OR
a) Discuss the construction and design approach to a leaf spring. Hence obtain
expressions for stresses in full length and graduated length leaves of a leaf spring
assembly.
b) The valve spring of an IC engine is 60 mm long when the valve is open and 68
mm long when the valve is closed. The spring loads are 350 N when the valve is
closed and 500 N when the valve is open. The inside diameter of the spring is to
have a minimum value of 30 mm. Design the spring selecting a suitable material
and adopting a factor of safety of 3.

UNIT-2
a) A cone clutch has a semi-cone angle of 120 to transmit 10 kW at 750 rpm. The
width of the face is one-fourth of the mean diameter of friction lining. If the
normal intensity of pressure between the contacting surfaces is not to exceed
0.085Mpa (0.85bar), assuming uniform wear and taking f=0.2, calculate
dimensions of clutch. Also find the axial force while running, i.e. at the beginning
of the engagement.
b) A 400 mm radius brake drum contacts a single shoe as shown in figure.2. and
sustains a torque of 200 Nm at 500 rpm. For a coefficient of friction 0.25,
determine;
(i) Normal force on the shoe
(ii) Required force F to apply brake for clockwise rotation.
(iii) Required force F to apply brake for counter clockwise rotation
(iv) The dimension 'c' required for self locking
(v) Heat generated

UNIT-3
a) Derive the Lewis equation for tangential strength of the gear tooth.
b) Design a pair of spur gears to transmit a power of 20kW from a shaft running at
1OOOrpm to another shaft to be run at 400rpm. The allowable static strength of the
pinion is 191.3MPa and that ofthe gear is 137.34MPa. The pressure angle is 20
full depth involute. Use the shock factor as 1.25 and the gears are of carefully
cut gears. Check the design for dynamic and wear loads.
OR
a) Explain briefly the Formative number of teeth of Bevel gears.
b) A pair ofbevel gear wheels with 20 pressure angle consists of20 teeth pinion
meshing with 30 teeth gear. The module is 4 mm while the face width is 20mm,
the surface hardness of both pinion and gear is 400 BHN. The pinion rotates at 500
rpm and receives power from an electric motor. The starting torque of the motor is
150 percent of rated torque. Determine the safe power that can be transmitted
considering the dynamic load, wear strength and endurance strength. The
allowable bending stress may be taken as 240 MPa.

b) Derive Petroffs equation for coefficient of friction in journal bearings.

c) A 75mm long full journal bearing of diameter 75mm supports a radial load of
12kN at the shaft speed of 1800rpm. Assume the ratio of diameter to the
diametral clearance as 1000. The viscosity of oil is 0.01PaS at the operating
temperature. Determine the following
(i)
Sommerfeld number
(ii)
Coefficient of friction based on McKee equation
(iii) Amount of heat generated
UNIT-S
a) Select a V-belt drive to transmit a power of 6 kW from a shaft rotating at 1500
rpm to a parallel shaft to be run at 375rpm. The distance between the shaft centres
is 500mm. The pitch diameter of the smaller grooved pulley are to be taken
150mm. The factor of application is to be taken as 1.2.
b) A 25mm 6 x 37 steel wire rope is used in a mine of 80m deep. The velocity of the
cage is 2 m/sec, and the time required to accelerate the cage to the desired velocity
is 10 sees. The diameter of the drum is 1.25m. Determine the safe load that the
hoist can handle by assuming a factor of safety as 8. Neglect the impact load on
the rope.
