Effect of Fillet Radius of the Shaft On Von Mises Stress

Circular components called shafts transfer force from one area of a machine to another. The way the components function together is altered when a tip is placed on a shaft. It is frequently used in engineering designs to ensure that the entire structure is strong, distribute stress, and increase wear resistance. It has smooth edges. tension gradients are divided by the shaft split, reducing the likelihood that tension may accumulate in one area and result in an early break. The importance of wear strength is demonstrated by the fact that this part of the design is extremely crucial for applications involving moving or spinning loads. Additionally, fillets facilitate easier load movement, which reduces the likelihood of cracks forming and spreading. In summary, mechanical systems perform better and last longer when fins are incorporated into the shaft design. The paper discusses a heavy shaft with a 5 Nm force on one end. It's set on the other side. A36 steel, AISI hot rolled bar, and stainless steel 316L are the three materials used. Each has a fillet radius of 0.25 mm, 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 1.5 mm, or 3 mm. SolidWorks can be used to create and inspect the shaft component. According to the findings, von Mises produces the most stress at the smallest fillet radius and the least amount at the smallest fillet radius.
