It's a wheel axle attached to a frame. The sketches for clarity do not show the full width of the frame, etc.. If the pretension replaces the moment with just axial stresses (in addition to the shear stress from the weight), it allows the wheel to handle more weight than if the moment is still...
Hi CoryPad. Thanks for the reply and for the information. Attached are more detailed calculations, assuming a pretension equal to twice F.x to replace/balance the moment. Right now I'm using distances of between 2/3 and 3/4 of the actual lengths for the effective distances of the axle shoulder...
Hi. I am reviewing the stresses on a cantilevered axle with threaded shaft as shown in the first attachment, including comparing to formulas used for bolts. Not including pretension there is a bending moment in the axle due to horizontal forces keeping the axle in position. Is the bending...
