MARKS) 21) A hub is press fitted on a shaft. An element in the hub is subjected to a radial compressive stress (pressure) of 50MPa and hoop stress of

75MPa. Find the factor of safety if a) hub is made of C45 steel. Using maximum shear stress theory b) if the hub is made of cast iron. 22) A cast iron shaft with an ultimate tensile strength of 175 MPa, is subjected to a torsional load which is completely reversed, the load is to be applied an indefinite number of cycles, the shaft is 50mm diameter and is joined to a 75mm diameter shaft with a 12.5mm radius fillet. The factor of safety

is to be 2. What is the maximum torque that can be applied to the shaft? Solve using Soderberg's equation.

23)

A cold drawn steel rod of circular cross

section is subjected to a variable axial load varies from 5000

bending moment of 600 to 1200 NM as the to 14000N. The

maximum bending moment occurs at the same instant maximum. Determine the required diameter of the Neglect any stress concentration and

that the axial load is

rod for a factor of safety of 2.

column effect. Design on the basis of the maximum shear stress.

24)

Design a rigid muff coupling. The power transmitted is 30 KW at 360 rpm. Factor of safety is 6. Use C45 for the shaft. Assume other data if required.

25)

A plate 90mm wide and 15mm thick is joined with another plate by a single transverse weld and a double parallel fillet weld. Determine the length of parallel fillet, if the joint is subjected to both static and fatigue stress as 70 MN / m2 and compressive stress as

loading, taking tensile

56 MN / m2 Stress concentration factor may be taken as 1.5 for transverse weld and 3.7 for parallel fillet weld. 26) Design a coil spring to carry a load of 500N with an allowable deflection of 25mm. The spring index may be taken as 6. Suitable material may be assumed with a factor of safety 3. 27) Select a single row deep groove ball bearing to operate on the following work cycle. A rated life of 3000 hours is desired. a. Radial load of 5kN at 500 rpm for 25% of time. b. Radial load of 10kN and an axial load of 2kN at 700 rpm for 50% of time. c. Radial load of 7kN at 400 rpm for the remaining 25% of time.

28)

A single cylinder double acting steam engine delivers 185 kW at 100 rpm. The maximum fluctuation of energy per revolution is 15% of energy

developed per revolution. The speed variation is limited to 1% either way from the mean. The mean diameter of the rim is 2.4m. Design a cast iron flywheel for the engine.
