Design of Machine Elements Lab 6

The document outlines the design requirements for a shaft in a mechanical engineering lab, specifying a minimum safety factor of 2.4 while transmitting 2.5 hp at 1800 rpm. It includes detailed design steps for calculating torque, forces, bending moments, and required shaft diameter, along with considerations for stress-concentration factors and deflection limits. Bonus points are offered for achieving specific deflection criteria in the design.

1. Design a shaft to support the attachments shown in figure with a minimum design
safety factor of 2.4. It must transmit 2.5 hp at 1800 rpm. The torque and the
moment on the shaft are both varying with time in repeated fashion, i.e., their
alternating and mean components are of equal magnitude. The spur gear has a
14.50 pressure angle as shown in the figure. Consider that the gear and sheave
forces to be concentrated at their centers. Assume a stress-concentration factor of
3.4 for the step radii in bending, 2 for step radii in torsion, and 4 at the keyways.
Bonus points: Design the same shaft to have a maximum bending deflection of 0.050
mm and a maximum angular deflection of 0.40 between the sheave and gear.

all are in mm
Design steps
Step 1 Determine the transmitted torque from the given power and angular velocity
(refer design data book)
Hint: This torque exists only over the portion of shaft between the sheave and the gear.
Step 2 Calculate the tangential forces on sheave and gear from the torque and their
respective radii.
Assume, the ratio between the force F1 on the tight side and F2 on the “slack”
side of the V-belt to be about 5. The net force associated with the driving torque is
Fn = F1 − F2 , but the force that bends the shaft is Fs = F1 + F2 .
T
Fn = (1)
r
Hint: Fn and Fs will only act along x-axis.
The tangential force at the spur-gear tooth is:
T
Fgtangential = (2)
r
Hint: There will also be a radial component of force at the gear tooth, Fgradial
Step 3 Calculate the bending moment acting on the shaft:
Hint (using singularity function):

M = R1 ⟨z − 0⟩1 + Fg ⟨z − 50⟩1 + R2 ⟨z − 130⟩1 + Fs ⟨z − 170⟩1 (3)

Calculate the values of the loads and reaction forces for each coordinate direction
and combine the moment-function components in the xz and yz planes (using the
Pythagorean theorem) to find the maximum magnitude of the moment function.
Step 4 Calculate the corrected endurance strength:
Size effect: Since the exact size is not known initially, assume CG = 1 and later
adjust if needed.
Step 5 Calculate the fatigue stress-concentration factor, Kf for bending and torsion
respectively using,
Kf = 1 + q (Kt − 1) (4)
where Kt is the theoretical (static) stress-concentration factor and Kf is the fatigue
(dynamic) stress-concentration factor. The notch sensitivity, q varies between 0 and 1.
Assume a suitable notch radius, r and get the values of q’s for bending and torsion,
respectively.
Step 6 Calculate the required shaft diameter

For example, using von Mises stress in the modified-Goodman criteria shaft diameter
can be calculated as,
 q q 1/3

Here, suffixes m and a stand for mean and alternating component.


Hint: There are four step diameters, d0 (stock size), d1 ,d2 , and d3 which need to be
calculated.
