Design of Machine Element-II Assignment-1

1. A cylindrical shaft made of steel of yield strength 700 MPa is subjected to static
loads consisting of a bending moment of 10 kN-m and a torsional moment of 30
kN-m. Determine the diameter of the shaft using two different theories of failure
and assuming a factor of safety of 2.
2. A cast gear wheel is driven by a pinion and transmits 100 kW at 375 r.p.m. The
gear has 200 machine cut teeth having 20° pressure angle and is mounted at the
center of a 0.4 m long shaft. The gear weighs 2000N and its pitch circle diameter
is 1.2 m. Design the gear shaft. Assume that the axes of the gear and pinion lie in
the same horizontal plane.
3. A pair of 20° full-depth involute tooth spur gears is to transmit 30 kW at a speed
of 250 r.p.m. of the pinion. The velocity ratio is 1 : 4. The pinion is made of cast
steel having an allowable static stress, σo = 100 MPa, while the gear is made of
cast iron having allowable static stress, σo = 55 MPa. The pinion has 20 teeth and
its face width is 12.5 times the module. Determine the module, face width and
pitch diameters of both the pinion and gear from the standpoint of strength only
taking velocity factor into consideration. The tooth form factor is given by the
expression.

And velocity factor is given as,

4. Design a spur gear drive required to transmit 45 kW at a pinion speed of 800

r.p.m. The velocity ratio is 3.5 : 1. The teeth are 20° full-depth involute with 18
teeth on the pinion. Both the pinion and gear are made of steel with a maximum
safe static stress of 180 MPa. Assume a safe stress of 40 MPa for the material of
the shaft and key.
