MITCalc : Buckling Calculation : Calculate and check the slender strut (column) buckling using this Excel addin that shows tables and graphs, and lets you tinker with settings
As its name makes it quite clear, MITCalc - Shafts Calculation is a tool that aims to greatly aid you when it comes to performing complex calculations and examinations of shafts.
Comprehensive and incredibly easy-to-use Excel-based tool for shaft calculations
The first thing you need to know about this tool is the fact that it's actually based on Microsoft Excel. Point of fact, it requires the presence of Microsoft Excel versions 2000, XP, 2010, 2013 or 2016 on your computer in order to work as intended.Secondly, it's well worth pointing out the fact that the tool is based on relevant procedures and algorithms, as well as standards such as AGMA, ISO, DIN, and BS.
Thoroughly-designed shaft calculator
In just a few words, you just have to input the project data, and the utility takes care of everything on its own. Things like deformations, strengths, courses of forces, calculation of reactions, moments, stress, bending angles, can all be neatly determined. Furthermore, it can help you calculate the critical speed and all sorts of safety coefficients such as dynamic safety and static safety.Quite interestingly, the utility can work with most types of shafts, hollow ones included. You're also provided with options to define all sorts of parameters such as neck-downs, recesses, and grooves. Last but not least, please note that the app is also quite CAD-friendly, with support for most 2D and 3D systems out there.
Simple, efficient and lightweight shaft calculator
All in all, even though it's based on Excel (which is not entirely a bad thing), MITCalc - Shafts Calculation is a pretty effective tool. Even though it's highly unlikely if you're having trouble getting to grips with it, feel free to check out the comprehensive documentation section.
