    Design Shaft
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a design task involving a shaft subjected to torsion, bending, and fatigue. The user has created a free body diagram and calculated reaction forces at bearings, deducing a torque force of 1.1 kN and reaction forces of 5.877 kN at bearing B and 6.023 kN at bearing A. They have also drawn shear force, bending moment, and torque diagrams but are uncertain about calculating the shaft diameter using equivalent bending moments and torque values. Key questions include whether the maximum bending moment (Mmax) is derived from the highest value on the bending moment diagram and which torque force to use. The user seeks clarification on these calculations to proceed with the design task effectively.

I have attached the design task I have been given and I am unsure as to what to do next! I will explain that which I have done so far and if anyone can point me in the appropriate direction that would be greatly appreciated!
1. I have created a Free body diagram (FBD), and drawn in the unknown two reaction forces at bearings and the torques where known.
2. For the unknown torque force 'F' I have assumed there is no net torque for the system, and stating my positive Z direction and using T=(f2-f1)xr, have deduced that F=1.1KN
3.I have then gone back to my FBD and drawn in the newly calculated force, and by considering moments throught the first bearing support A and deduced the reaction force at B is 5.877KN. Using the sum of Y forces = 0, I could then calculate for at A=6.023KN.
4. I then drew my shear force diagram, followed by my bending moment and torque diagrams!

Now I am stuck!
I am lead to believe that I must use the relevant equivalent bending moment and torque diagrams, and tau, sigma and twist rate values calulate a suitable diameter for the shaft.
Where:
Me= 0.5[ Mmax +[Mmax^2+T^2]^0.5 ]
Te=[Mmax^2+T^2]^0.5
Is my Mmax value simply deduced from my highest value on my BM diagram, and what T force do use?
I'm not sure if these questions are rather elementary, apologies if that is the case!
Many thanks
Dan

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'
I was enrolled in an online plumbing course at Stratford University. My plumbing textbook lists four types of residential toilets: 1# upflush toilets 2# pressure assisted toilets 3# gravity-fed, rim jet toilets and 4# gravity-fed, siphon-jet toilets. I know my toilet is not an upflush toilet because my toilet is not below the sewage line, and my toilet does not have a grinder and a pump next to it to propel waste upwards. I am about 99% sure that my toilet is not a pressure assisted...
After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...
