3) A flange coupling is to connect two 57mm diameter shaft. The hubs of the coupling are each
111mm in diameter, 92 mm thick and the flange webs are 19 mm thick. Six 16 mm blots in a
165mm diameter bolt circle connect the flanges. The keyway is 6mm shorter than the hub’s
thickness and the key is 14mm x 14mm. The coupling is to transmit 45 kW t 160 rpm. For al the
parts, the yield point value on shear is one-half the yield value in tension and compression which is
448 Mpa. Find the follwing stresses and factors of safety based on yield point

b. bearing in the key – Stress = 156.54MPa ; Factor of safety = 2.86
c. shear in bolts – Stress = 27MPa ; Factor of safety = 8.3
d. bearing in the bolts – Stress = 17.85MPa ; Factor of safety = 25
e. shear in the shaft – Stress = 73.86MPa ; Factor of safety = 3.03
f. shear in the hub – Stress = 7.3MPa ; Factor of safety = 30.67
