(@) ) (a) (b) @) PART B — (5 x 16 = 80 marks) A bar of circular cross-section is subjected to alternating tensile forces varying from a minimum of 200 KN to a maximum of 500 KN. It is.to be manufactured of a material with an ultimate tensile strength of 900 MPa and an endurance limit of 700 MPa. Determine the diameter of the bar using safety factors of 3.5 related to ultimate tensile strength and 4 related to en durance limit and a stress concentration factor of 1.65 for fatigue load. Use Goodman straight line as basis for design. (16) Or A hollow shaft of 40 mm outer diameter and 25 mm inner diameter is subjected to a twisting moment of 120 N-m, simultancously; it is subjected to an axial thrust of 10 kN and a bending moment of 80 N-m. Calculate the maximum compressive and shear stresses. (16) Compare the weight, strength and stiffness of a hollow shaft of the same external diameter as that of the solid shaft. The inside diameter of the hollow shaft being half the external diameter. Both the shafts have the same material and length. Or Design a clamp coupling to transmit 30 kW at 100 r.p.m. The allowable stress for the shaft and key is 40 MPa and the number of bolts connecting the two halves are six. The permissible tensile stress for the bolts is 70 MPa. The coefficient of friction between the muff and the shaft surface may be taken as 0.3. A cast iron bracket as shown in figure supports a load of 10 KN. It is fixed to the horizontal channel by means of four identical bolts, two at A and two at B. The bolts are made of steel 30 C8 (Sy: = 400 N/mm?) and the factor of safety is 6. Determine the major diameter of the bolts if d= 0.84. 60 ———4 Note : All the dimensions are in ‘mm’. Or 2 8104014. 15. (b) A bracket is welded to the vertical plate by means of two fillet welds as shown in figure. Determine the size of the welds, if the permissible shear stress is limited to 70 N/mm’. 50 kN Note ; All dimensions are in ‘mm’. (a) Design a closed coiled helical compression spring for a load range varying from 2.25 KN to 2.75 KN and corresponding axial deflection of 6 mm. Spring index is 5. Permissible shear stress is 400 Nimm? and modulus of rigidity is 80 kN/mm?. Or (&) A hand lever for brake is 0.8 m long from the centre of gravity of the spindle to the point of application of the pull of 300 N. The effective overhang from the nearest bearing is 100 mm. If the permissible stress in tensile, shear and crushing is not to exceed 66 N/mm* design the spindle, key and lever. Assume the arm of the lever to be rectangular having width twice of its thickness. (a) The radial reaction on a bearing is 8000 N. It also carries a thrust of 5000 N. The shaft diameter is 140 mm and it rotates at 1700 rpm. Outer ring is stationery.
