A shaft is loaded in bending and torsion such that Ma = 70 N m, Ta = 45 N m,

Mm = 55 N m, and Tm = 35 N m. For the shaft, Su = 700 MPa and Sy = 560
MPa, and a fully corrected endurance limit of Se = 210 MPa is assumed. Let Kf
= 2.2 and Kf s = 1.8. With a design factor of 2.0 determine the minimum
acceptable diameter of the shaft using the
(a) DE-Gerber criterion.
(b) DE-elliptic criterion.
(c) DE-Soderberg criterion.
(d) DE-Goodman criterion.
Discuss and compare the results.
The section of shaft shown in the figure is to be designed to approximate
relative sizes of d = 0.75D and r = D/20 with diameter d conforming to that of
standard metric rolling-bearing bore sizes. The shaft is to be made of SAE 2340
steel, heat-treated to obtain minimum strengths in the shoulder area of 175
kpsi ultimate tensile strength and 160 kpsi yield strength with a Brinell
hardness not less than 370. At the shoulder the shaft is subjected to a
completely reversed bending moment of 600 lbf in, accompanied by a steady
torsion of 400 lbf in. Use a design factor of 2.5 and size the shaft for an infinite
life.
The rotating solid steel shaft is simply supported by bearings at points B and C
and is driven by a gear (not shown) which meshes with the spur gear at D,
which has a 150-mm pitch diameter. The force F from the drive gear acts at a
pressure angle of 20. The shaft transmits a torque to point A of TA = 340 N
m. The shaft is machined from steel with Sy = 420 MPa and Sut = 560 MPa.
Using a factor of safety of 2.5, determine the minimum allowable diameter of
the 250-mm section of the shaft based on (a) a static yield analysis using the
distortion energy theory and (b) a fatigue-failure analysis. Assume sharp fillet
radii at the bearing shoulders for estimating stress-concentration factors.
A geared industrial roll shown in the figure is driven at 300 rev/min by a force F
acting on a 3-in-diameter pitch circle as shown. The roll exerts a normal force of
30 lbf/in of roll length on the material being pulled through. The material passes
under the roll. The coefficient of friction is 0.40. Develop the moment and shear
diagrams for the shaft modeling the roll force as (a) a concentrated force at the
center of the roll, and (b) a uniformly distributed force along the roll. These
diagrams will appear on two orthogonal planes.
In the double-reduction gear train shown, shaft a is driven by a motor attached

by a flexible coupling attached to the overhang. The motor provides a torque of
2500 lbf in at a speed of
1200 rpm. The gears have 20 pressure angles, with diameters shown on the
figure. Use an
AISI 1020 cold-drawn steel. Design one of the shafts (as specified by the
instructor) with a design factor of 1.5 by performing the following tasks.
(a) Sketch a general shaft layout, including means to locate the gears and
bearings, and to transmit the torque.
(b) Perform a force analysis to find the bearing reaction forces, and generate
shear and bending moment diagrams.
(c) Determine potential critical locations for stress design.
(d) Determine critical diameters of the shaft based on fatigue and static
stresses at the critical locations.

(e) Make any other dimensional decisions necessary to specify all diameters
and axial dimensions. Sketch the shaft to scale, showing all proposed
dimensions.
( f ) Check the deflection at the gear, and the slopes at the gear and the
bearings for satisfaction of the recommended limits in Table 72.
(g) If any of the deflections exceed the recommended limits, make appropriate
changes to bring them all within the limits.
In the figure is a proposed shaft design to be used for the input shaft a in Prob.
717. A ball bearing is planned for the left bearing, and a cylindrical roller
bearing for the right.
(a) Determine the minimum fatigue factor of safety by evaluating at any critical
locations. Use
a fatigue failure criteria that is considered to be typical of the failure data,
rather than one that is considered conservative. Also ensure that the shaft does
not yield in the first load cycle.
(b) Check the design for adequacy with respect to deformation, according to
the recommendations in Table 72.
The shaft shown in the figure carries a 18-lbf gear on the left and a 32-lbf gear
on the right. Estimate the first critical speed due to the loads, the shafts critical
speed without the loads, and the critical speed of the combination.
A 25-mm-diameter uniform steel shaft is 600 mm long between bearings.

(a) Find the lowest critical speed of the shaft.
(b) If the goal is to double the critical speed, find the new diameter.
(c) A half-size model of the original shaft has what critical speed?
The shaft shown in the figure carries a 18-lbf gear on the left and a 32-lbf gear
on the right. Estimate the first critical speed due to the loads, the shafts critical
speed without the loads, and the critical speed of the combination.
