Question
The rotating solid steel shaft is simply supported by bearings at points B and C
and is driven by a gear (not shown) which meshes with the spur gear at D, which
250 mm
has a 150 mm pitch diameter. The force F from the drive gear acts at a pressure
angle of 20°. The shaft transmits a torque to point A of T = 340 N. m. The shaft
100 mm
is machined from steel with S, = 420 MPa. Using a factor of safety of 2.5,
determine the minimum allowable diameter of the 250 mm section of the shaft
based on a static yield analysis using the distortion energy theory and maximum
shear stress theory.
