Hello,
Anyone care to look at this failed shaft? - I'd like to know if it is fatigue or something else that might cause it to break like this?
I'm a little baffled because I can't see any beach marks or similar looking breaks from any books I have. It is 1045 material 1" diamter. It's load...
I need to estimate the mean life of a cross section that has a very significant stress concentration (approx 10X average stress) The loading in the section cycles from 25 to 100% and I expect it to fail around 100,000 cycles so infinite life does not apply.
What is the correct approach to...
How can the tensile fatigue limit be estimated in a 1.25 inch shaft that has been butt welded assuming it has been properly prepared and welded? I've looked in British Standard 7608 and a couple other machine design books and do not see any examples of that kind of connection in a shaft, only...
I need to design a hub/shaft on a roller that is subjected only to high bending stresses that can lead to fatigue failures of the shaft. Which design is best from a fatigue point of view? - machine a single piece hub and stub shaft with a large radius (actually a compound radius) in the...
