The link shown, made of AISI C1045 steel, as rolled, is subjected to a tensile load

of 8000 lb. Let h =1.5b . If the load is repeated but not reversed, determine the
dimensions of the section with the design based on (a) ultimate strength, (b) yield
strength. (c) If this link, which is 15 in. long., must not elongate more than 0.005
in., what should be the dimensions of the cross section?

Given: AISI C1045

F = 8000 lb
h = 1.5 b
Required: Dimension based on
a) Ultimate strength
b) Yield strength
c) If this link, which is 15 in. long., must not elongate more than 0.005
in., what should be the dimensions of the cross section?

Solution:

From Table AT7 – Design of machine elements of Faires

For AISI C1045
- Su = 96 ksi
- Sy = 59 ksi
- E = 30 x106 psi
a) Based on Ultimate Strength
 N – Factor of safety from Table 1.1 = 6 for repeated but not
reversed load

A short compression member with Do = 2Di is to support a dead load of

25 tons. The material is to be 4130 steel, WQT 1100 F. Calculate the
outside and inside diameters on the basis of (a) yield strength, (b)
ultimate strength.
Given: 4130 WQT 1100F
F = 25 tons = 50000 lbs =50 kips
Do = 2Di

Required: Di and Do based on

a) Sy
b) Su

Solution:

From Table AT7 for 4130 WQT 1100F

Su = 127 ksi
Sy = 114 ksi

From table 1.1, for dead load
