Instructional Objectives:
At the end of this lesson, the students should be able to understand:Design method for variable loadEquivalent stress on shaftDesign based on stiffness and torsional rigidityCritical speed of shaft
8.2.1 Design of Shaft for variable load
Design of shaft for strength involves certain changes when it is acted upon byvariable load. It is required to calculate the mean stress and stress amplitude for all the loads, namely, axial, bending and torsion. Thereafter, any of the designmethods for variable load, that is, Soderberg, Goodman or Gerber criteria isutilized. Once again, the familiar design diagram for variable load in terms of thestress amplitude and the mean stress is reproduced below.
