AXLE STRESSES

A comprehensive survey of the methods used to determine axle stresses has been made. The axles are classed as carrying axles or driving axles. In this portion of the survey report, bending moment diagrams are shown for braked and unbraked carrying axles for both the inside and outside bearings. The bending moment diagram for a carriage axle including allowance for the overturning effect at speed is also illustrated.
