Torsional ones are a little bit harder. Especially if you want, as you probably should, a graph of maximum stress anywhere in the shaft/PSRU/Prop system vs RPM. A few fine white lines down the length of the shaft will clear up that problem. Will they? It'll obviously show huge torsional movement, but many, especially shorter shafts may fail before it becomes visible. |

Ian, if it won't stay together long enough to turn on the strobe, it probably needs a little more work... ![]() Richard |
