Torsion shaft design
Torsion shaft design
(OP)
Hello,
What is the best approach to design a torsion shaft to cope with crankshaft torsional vibration ?
As an exemple, let's consider the Griffon (Rolls Royce)engine with a torsion shaft between the propeller gearbox and the crankshaft. I expect the best would be to have an expended model using all the inertias of all the crank webs, gears and propeller and all the stiffness between these inertias taking also into account the shaft itself that we need to design.
On your opinions, what would be the simplest model to use at the beginning stage of a study which will give already usable calculations ?
Last but not least, what are generally the critical points to take care ?
Can you advise me with some documentations ?
Thank you
