The basic equation for a solid shaft with no axial load combines bending and torsion into a single diameter calculation:

The (Design of Transmission Shafting) is a critical technical standard used by engineers to calculate the diameter of solid or hollow rotating steel shafts. While the standard was officially withdrawn in 1994, its methodology remains a foundational reference for fatigue analysis in modern mechanical design. Core Purpose and Scope While the standard was officially withdrawn in 1994,
: It is important to note that ASME B106.1M has been withdrawn by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and is no longer an active, supported standard. Engineers often now look to other methods or current standards like ASME B17.1 (Keys and Keyseats) or general mechanical design practices.
