CShaft
Application Program for Calculation of Cylindrical Shafts
CShaft calculates cylindrical shafts
- with two (static cases) or more supports (hyperstatic cases).
- dimensioning problem
- reaction forces in the supports
- bending moment line
- torsional moment line
- static and dynamic stresses
- lateral deflections and twist angle
The static - and dynamic strength of shafts is determined according the method developed in the text book
Niemann-Winter-Höhn Maschinenelemente Band 1 4. Auflage 2005. The safety factors on yield and failure are to determine
for static stress, the safety factors on failure for dynamic stress. This is to do for tensile -, bending -
and torsional stress separately. The comparison safety factor is finally to determine with a mixte fail criterion for
ductile and brittle materials. The ductility proportion is determined by the ductile factor q.
User Interface
CShaft is a multi-lingual application for Windows. The user can set
the language of the user interface and output to:
The user interface is build with standard Windows components and is very intuitive to use.
Identification of a Calculation Project
On the start of a new calculation project, a dialog is being opened for input of some identification data such as: order, project, subproject,
item, shaft ID, calculated by, organization, calculation date and a short note about the project.
Input of shaft configuration and location of the supports is done with a dialog box as shown on next page.
Go to the next web page for the shaft configuration.
