1. A part is loaded with a combination of bending, axial, and torsion such that the following stresses are created at a
particular location:
Bending: Fluctuating stress from – 40 MPa to 150 MPa
Axial: None
Torsion: Mean stress of 90 MPa, with an alternating stress of 10 percent of the mean stress
Assume the varying stresses are in phase with each other. The part contains a notch such that 𝐾 , = 1.4,
𝐾, = 1.1, and 𝐾 , = 2.0. The material properties are 𝑆 = 300 MPa and 𝑆 = 400 MPa. The completely
adjusted endurance limit is found to be 𝑆 = 200 MPa. Using the Gerber fatigue failure criterion, find the factor of
safety for fatigue based on infinite life. If the life is not infinite, estimate the number of cycles. Be sure to check for
yielding.

2. Drawing (1) of the figure below shows a countershaft with helical gear (B), bevel gear (D), and two supporting
bearings (A and C). Loads acting on the bevel gear are shown. Forces on the helical gear can be determined from
equilibrium of moments about the shaft axis plus the given proportions of the helical gear force components. Shaft
dimensions are given in drawing (2). All shoulder fillets (at points where diameter changes) have a radius of 5 mm.
Note that the shaft is designed so that only bearing A takes thrust. The shaft is made of hardened steel, 𝑆 = 1069
MPa, 𝑆 = 896 MPa. All important surfaces are finished by grinding.:
a) Draw load, shear force, and bending moment diagrams for the shaft in the 𝑥𝑦 and 𝑥𝑧 planes. Also draw diagrams
showing the intensity of the axial force and torque along the length of the shaft.
b) Determine the critical section and the critical point.
c) At critical point, show the general stress state and determine the principal stresses.
d) Draw principal stress element, show the stresses, and denote their directions with respect to 𝑥𝑦𝑧 coordinate
system.
e) For a reliability of 99%, estimate the fatigue safety factor (modified Goodman criteria) of the shaft at points B,
C, and E.
