Abstract
Shaft design is still has the most significant effect in design of machine elements as shafts are common elements in aircraft engines, gear boxes and mechanisms. In this paper, a MATLAB code is established to obtain the optimum shaft design automatically. A friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) is developed to receive all design parameters such as; rotational speed, transmitted power, shaft material…etc. the proposed GUI also receives design parameters of shaft components such as pulleys and gears. Two case studies are introduced to illustrate the proposed shaft design tool to confirm its validity. All reaction forces, bending moment diagrams and torque diagrams are obtained using the proposed MATLAB code. These results are consistent with manual traditional design calculations.
