Frequency Analysis of a rotating shaft
1. AIM:
The aim is to model the rotating shaft in solidworks and perform a frequency analysis on it.
2. PROCEDURE:
Dimensioons for the given rotationg shaft are taken as follows:
- Step 1: The first step is to model the rotating shaft according to the dimensions assumed using various sketch tools and features in the SOLIDWORKS software.
- Step 2: The second step is to use the new study option and create a frequency study.
- Step 3: The third step is to apply material to the rotating shaft. In this step we apply the standard alloy steel material.
- Step 4: The next step is to apply bearing fixtures to both the ends of the rotating shafts using the fixtures option.
- Step 5: The next step is to create a mesh using the mesh option.
- Step 6: The next step is to run the mesh so that we can get the results.
3. RESULT:
- FREQUENCY 1:
- FREQUENCY 2:
- FREQUENCY 3:
- FREQUENCY 4:
- FREQUENCY 5:
4. OBSERVATIONS:
5. CONCLUSION:
I have successfully modelled the rotating shaft in SOLIDWORKS assuming the dimensions and also performed a frequency analysis and have obtained the results and observations as shown in the tables and images.
