Flexible shaft- Torque vs Length Relationship
Hello Members,
sorry if not posting in the right sub-forum but had a question regarding torque estimation in a long flexible shaft
I have 2 different sections in a 50" flexible shaft with varying material stiffness and the sections have the same geometry. First section is 20" length and the second section is 30" length
I have input angle vs torque output data for 5" stubby samples for each of these sections. The curves typically have steep initial slope and then tapers off to a horizontal line.
How can I utilize this data to estimate torque output for the overall shaft?
thanks for your help in advance,
