is it Pure Shear?
is it Pure Shear?
(OP)
Im hoping someone can help me with a design im currently working on.
I am designing a shaft to take 200 Tons (400Kips) now the dilemna is that do i consider the shaft to be in pure shear or do i treat it as simply supported or maybe fixed-fixed end condition?
my initial calcs considered bending but i do kind of beleive that it might be a pure shear situation... check out the attachment and let me know what you think.
Thx

Thx for the input guys

It is fairly typical of heavy duty tackle to extend the width of the part you call "block" out to the side plates, like this green one -

One result is to make the bending loads low

Also a couple of casual observations -
The shaft looks a lot heftier than the combined areas of the two pins holding the 200 kip loads. And I'm sure you did, but maybe check the shear areas on the end plates as well.
