2. Determine the dimensions of the rectangular cross section whose depth is twice the
width for a C –clamp frame of cast iron and loaded as shown in fig. the ultimate
compression stress for C.I used for frame is 125.6Mpa. Take e = 100 mm and factor
of safety as 4.
1. A circular bar of 500 mm length is supported freely at its two ends. It is acted upon by
a central concentrated cyclic load having a minimum value of 20 kN and a maximum
value of 50 kN. Determine the diameter of bar by taking a factor of safety of 1.5, size
effect of 0.85, surface finish factor of 0.9. The material properties of the bar: ultimate
strength of 650 MPa, yield strength of 500 MPa and endurance strength of 350 MPa.
2. A circular rod made of ductile material has endurance strength of 280 N/mm2 and
ultimate strength of 350 N/mm2. The member is subjected to a variable axial load
varying from + 70 kN (tensile) to – 300 kN (Compressive). Take fatigue stress
concentration factor as 1.8 and factor of safety as 2.0. Find a suitable diameter of the
rod.
3. A rotating shaft of 38-mm is made of forged 40C8 steel (S ut = 550 MPa, Syt = 400
MPa). The shaft is stepped down to 32-mm, diameter and is subjected to a bending
moment (maximum 150 N-m, minimum 50 N-m) at the step. Determine factor of
safety for 99% reliability and machined surface finish. Fillet radius at the step = 2 mm.
