Estimate the factor of safety guarding against fatigue and static failures using the Gerber and Langer failure criteria for the following loading conditions: a. The shaft is subjected to a completely reversed torque of 120 N.m in phase with a completely reversed bending moment of 150 N.m. b. The shaft is subjected to a pulsating torque fluctuating from 20 to 160 N.m and as steady bending moment of 150 N.m.arrow_forwardThe figure shows a shaft mounted in bearings at A and D and having pulleys at B and C.
