For shaft with bending M and torque T: Equivalent torque Teq = √(M²+T²) (used with τ formula: τ = Teq×r/J for max shear). Equivalent bending moment Meq = (M + √(M²+T²))/2 (used with bending stress σ = Meq/Z). Principal stress: σ1,2 = σ_b/2 ± √((σ_b/2)²+τ²). Design shafts for: Teq and τ ≤ τ_allow, or Meq and σ ≤ σ_allow.
