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...
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...
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...
