    Stress analysis on shaft -- deformation error

    EDIT: I just noticed the window. It popped up underneath something. Here it is. The study terminates when I click okay.

    Stress analysis on shaft -- deformation error

    Hi all, I'm designing a shaft for a turbine and I need to know the stresses it will feel as the rotor assembly rests and accelerates on it. As shown here, it's supported by two bearings on each end and the hub in the center will connect to rotor blades that will turn as air moves through a...

    Using Mechanica Lite to analyze stress in a rotating shaft

    I'm having trouble running a Mechanica test on a shaft. The version of Pro/E I have only has Mechanica Lite. Here's a picture of the shaft. It's supported at the bearings shown and the rotor in the middle rotates. I want to study the stress in the shaft under the weight of itself and the rotor...

    How thin can this hollow shaft be and still be structurally sound?

    I'm designing a shaft for a turbine and I want to hollow it to save on material, but I'm not sure how hollow I can make it. There will be stress concentrations at some grooves for snap rings along the shaft. It's modeled in Pro/E, but I am having lots of trouble with the Mechanica application...
