Tutorial Problem:
On the shaft made of AISI-1015 CD Steel shown in the figure, a load P = 1.2i+1.6j+1.5k kN is
acting at the free end. In addition, there is a torque of 10 kN-mm acting at the free end. The shaft
has a length of 0.2 m. The uncertainty in the mechanical properties is 24% and that in the loading
measurement is 15%. Find the safe diameter of the shaft according the Maximum Shear Stress
criterion. Is your recommended diameter purchasable in the market? If not provide a corrected the
diameter that is purchasable. Use the Appendix-A of the textbook for mechanical properties.
Similarly try the other two pairs of principal stresses A & C, and B & C.
Second Pair: A & C.
|(A-C)| = Syt/nd
x’x’/2+sqrt[(x’x’/2)^2+(x’y’)^2] = 320/1.51
(1528/D^2+4.5*10^6/D^3)/2+sqrt[{(1528/D^2+4.5*10^6/D^3)/2}^2+{5.1*10^4/D^3}^2]
= 320/1.51 = 212.
Substitute the D = 28 mm in the LHS. We get 207 MPa which is < 212 MPa. Therefore D = 28 mm
upholds.
