DESIGN OF MACHINE ELEMENTS - I
[ Mechanical Engineering ]
Time: 3 hours Max Marks: 70
Answer any FIVE questions
All questions carry equal marks

1. a) What are the steps involved in design of machine elements?

b) Why does the tensile strength of cast iron decrease as the thickness of part increases?

2. a) Distinguish between Strength and Rigidity.

b) A stepped rod has a diameter of 200mm for a length of 1m, a diameter of 150mm for a length of
0.8m and a diameter of 100mm for a length of 1m. The rod is subjected to a tensile load of 5kN.
Calculate the factor of safety, if the critical stress of the material is 1.2 MPa.

3. A rod is subjected to an axial load which varies from 2.5kN to 8.5kN. The endurance limit and the
yield point of the material are, respectively, 150MPa and 350MPa. Taking a factor of safety of 10,
determine the diameter of the rod.

4. a) Classify various types of riveted joints and mention their applications.

b) Two lengths of mild steel tie rod having width 200 mm and thickness 12.5 mm are to be
connected by means of a butt joint with double cover plates. Design the joint if the permissible
stresses are 80 MPa in tension, 65 MPa in shear and 160 MPa in crushing. Make a sketch of the
joint.

5. a) What is the difference between ordinary bolt and a stud bolt? Give one application for each of
them.
b) A 20kg balancing mass is to be attached to the crank web of an IC engine using two bolts. The
speed of the engine is 500rpm. The location of centre of mass of the balancing mass may be
taken to be at a distance of 225mm from the axis of the crank shaft. Design the bolts, taking the
permissible tensile stress in the bolt material as 60MPa.

6. Design a sleeve and cotter joint to connect two rods which are to transmit a load of 40kN.
Take the allowable stresses in tension, shear and crushing, respectively as 80MPa, 40MPa and
160MPa. Sketch the designed joint.

7. a) Explain under what circumstances hollow shafts are preferred over solid shafts.
b) A propeller shaft is required to transmit 45 KW power at 500 rpm. It is a hollow shaft, having
inside diameter 0.6 times of outside diameter. It is made of plain carbon steel and the
permissible shear stress is 84 N/mm2. Calculate the inside and outside diameters of the shaft.

8. a) What is a key? State the effect of keyway cut into a shaft.

b) Design a rectangular key for a shaft of 50 mm diameter. The shearing and crushing stresses for
the key material are 42 MPa and 70 MPa.
