Problem 4

The shaft shown in the figure has a gear at B with a force of 2098 N in -y and 6456 N in +z applied at its tip. The force along z produces a torque that drives the component attached at C, which produces an equal and opposite torque to that produced at the gear as well as forces on the shaft of 6000 N along +y and +z. The bearing at A can be considered a spherical hinge, whereas the bearing at D can be considered a planar hinge in the y-z plane.

(b) Draw bending moment and torsion diagrams for the shaft and show diagrams of the cross-section of the shaft where the critical points occur, i.e., the locations where the maximum normal stresses due to bending and maximum shear stress due to torsion coincide. Indicate the internal reactions (bending and torsion moments) in this diagram, as well as the locations of the critical points.

(b) If the diameter of the shaft is 33 mm, find the stresses at the critical point and use them to find the maximum shear stress at that location as well as the maximum and minimum principal stresses. Note: the bending normal stress can be taken as σ_x, while the torsion shear stress can be assumed to be τ_xy for the effects of this calculation, all other stresses can be assumed to be zero.

(c) It is known that the material of the shaft is such that it will fail if the maximum shear stress reaches 300 MPa. Is the shaft safe? If so, calculate the factor of safety.

Problem 1

The shaft with a circular cross-section is supported by two bearings at O and C. The bearings do not exert any moments or axial force on the shaft, and they act to constrain motion along the $x$ and $y$ axes. Find the minimum diameter required for the shaft if the maximum normal stress in the shaft cannot exceed $250~ \text{MPa}$ . All dimensions are in $\text{mm}$ .

Problem 2

The beam $ABCD$ shown in the figure is simply supported at $A$ and $D$ , and has a circular cross-section with a diameter of $80~\text{mm}$ . The distributed force acts at an angle of $60^\circ$ to the $Z$ axis and has components only along the $Z$ and $X$ axis. The $1.2~\text{kN}$ force acts parallel to the $Z$ axis and the $1.5~\text{kN}$ force acts parallel the $X$ axis. $AB = 0.6~ \text{m}$ , $BC = 0.4~ \text{m}$ and $CD = 1~ \text{m}$ .

(a) Draw shear force and bending moment diagrams for the $XY$ and $YZ$ planes.

(b) Determine the maximum tensile and compressive bending stress in the beam and show their locations on the cross-section of the beam.

Problem 3

The following steel structure will be made with a round bar $35~\text{mm}$ in diameter, such that section $A-C$ is parallel to the $y$ -axis and section $B-E$ is parallel to $x$ -axis.

An unknown moment $T$ parallel to $y$ is applied at point $A$ , where there is also a spherical (ball) hinge, which constraints translations along $x$ , $y$ , and $z$ axes. The plane hinge at $C$ is contained in the $x-z$ plane, which means that it constrains translations along the $x$ and $z$ axes. The force of $1000~\text{N}$ at $D$ goes in $-z$ , the force of $500~\text{N}$ at $D$ goes in $-y$ and the force of $500~\text{N}$ at $E$ goes in $-x$ . Given these conditions and the coordinate system provided, find:

(a) Diagrams of axial force, bending moment, and torsion moments for sections $A-C$ and $B-E$ . Use the given coordinate system to label the planes where you are making your internal reaction diagrams ( $x-y$ , $x-z$ or $z-y$ ) and draw the corresponding axes.

(b) Calculate the maximum normal stress due to bending in this structure. Show in a diagram the point(s) in the cross-section of the structure where this stress occurs, and include the bending moments in each axis, the resultant moment, and the neutral axis. Use the given coordinate system to show the orientation of your diagram.

(c) Calculate the maximum shear stress due to torsion in this structure. Show in a diagram the point(s) in the cross-section of the structure where this stress occurs, including the torsion moment. Use the given coordinate system to show the orientation of your diagram.
