PROBLEMS

295

addition to the constraint on input and output shaft diameter, the following requirements must be met: Use a safety factor of 1.4 when considering the yield strength for the shaft material. Design the gear system for minimum weight. The total angle of twist for the input and output shafts cannot exceed 5 degrees (end of input shaft relative to end of output shaft). 12.24 GIVEN : A solid elastic circular rod is loaded as shown:

y mt (x) = 5x [in-lb/in]
Case A

3000 [in-lb]

2 ft y px (x) = 5x [lb/in]
Case B

3000 [lb]

2 ft

Problem 12.24

ASSUME : Radius=2 inches. NOTE: mixed units. Work this problem in English units and inches. G = 5 105 psi, E = 5 105 psi. REQUIRED : a) Determine the maximum shear stress, x , in case A, and the maximum axial stress, xx , in case B. b) Determine the rotation (Case A) and axial deection (case B) at the free end. c) Plot Mt (x) vs. x and P (x) vs. x on separate but side by side graphs. P (x) is the internal axial force. d) Plot (x) vs. x and ux (x) vs. x on separate but side by side graphs. e) Why are the plot sets in c) and d) so similar? NOTE: That for linear loads, internal resultants are quadratic and rotations/displacements are cubic. Also, check your graphs to make sure that the boundary conditions used to solve the dierential equations plot correctly. 12.25 GIVEN : A solid rod is xed at both ends as shown. Assume a solid circular bar with radius of 0.5 in. REQUIRED : a) Plot Mt (x) vs. x.
