Length of Shaft Formula Elements

Variables
Length of Shaft
Length of Shaft is the distance from the axis of rotation to the point of maximum vibration amplitude in a transversely vibrating shaft.
Symbol: Lshaft
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Static Deflection
Static Deflection is the maximum displacement of an object from its equilibrium position during free transverse vibrations, indicating its flexibility and stiffness.
Symbol: δ
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Young's Modulus
Young's Modulus is a measure of the stiffness of a solid material and is used to calculate the natural frequency of free transverse vibrations.
Symbol: E
Measurement: Stiffness ConstantUnit: N/m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Moment of inertia of shaft
Moment of inertia of shaft is the measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotation, influencing natural frequency of free transverse vibrations.
Symbol: Ishaft
Measurement: Moment of InertiaUnit: kg·m²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Load Attached to Free End of Constraint
Load Attached to Free End of Constraint is the force applied to the free end of a constraint in a system undergoing free transverse vibrations.

How to Evaluate Length of Shaft?

Length of Shaft evaluator uses Length of Shaft = ((Static Deflection*3*Young's Modulus*Moment of inertia of shaft)/(Load Attached to Free End of Constraint))^(1/3) to evaluate the Length of Shaft, Length of Shaft formula is defined as the distance between the points of support in a shaft, which is a critical parameter in determining the natural frequency of free transverse vibrations, and is influenced by factors such as the shaft's modulus of elasticity, moment of inertia, and the weight of the attached load. Length of Shaft is denoted by Lshaft symbol.
