5.2 SHAFTS UNDER BENDING MOMENT The shafts; which rotate under the action of pure bending moment; are subjected to a uni-axial state of tensile and compressive stress. This also the case of the axles, which transmit bending moment only The design of both of them should be based on the following bending equation: Gear 1 A B Gear 3 C Gear 2 Design- Gearbox-Animation 2

For solid circular shaft: = = d 4 I d = =2 y & 64 M d ( b ) 2 = = b 4 d 64 Therefore, the diameter of solid shafts can be determined from the following equation: 32 M = = b d 3 b 5
For hollow circular shaft: = = d = = o y & 4 o 4 I d ( d ) 2 64 i M ( d 2 ) M d ( b ) 2 = = = = b o b b 4 o d or, 4 o 4 i d ( d ) 4 ( 1 k ) 64 64 Therefore, the diameter of solid shafts can be determined from the following equation: 32 M d = = b d = = 3 k i e . i ., k 1 4 1 ( k ) d b o 6
5.3 SHAFTS SUBJECTED TO COMBINED STATE OF STRESS In most practical cases, the shafts are subjected in general into a combination of bending and twisting moments as well as normal force. The design of these shafts should be based on the simultaneously effect of all the loading elements. The theories of elastic failure must be carefully utilized. According to practical experience, the following two theories are important in the design of these shafts: 1- Maximum shear stress theory of elastic failure (Guest`s theory) 2- Maximum normal stress theory (Rankine`s theory). 7
Maximum Shear Theory According to the maximum shear stress theory of elastic failure, the maximum shear stress in the shaft can be expressed as follows: 1 2 b 2 s = = + + 4 (max) s 2 Where, s b : Shear stress due to twisting moment. : Normal stress due to bending moment. 8
Replacing the normal and shear stresses with their equations, which are functions of the shaft diameter and the loads (i.e. bending and twisting moments), the following relation can be obtained: 2 2 1 32 M 16 T = = + + 4 (max) 3 3 2 d d 16 2 2 = = + + M ( ) ( T ) 3 d 2 2 = = + + T M T e Teis known as the equivalent twisting moment. 9
Therefore, the following equation can be used to evaluate the diameter of the shaft according to the maximum shear stress theory of elastic failure. 2 2 + + 16 M T = = d 3 max 16 T = = d e 3 max 10
In The case of hollow shafts, the external diameter can be determined according to the following equation: 16 T = = e d 3 o 4 1 ( k ) max 11
Maximum normal stress theory According to the maximum normal stress theory of elastic failure, the maximum normal stress in the shaft can be expressed as follows: = = Where, yt : Yield stress of shaft material, N/mm2 1 : Maximum principale stress, N/mm2 yt 1 1 1 2 = = + + + + 2 ( ) (max) yt b b s 2 2 Where, s b : Shear stress due to twisting moment, N/mm2. : Normal stress due to bending moment, N/mm2. 12
Using the same treatment that has been used in the maximum shear stress theory, the following equation can be obtained: 3 2 2 = = + + + + d M ( M T ) yt 32 M 2 1 is defined as the equivalent The term 2 2 + + + + M T bending moment, i.e.: 1 2 2 = = + + + + M M M T e 2 13
32 M = = e d 3 yt In The case of hollow shafts, the external diameter can be determined according to the following equation: 32 M = = e d 3 o 1 ( 4 k ) yt 14
