OR

= 0.18 x Sut

Whichever of the above two equations are minimum;

= 0.3 x 240 = 72 Mpa

OR

= 0.18 x 400 = 72 Mpa

Since, the pulleys are keyed to the shaft therefore, reducing smaller value by 25%.

= 0.75 x 72 = 54 Mpa

Step II : Torque Transmitted :

Using the relationship:

Since torque is transmitted by a belt drive:

Torque = (T1 - T2) r

477464.829 = (T1 - T2) x 200

(T1 - T2) = 2387.3241

also,

(2.5 T2 - T2) = 2387.3241

T2 = 1591.5494,

Hence T1 = 3978.8735 N

Step III - Find maximum B.M. i.e.; M:

Since belt tensions act vertically downwards, the vertical load at the center of the shaft
becomes (T1 + T2 ) in the downward direction.

Therefore:

Bending moment Calculations:

B.M at A = 0

B.M at C = 2785.211 x 500 =1392605.644 Nmm

B.M at B = 0

Maximum Bending Moment (Mmax) = 1392605.644 Nmm

Step IV - Using the final formula as per theory mentioned we find shaft diameter
