1. The load on a bolt consists of an axial pull of 10kN together with a transverse shear force
of 5kN. Find the diameter of bolt required according to
(i). Maximum principal stress theory (ii). Maximum shear stress theory
(iii). Maximum principal strain theory
2. A simply supported beam has a concentrated load at the centre which fluctuates from a
value of P to 4P. The span of the beam is 500 mm and its cross section is circular with a
diameter of 60 mm. Taking for the beam material an ultimate stress of 700 MPa, a yield
stress of 500 MPa, endurance limit of 330 MPa for reversed bending, and a factor of
safety of 1.3, calculate the maximum value of P. Take size factor of 0.85 and a surface
finish factor of 0.9.

1. A shaft made of mild steel is required to transmit 100 kW at 300 r.p.m. The supported
length of the shaft is 3 metres. It carries two pulleys each weighing 1500 N supported
at a distance of 1 metre from the ends respectively. Assuming the safe value of stress,
determine the diameter of the shaft.
2. Design a cast iron protective type flange coupling to transmit 15 kW at 900 r.p.m
from an electric motor to a compressor. The service factor may be assumed as 1.35.
The following permissible stresses may be used:
Shear stress for shaft, bolt and key material = 40 MPa
Crushing stress for bolt and key = 80 MPa
Shear stress for cast iron = 8 MPa
Draw a neat sketch of the coupling.

1. A 200 x 150 x 10 mm angle is to be welded to a steel plate by fillet weld as shown in fig. If
the angle is subjected to a static load of 200 kN, find the length of weld at the top and
bottom. The allowable shear stress for static loading may be taken as 75 MPa.
2. An otto cycle engine develops 50 kW at 150 rpm with 75 explosions per minute. The change

of speed from the commencement to the end of power stroke must not exceed 0.5 % of mean
on either side. Design a suitable rim section having width four times the depth so that the
hoop stress does not exceed 4 MPa. Assume that the flywheel stores 15/15 times the energy
stored by the rim and that the work done during power stroke is 1.4 times the work done
during the cycle. Density of rim material is 7200 kg /m3.
