A general numerical technique is presented for the solution of the problem of elastic bending of axisymmetric bodies. Results obtained by this method are compared with existing results for grooved and shouldered shafts in pure bending and good agreement is obtained in each case. Additional results are presented for the stress-concentration effect of flat-bottomed circumferential grooves in cylindrical shafts for which no experimental or analytical results are available.
