Yes the reactions are the same, and the stresses in the smaller portions will be the same. The max stress @ x=L/2 will be double with a point load vs distributed.
Thanks for your time rb. Following your steps, it leads me to believe that reducing w*a to a point load W will not change the stress in the smaller diameter sections, but will double the stress in the roll journal, keeping the max stress (at x=b) the same for my diameters.
I can't find any partial span beams in the tables. I only see total span. I also don't know how to reconcile the different diameters in each section.
As far as the forum, is there a better subforum for these questions? This is basically "homework help" but yes I am trying to validate a...
The arrows are at the centerlines of the bearing. the shaft continues on one side coupled to a drive and on the other it ends near the end of the bearing. What I mean by section 2 is the part of the shaft subjected to the uniformly distributed load W. My end goal is to see how the stress at...
I need to know the general stress equation for a stepped shaft with a uniform load on section 2. The reactions R represent roller bearings, and are located at their centerlines. I don't know which equations from the charts to apply to each section. Thanks.
When you activate a part in an assembly, can you see the features of that part in the model tree?
Right now when I activate, everything else transparents out, and the activated part gets a little green star in the symbol, but I can't select any individual features and the part doesn't expand...
