DESIGN OF SHAFT AND COUPLINGS
П
1. Shear strength for solid shaft = Ʈ = П
(or) T = x Ʈs x d3
2. Shear strength for Hollow shaft = Ʈ = П (( )/ )
M- Bending moment
I- moment of inertia of cross sectional area of the shaft about the axis of rotation
σb- Bending stress
ME8593- DESIGN OF MACHINE ELEMENTS
Design of keys:
Sunk key:
F = 2Mt / d, Mt = Fd / 2
A key may fail due to Shear or crushings,
a)Shear Failure:
Ʈ = F/L x b, F = Ʈ x L x b , A= L x b
Crushing Failure:
A = L x (h/2)
F = σc x L x (h/2)
Shear strength of the key = Ʈ x L x b x (d/2)
Shear strength of the shaft = (П / 16) x d3 x Ʈ
