Abstract
A finite element model has been made of a spline coupling
between a shaft and a sleeve. The stress concentration factor
is calculated and compared to analytical calculations. An
analytical model for the load distribution in the axial direction
and the torque transfer between shaft and sleeve is presented
and compared to finite element results. Methods to uniform
the load distribution and thereby decrease the stress concentration
factor are tested with the analytical model. The induction
hardened shafts with splines are fatigue tested and the lives
are presented. The residual stress on the shaft surface is
measured. The analytical model shows that the best way uniform
the load is to vary the thickness of the spline tooth in the
axial direction. Different shapes and sizes of the tooth thickness
variation are also investigated. It is probably possible to
extend the fatigue life at least two times for this spline,
by uniforming the load distribution. |

Browsable Indexes
A browsable index is an alphabetical listing of terms used in a specific
field of a database. You can browse this list to see, for example, how
author names appear in the databases. Browsable Indexes are available
for the following fields: Author
Journal Name
Publication Type
Journal Coverage, JC=
Each journal monitored receives a level-of-coverage rating based on
the scope of the material included. The three levels are:
Core, where all papers in an issue are indexed
Priority, where more than 50% of the material is indexed
Selective, where less than 50% of the material is indexed
If desired, you can restrict a search to what may be regarded as the
most important journals in the field, by ANDing jc=core to your search
statement, eg:
kw=(fatigue tests) and jc=core
Number of References, NR=
This field is provided more for informational purposes rather than
for searching. It indicates how many references, ie, cited references,
are in the bibliography of the source document. Many older records
have a number in this field, but do not have any cited references
displayed, because these records were created prior to the decision
to begin capturing such references. Occasionally, the number in this
field exceeds the number of cited references displayed, because only
references in the Roman alphabet have been captured.
