This is one of the SEED curriculum engineering design guides. SEED (Sharing Experience in Engineering Design) is an organisation of teachers of design in tertiary education.
This guide gives information on how to design a shaft when fluctuating loads are to be considered. It gives details on how to: Determine External Loads; Choose Preliminary Dimensions; Identify Critical Shaft Sections; Determine Stresses; Combine Stresses; Choose Failure Criterion; Choose Material and Material Properties; Determine Fatigue and Safety Factors; Compare Stresses and Strength; Specify Shaft. This guide should be used in conjunction with the guide, How to design a Shaft for Strength and Rigidity. There is also a list of suggested further reading.
