Estudio sobre la resistencia y rigidez de ejes huecos

The shaft are transmission elements that constantly are subjected to the action of loads and stresses, but that at the same time should be light enough to support these without sacrificing the mechanical resistance. The purpose of this work is to identify the incidence that will have reduction of weight in the mechanical resistance of a transmission axis, for these they have been considered diverse geometric variations and the results have been organized in the program MS - Excel. These have allowed to generate an approach about the convenience of using hollow shaft and which would be the best geometries.
