3. Strength Constraints
Typically static stresses are not significant in shaft design because
fatigue and critical speeds play a more important role in design.
Since shafts rotate, there is a strong likelihood of fatigue issues.

Solve for the diameter, d (note: fortunately both bending and torsion
have stress in terms of d3 )
Using MDE Modified Goodman results in equations 7-7 for n and 7-8
for the diameter, d.
Other fatigue criteria [eqns. 7-9 to 7-14]. We will use MDE Goodman.

5. Shaft Material
All steels have about the same Youngs modulus so rigidity cant be
controlled by material alone (only by geometry)
6. Hollow Shafts
Rev 4/17/04
Since the polar and bending moment of inertia are proportional to the 4th
power of the diameter of a circular shaft and the cross sectional area is
proportional to the 2nd power of the diameter, a hollow shaft can be
designed to carry 90% of the torque capability of a solid shaft with much
less weight
Shaft design requires critical speeds that much higher than the
anticipated operational speeds of the applications [Critical speed at least
2X operating speed]
