Abstract

This article compares the traditional static and dynamic (fatigue) methodologies for the mechanical design of a shaft used in the speed reducer of an industrial fan against the probabilistic design methodology based on the binary synthesis method. To make the comparison, the case of the design of the diameter of the intermediate shaft of a speed reducer used between a motor and a fan used to dry grains is analyzed. The main objective is to show the advantage that the probabilistic approach offers over traditional axis design approaches. The effectiveness of the results of the methodologies is validated with the torsional rigidity allowed for the design of shafts. The diameter obtained by the static methodology and the one obtained by the fatigue methodology is smaller than the diameter obtained by the torsional stiffness, on the contrary, the diameter obtained by the binary synthesis probabilistic methodology is greater than the diameter of the torsional stiffness.
