Shaft Design
For static load (loading factor K=1) the shaft can be designed by using Bending stress and
shear stress.
1) Calculating Overall bending stress:

Overall bending moment:
To find the minimum diameter, of the shaft using the Von Mises formula we need to use
the overall bending moment, M
Let y be direction of force:
2) Calculating Shear stress:

For correct design we require:
