting Moment

2. Shafts Subjected to Bending Moment

Shafts Subjected to Combined Twisting
Moment and Bending Moment
When the shaft is subjected to combined twisting moment and bending
moment, then the shaft must be designed on the basis of the two moments
simultaneously. Various theories have been suggested to account for the
elastic failure of the materials when they are subjected to various types of
combined stresses.
1. Maximum shear stress theory
2. Maximum normal stress theory

Design of Shafts on the basis of Rigidity
1. Torsional rigidity.
2. Lateral rigidity.
1. Torsional rigidity.
