Example:
The shaft whose torque varies from 2000 to 6000 lb.in has 1 ½ in in
diameter and 60,000 psi yield strength. Compute the shaft mean
average stress.
Example:
A solid shaft is subjected by cyclic variation of torque from 2000 lb.in to
3000 lb.in. The shaft material has yield strength in tension of 35,000 psi
and endurance strength of 24,000 psi. Using a factor of safety based on
fatigue of 1.3, determine the shaft diameter.
Example:
A plate 13 mm thick is subjected to a varying axial load of 90,000 N to
45,000 N. Material tests show, Sy = 290 MPa and Sn = 165 Mpa. Factor
of safety based on yield point is 2. Find the maximum permissible value
of width, W.
