6. Design a clamp coupling to transmit 30 kW at 100 r.p.m. The allowable shear stress for
the shaft and key is 40 MPa and the number of bolts connecting the two halves are six.
The permissible tensile stress for the bolts is 70 MPa. The coefficient of friction
between the muff and the shaft surface may be taken as 0.3. Sketch the coupling. [15]
7.a) Find the efficiency of a lap joint of 6 mm plates with 20 mm diameter rivets having a
pitch of 55 mm. Assume the permissible tensile stress in the plate material is 120 MPa,
jn
permissible shear stress is 90 MPa, and the permissible crushing stress is 180 MPa.
b) What are the methods of preventing loosening of threads between the nut and the
screw? [7+8]

8.a) Compare the strength and stiffness of a hollow shaft of same outside diameter as that of
h
a solid shaft.
b) Explain the procedure to determine the endurance limit of a material. Also plot the S-N
curve for steel and aluminum. [7+8]
