 Find Shaft Deflection with analytical method

There are several methods for finding deflection of stepped shaft. For analytical
calculation, we are taking Successive Integration method on below example (In Figure 1).

We assume that there are no axial forces so that the equilibrium equation in the x
direction is identically satisfied. In Figure 2, a free-body diagram of the shaft is given. By
applying equilibrium condition we got below equation.

By putting all value,

R1 = 2444.44 N
R2 = -444.44 N

In Figure 3(a), the free-body diagram for the section 0 < x < a is given. The moments
must be developed for each cross section. Figure 3(b) and Figure 3(c) show the free-body
diagram for the sections given by a < x < b and b < x < L, respectively.

The equations for equilibrium can be written for each free-body diagram to
determine shear force V (x) and moment M(x) on each section. For brevity, only the results
for M(x) are given here as

Where each Mi(x) equation is valid only for the range given in the accompanying
free-body diagrams. Young’s modulus, E, is taken as 207000MPa.

The moments can be integrated to yield slope and deflection equations. The
integration results are summarized here.

For 0 < x < a,

For a < x < b

For b < x < L

Substituting x = 0 clearly yields EI1*v1(0) = C2. But, v1(0) = 0, so C2 = 0. The other

five conditions can be obtained by applying boundary condition on above equation. This is
written in matrix form as

Where α2 = I2/I1 and α3 = I3/I1.

By solving this matrix, it gives five constant as
C1 = -11634308.6608796
C2 = 0
C3 = -7700776.70431813
C4 = -5471341563.78601
C5 = -20854430.1380887
C6 = -275423104.52675
By putting all value in deflection equation, it gives segment wise deflection. Deflection
graph is plot as

From above graph,

 Find Shaft Deflection with help of KISSsoft.

Make same shaft on KISSsoft and apply same boundary condition and forces to shaft
And take 18CrNiMo7-6 material for calculation because for 18CrNiMo7-6, value of young’s
modulus, E is 206000MPa.

 Conclusion
From above exercise, we conclude that deflection by analytical method and
deflection by KISSsoft is almost same……..
So, that we can take KISSsoft result as final result for shaft deflection in industrial
practice.
