SOLUTION (6.36)
Known: A lawn mower component has known stresses, an ultimate tensile strength of
97,000 psi, and a yield strength of 63,300 psi.
Find: Determine the safety factor according to:
(a) the maximum-normal-stress theory
(b) the maximum-shear-stress theory
(c) the maximum-distortion-energy theory
Schematic and Given Data:
0, = 25,000 psi
Tyy = 15,000 psi
Analysis:
1. Maximum-normal-stress theory
From, Eq. (4.16)
“PSI
= ($5,000 + 25.000) , {(22.0 p00 “+ (15, oooy2|?
= 53,028 psi
SF = Sy / 6; = 63,300/53,028 = 1.19 a
2. Maximum-shear-stress theory
From, Eq. (4.18)
