PLATE NO.2 SHAFTS

Design Problem No.1:


Design a machinery shaft using ASME Code. It is to transmit 82 hp at a speed of 1150 rpm with
mild shock. The shaft is subjected to a maximum bending moment of 7500 in-lb. and an axial thrust
load of 15,000 lb. The material is AISI 3150, OQT 1000 F.

Design Problem No. 2:

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?

Design Problem No. 3:

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.
