Macine Element I Worksheet 2

1. A single-threaded 25-mm power screw is 25 mm in diameter with a pitch of 5 mm. A vertical load on the
screw reaches a maximum of 5kN. The coefficients of friction are 0.06 for the collar and 0.09 for the threads.
The frictional diameter of the collar is 45 mm. Find the overall efficiency and the torque to “raise” and
“lower” the load.
2. A 30-mm thick AISI 1020 steel plate is sandwiched between two 10-mm thick 2024-T3 aluminum plates and
compressed with a bolt and nut with no washers. The bolt is M10 × 1.5, property class 5.8.
(a) Determine a suitable length for the bolt, rounded up to the nearest 5 mm.
(b) Determine the bolt stiffness.
(c) Determine the stiffness of the members.
3. A bolted lap joint using ISO class 5.8 bolts and members made of cold-drawn SAE 1040 steel is shown in
the figure. Find the tensile shear load F that can be applied to this connection to provide a minimum factor of
safety of 2.5 for the following failure modes: shear of bolts, bearing on bolts, bearing on members, and
tension of members.

4. The cantilever bracket is bolted to a column with three M12 × 1.75 ISO 5.8 bolts. The bracket is made from
AISI 1020 hot-rolled steel. Find the factors of safety for the following failure modes: shear of bolts, bearing of
bolts, bearing of bracket, and bending of bracket.

5. A vertical channel 152 × 76 (see Table A–7) has a cantilever beam bolted to it as shown. The channel is hot-
rolled AISI 1006 steel. The bar is of hot-rolled AISI 1015 steel. The shoulder bolts are M10 × 1.5 ISO 5.8.
For a design factor of 2.0, find the safe force F that can be applied to the cantilever.

6. For a bolted assembly with eight bolts, the stiffness of each bolt is kb = 1.0 MN/mm and the stiffness of the
members is km = 2.6 MN/mm per bolt. The bolts are preloaded to 75 percent of proof strength. Assume the
external load is equally distributed to all the bolts. The bolts are M6 × 1 class 5.8 with rolled threads. A
fluctuating external load is applied to the entire joint with Pmax = 60 kN and Pmin = 20 kN.
(a) Determine the yielding factor of safety.
(b) Determine the overload factor of safety.
(c) Determine the factor of safety based on joint separation.
(d) Determine the fatigue factor of safety using the Goodman criterion.
