A cold-rolled transmission shaft, made of annealed AISI C1050, is to transmit a torque of 27 in-
kips with a maximum bending moment of 43 in-kips. What should be the diameter according to the
Code for a mild shock load?
A short stub shaft, made of SAE 1035, as rolled, receives 30 hp at 300 rpm via a 12-in. spur gear,
the power being delivered to another shaft through a flexible coupling. The gear is keyed midway
between the bearings and its pressure angle φ = 20o . See figure below. (a) Neglecting the radial
component of the tooth load, determine the shaft diameter for a mild shock load. (b) Considering
both tangential and radial components, compute the shaft diameter.
