A review of various techniques used for shaft failure analysis

This paper examines the various methodologies utilized by various writers for shafts failure research in different applications. This document compares and contrasts the numerous methodologies employed, as well as their application and limitations, as presented by various writers. The goal of this project is to investigate the various approaches for shaft failure analysis and to select the optimum methodology for shaft failure analysis in a gear box installed on an overhead crane to avoid repetitive failure. This review paper gives the insights of various analysis carried out to find shaft failure. Roller Shaft failures can be optimized by preventive mechanical maintenance techniques & using safe design with proper manufacturing processes. The various literatures has been systematically compared and reviewed to get a proper shaft failure analysis. Every method has its pros and cons and used by specific industrial segments. Shaft failure causes the unnecessary shutdowns and leads to heavy production loss. The objective of this paper is to study various shafts failure analysis and select the best method to find out the root because failure of heavy nip roller shaft used in textile industry.
