The shaft

Fatigue safety factor n(x)

Every section is checked with its own local diameter, its own notch factor and its own size factor. The red line is your target; the lowest point is the section that decides the design.

Notches

Bending moment M(x)

Solid line: the resultant M = √(My² + Mz²). Dashed: the two planes separately.

Torque T(x)

Deflection δ(x)

Slope θ(x)

The slope at the bearings is what misaligns them. The shaded bands are the typical limits for the bearing types you selected.

Local stresses σ′a and σ′m

Von Mises amplitude (orange) and midrange (cyan) stress, both already multiplied by the local fatigue notch factors Kf and Kfs.
