Stress concentration factors


Bending

Fig. 3. Stress concentration factor for a shaft shoulder.

The maximum stress (bending)

σmax = Kft σnim (5)

σnim is a nominal stress, Kft is a stress concentration factor

Kft = 1 + q(Ktt - 1) (6)

where q is a notch sensitivity of the material (steel S355: q ≈ 0,9) and Ktt geometric stress
concentration factor (fig. 3).

Bolted joint
1 Stresses of a bolt during tightening

A flange joint is a typical bolted joint (fig. 1-1).

Fig. 1-1. Flange joint.

When the bolt is tightened, a tensile stress and torsional stress is developed in the bolt. For
ISO metric threads (thread angle 60°) the friction torque in threads is /1/
⎛ P ⎞
M G = 12 d 2 FM ⎜⎜1,155µG + ⎟ (1-1)
⎝ πd 2 ⎟⎠
where FM is the preload (from tightening)
d2 the pitch diameter (table 1-1)
µG the friction coefficient in threads
P the pitch.

The torsional stress in a round section (diameter dS) is


M G 8d 2 FM ⎛ P ⎞
τ= = ⎜⎜1,155µG + ⎟⎟ (1-2)

The equation for the diameter dS of the thread is /1, 2/


d + d3
dS = 2 (1-3)

where d3 is the root diameter of the thread. If the bolt has a reduced diameter (< dS), use the
minimum diameter dT. The tensile stress in the cross-section due to the preload force is
4 FM
σS = (1-4)
πd S2

The effective stress is (theory of constant energy of distortion)


σ vert = σ 2S + 3 τ 2 (1-5)
Machine Elements/SK 15

The effective stress should not be more than 90 % of the yield stress (0,9Rp0,2 or 0,9ReL). The
maximum tensile stress during tightening is /1, 3/
0,9 Rp0,2
σS = (1-6)

The friction coefficient in threads depends on the material, surface treatment and lubrication.
(table 1-2). For bolts M6...M16 σS ≈ 0,7ReL, when the friction coefficient in threads is µG =
0,15. The maximum axial force (in assembled state) is
FSP = σS AS (1-7)
where AS is the tensile stress area of the bolt (table 1-1). Property classes of bolts are in the
table 1-3 (SFS-ISO 898-1).

2 Torque required to tighten the bolt


The total torque required to tighten the bolt is a sum of the friction torque in threads and
torque between the head or nut and the surface (fig. 2-1). The friction torque MK between the
nut and the surface is
M K = 12 µ K Dkm FM (2-1)
Machine Elements/SK 16

where µK is the friction coefficient between the nut (or head) and the surface
Dkm = (dK+DK)/2 the mean diameter (location of friction force)
dK the outside diameter of the nut (or head) ≈ width across flats s (wrench opening)
DK the diameter of the hole.

The friction coefficient between the nut (or head) and the surface is µK ≈ 0,08...0,22 depend-
ing on the material, surface treatment and lubrication. The friction coefficient of stainless
steels (between the nut (or head) and the surface or in threads) can be even 0,5.

The total torque required to tighten the bolt is

MA = MG + MK = FM ⎜1,155µG d 2 + µ K Dkm + ⎟ (2-2)

Fig. 2-1. Bolt tightening using wrench.

The preload FM depends on friction coefficients and torque. With hand tools only bolts M10
(10.9) and M12 (8.8) are tightened properly (preload of small bolts is usually too high and
preload of big bolts is too small) /1/.

Welded connections
Stresses in fillet weld
The stresses of the fillet weld are calculated for the minimum cross section A = al (a is the
throat thickness (height of the cross section area) and l is the length of the weld). The mini-
mum cross section area is located at 45° to the legs. The stresses of the area are divided into
three components (fig. 1).

Simple calculation method


In the simple calculation method the equation for the stress of the weld σw is regardless of the
direction of the load
F
σw = (1)
al

The resistance of the weld is sufficient if (SFS 2373)


ReL σ
σ w ≤ σ wsall (SFS 2373: σ sall = , σ wsall = sall ) (2)

The calculation method is valid when 3 mm ≤ a ≤ 15 mm (SFS 2373). The length of the weld
has also limitations.

Interference fits
A press fit is obtained by machining the hole in the hub to a slightly smaller diameter than
that of the shaft. Only relative small parts can be press-fitted. For large parts a shrink fit can
be made by heating the hub to expand its inside diameter.

Spring design
1 Helical extension and compression springs
Common forms of helical springs are in fig. 1. For springs with end treatments the total num-
ber of coils nt is bigger than the number of active coils n. Other forms are possible such as
conical helical compression springs. If the place for a spring is small it is possible to put sev-
eral helical springs within each other.

Fig. 1. Helical compression springs (a) and extension spring (b).

The force of a helical spring is

where G is the shear modulus of elasticity


d the wire diameter

The modulus of elasticity E and G (in shear) for rubber depends on the durometer hardness
number (e.g. IRHD). Dynamically loaded rubber springs have higher stiffness than statically
loaded. A cylindrical rubber spring is frequently used as a compression spring (fig. 5).

Lubrication and lubricant classification


1 Lubrication mechanisms
In fluid film lubrication the rubbing surfaces are completely separated by a thick film of lubri-
cant. Fluid films are formed in three ways: hydrodynamic, elastohydrodynamic or hydrostatic
film (fig. 1). In elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHD) the viscosity of lubricant increases, as
the pressure on an oil increases and elastic deformation of two surfaces occurs due to the
pressure of lubricant.

Machine Elements/SK 34

The relationship between the roughnesses of the surfaces and the film thickness is important.
The film thickness increases as the speed is increased, the lubricant viscosity is increased, the
load is decreased, or the geometric conformity of the mating surfaces is improved. Boundary
lubrication occurs when speeds are low or applied loads are very high. For this type of lubri-
cation EP-additives are required to prevent welding of the contact and adhesive wear.

Design of pressure vessels


1 Pressure equipment directive
Directive 97/23/EC applies to the design, manufacture and conformity assessment of pressure
equipment and assemblies with a maximum allowable pressure PS greater than 0,5 bar.

Pressure equipment means vessels, piping, safety accessories and pressure accessories. Where
applicable, pressure equipment includes elements attached to pressurized parts, such as
flanges, nozzles, couplings, supports, lifting lugs, etc.

Vessel means a housing designed and built to contain fluids under pressure including its direct
attachments up to the coupling point connecting it to other equipment.

Piping means piping components intended for the transport of fluids, when connected to-
gether for integration into a pressure system. Piping includes in particular a pipe or system of
pipes, tubing, fittings, expansion joints, hoses, or other pressure-bearing components as ap-
propriate.

The pressure equipment must satisfy the essential requirements. Pressure equipment must be
designed, manufactured and checked, and if applicable equipped and installed, in such a way
as to ensure its safety when put into service in accordance with the manufacturer's instruc-
tions, or in reasonably foreseeable conditions.

2 Nominal design stress


The maximum allowed value of the nominal design stress is (other than austenitic steels, A <
30 %)
⎛ Rp0,2 / t Rm / 20 ⎞
f d = min⎜⎜ ; ⎟ (1)
⎝ 1,5 2,4 ⎟⎠

where Rp0,2/t is the 0,2 % proof strength at temperature t (yield strength ReH may be used in
lieu of Rp0,2) and Rm/20 is the tensile strength at temperature 20 °C. For testing category 4 the
nominal stress shall be multiplied by 0,9. Numbers 1,5 and 2,4 are safety factors. Equations
for austenitic steels are in standard SFS-EN 13445-3.

Mechanical properties of steels for pressure purposes at elevated temperatures is given in table 2.

3 Cylindrical and spherical shells


The required thickness of cylindrical shells shall be calculated from the equation (SFS-EN
13445-3 /3/)

pDi
e= (2)
2 fz − p

where p is the calculation pressure, Di the inside diameter of the pressure vessel, the design
stress f ≤ fd and z the weld joint coefficient. The weld joint coefficient is related to the testing
group (z = 1; 0,85 or 0,7).
