Everyone is familiar with deflection of beams with uniform cross section. In actual practice we come across mechanical shafts with variable cross section. In most of practical cases, it is necessary that a beam should be not only strong enough for its purpose, but also that it should have required stiffness, that is; it should not deflect from its original position by more than a certain amount. Very often stepped simply supported shafts, stepped cantilever shafts are introduced in the machines. It becomes difficult to estimate deflection for varying cross section beams. This paper presents a method to estimate deflection of such kind of beams. A tube inside a tube is considered as a cantilever beam and studied. The method introduced aims at simplifying the calculation. Two standard methods are also adopted to estimate deflection. Results of new method are compared with those of standard method. |
