Shaft Stress & Deflection Analysis

IndicativeCatalog: indicative

Closed-form or FEM estimates without a specific design code claim. Applies recommended default units when you change standard; unit dropdowns stay fully editable.

Shaft geometry

Material

Load cases along the shaft

Each entry is a station at a distance from the left end. Enter the torsion, bending, and/or axial load acting at that station. Leave a magnitude at zero if that load type does not apply there, then click Add load case. You can add multiple stations (e.g. gear torque at mid-span and a bearing reaction near an end).

New load case at one station

  • Station 1 @ 0.5 m
    T = 100 N·m · M = 200 N·m

Stress concentration

Kt multiplies peak von Mises stress for fillets, keyways, or shoulder steps (1.0 = none).

Mesh refinement

More elements along the shaft length give smoother stress and deflection curves in the FEA mesh.

Element count

Slider up to 500 elements; type a higher value in the box if you need a finer mesh.
