Title
Finite element analysis of stepped splined shafts under different loading conditions with varying pitch, step fillet radius and tooth fillet radius
Spline shafts are used in mechanical drive systems where there is a need for high torques transfer applications. The drive systems usually consist of a number of ther torque transmitting components that transmit the torque from the driver shaft to the designeated object of output. Splines are a set of stubby gear teeth machined on the outside surface of a shaft that can be used as a coupling mechanism in rotating machinery.
