Assignment 3

The document discusses questions related to fatigue analysis and design of machine components subjected to fluctuating loads. Question 1 asks to calculate the diameter of a circular shaft made of steel subjected to alternating torsional moments to achieve infinite life. Question 2 asks to determine the factor of safety for a shaft subjected to torsional and axial stresses that vary with shaft speed. Question 3 asks to calculate the factor of safety for a bar subjected to mean and alternating bending and torsional stresses. The document also includes 5 multiple choice questions related to fatigue failure criteria, stress concentration factors, and S-N diagrams.

ASSIGNMENT 3
Qu.1: A solid circular shaft made of steel Fe 620 (Sut = 620 N/mm2 and Syt = 380 N/mm2)
is subjected to an alternating torsional moment, which varies from –200 N-m to + 400 N-m. The
shaft is ground and the expected reliability is 90%. Neglecting stress concentration,
calculate the shaft diameter for infi nite life. The factor of safety is 2. Use the distortion-
energy theory of failure. [29.31 mm]
Qu.2 : A solid circular shaft, 15 mm in diameter, is subjected to torsional shear stress, which
varies from 0 to 35 N/mm2 and at the same time, is subjected to an axial stress that varies
from –15 to +30 N/mm2. The frequency of variation of these stresses is equal to the shaft
speed. The shaft is made of steel FeE 400 (Sut= 540 N/mm2 and Syt = 400 N/mm2) and the
corrected endurance limit of the shaft is 200 N/mm2. Deter mine the factor of safety.[4.05]
Qu.3: A bar of steel has an ultimate tensile strength of 700 MPa, a yield point stress of 400 MPa and
fully corrected endurance limit (Se) of 220 MPa. The bar is subjected to a mean bending
stress of 60 MPa and a stress amplitude of 80 MPa. Superimposed on it is a mean
torsional stress and torsional stress amplitude of 70 and 35 MPa respectively. Find the
factor of safety. [1.54]
