Cook, T A

SHAFT is an interactive program to calculate shaft diameter, at one or more critical points on a steel shaft, required for proper operation in accordance with user-specified design criteria. The user also selects one of four different failure criteria for use by the program: Soderberg, Modified Goodman, Gerber parabolic, or Quadratic. As a first step, SHAFT calculates the bearing loads using the design approach given in Shigley and Mitchell's Mechanical Engineering Design. For systems without a graphics capability, SHAFT gives the user hard copy printout options for the final input and again for the computed final design parameters. An optional display (available for systems with a graphics package) shows the diagrams for moment, torque, and axial force along the length of the shaft. By observing these diagrams, the user can choose the points on the shaft for which the diameter is critical.
