Tutorial – 2 [Variable loading and Fatigue failure]

Q1. A rotating shaft, subjected to a non-rotating force of


5 kN and simply supported between two bearings A and
E is shown in Figure. The shaft is machined from plain
carbon steel 30C8 (Sut = 500 N/mm2) and the expected
reliability is 90%. The equivalent notch radius at the
fillet section can be taken as 3 mm. What is the life of
the shaft?

Q2. A cantilever beam made of cold drawn steel 20C8 (Sut = 540
N/mm2) is subjected to a completely reversed load of 1000 N as
shown in Figure. The notch sensitivity factor q at the fillet can be
taken as 0.85 and the expected reliability is 90%. Determine the
diameter d of the beam for a life of 10000 cycles.

Q3. A polished steel bar is subjected to axial tensile force that


varies from zero to Pmax. It has a groove 2 mm deep and having a
radius of 3 mm. The theoretical stress concentration factor and
notch sensitivity factor at the groove are 1.8 and 0.95
respectively. The outer diameter of the bar is 30 mm. The
ultimate tensile strength of the bar is 1250 MPa. The endurance
limit in reversed bending is 600 MPa. Find the maximum force
that the bar can carry for 105 cycles with 90% reliability.

Q4. A cantilever beam made of cold drawn steel


4OC8 (Sut = 600 N/mm2 and Syt = 380 N/mm2) is
shown in Figure. The force P acting at the free end
varies from –50 N to +150 N. The expected reliability
is 90% and the factor of safety is 2. The notch
sensitivity factor at the fillet is 0.9. Determine the
diameter ‘d’ of the beam at the fillet cross-section.

Q5. A transmission shaft of cold drawn steel 27Mn2 (Sut = 500 N/mm2 and Syt = 300 N/mm2) is subjected
to a fluctuating torque which varies from –100 N-m to + 400 N-m. The factor of safety is 2 and the
expected reliability is 90%. Neglecting the effect of stress concentration, determine the diameter of the
shaft. Assume the distortion energy theory of failure.

Q6. A transmission shaft carries a pulley midway between the two bearings. The bending moment at the
pulley varies from 200 N-m to 600 N-m, as the torsional moment in the shaft varies from 70 N-m to 200
N-m. The frequencies of variation of bending and torsional moments are equal to the shaft speed. The
shaft is made of steel FeE 400 (Sut = 540 N/mm2 and Syt = 400 N/mm2). The corrected endurance limit of
the shaft is 200 N/mm2. Determine the diameter of the shaft using a factor of safety of 2.
