PLATE 2 VARIABLE STRESSES

PROBLEM 1
A LINK AS SHOWN IS TO BE MADE OF AISI 2330, WQT 1000
F. THE LOAD F=5 KIPS IS REPEATED AND REVERSED. FOR THE
TIME BEING, IGNORE STRESS CONCENTRATIONS.
(a) IF ITS SURFACE IS MACHINED, WHAT SHOULD BE ITS
DIAMETER FOR N=2.
(b) THE SAME AS (A), EXCEPT THAT THE SURFACE IS MIRROR
POLISHED. WHAT WOULD BE THE PERCENTAGE SAVING IN
WEIGHT?
(c) THE SAME AS (A), EXCEPT THAT THE SURFACE IS AS
FORGED.

PROBLEM 2
A SHAFT SUPPORTED AS A SIMPLE BEAM, 18 in. LONG, IS
MADE OF CARBURIZED AISI 3120 STEEL. WITH THE SHAFT
ROTATING, A STEADY LOAD OF 2000 lb. IS APPLIED MIDWAY
BETWEEN THE BEARINGS. THE SURFACES ARE GROUND.
INDEFINITE LIFE IS DESIRED WITH N = 2 BASED ON ENDURANCE
STRENGTH. WHAT SHOULD BE ITS DIAMETER IF THERE ARE NO
SURFACE DISCONTINUITIES?

PROBLEM 3
THE SIMPLE BEAM SHOWN, 30-in. LONG (=a+l+d), IS MADE
OF AISI C1022 STEEL, AS ROLLED, LEFT A FORGED. AT a=10 in,
F1=3000 lb IS A DEAD LOAD. AT D=10 in, F2=2400 lb IS REPEATED,
REVERSED LOAD. FOR N=2, INDEFINITE LIFE, AND h=3b,
DETERMINE b AND h. (IGNORE STRESS CONCENTRATION).

PROBLEM 4
A ROUND SHAFT, MADE OF COLD-FINISHED
AISI 1020 STEEL, IS SUBJECTED TO A VARIABLE TORQUE
WHOSE MAXIMUM VALUE IS 6283 in-lb. FOR N=1.5 ON THE
SODERBERG CRITERION, DETERMINE THE DIAMETER IF (A) THE
TORQUE IS REVERSED, (B) THE TORQUE VARIES FROM ZERO
TO A MAXIMUM, (C) THE TORQUE VARIES FROM 3141 in-lb TO
MAXIMUM.
