A Propeller Shaft As Shown Is To Receive 300 HP at 315 RPM From The Right Through A Flexible Coupling

1) The shaft must be able to transmit 300 hp at 315 rpm, withstand a belt pull of 1250 lbs, and transfer 3630 lbs of thrust load. 2) Calculations determine the maximum bending moment is 16,666.66 in-lbs and shear stress is 2881.866 psi. 3) Using the octahedral shear theory and a material of cold-worked stainless 410, the minimum required shaft diameter is calculated to be 2.6 inches.

A propeller shaft as shown is to receive 300 hp at 315 rpm from the right through a
flexible coupling. A 16-in. pulley is used to drive an auxiliary, taking 25 hp. The belt pull
FB is vertically upward. The remainder of the power is delivered to a propeller that is
expected to convert 60% of it into work driving the boat, at which time the boat speed is
1500 fpm. The thrust is to be taken by the right-handbearing. Let N = 2; material cold-
worked stainless 410. Use the octahedral shear theory with varying stresses. (a)
Determine the shaft size needed assuming no buckling. (b) Compute the equivalent
column stress. Is this different enough to call for another shaft size?
