PROBLEM \( 3.85 \) \( 150 \mathrm{~mm} \) The stepped shaft shown rotates at \( 450 \mathrm{rpm} \). Knowing that \( r=5 \mathrm{~mm} \), determine the maximum power that can be transmitted without exceeding an allowable shearing stress of \( 50 \mathrm{MPa} \). SOLUTION \[ \begin{aligned} d & =125 \mathrm{~mm} \quad D=150 \mathrm{~mm} \quad r=5 \mathrm{~mm} \\ \frac{D}{d} & =\frac{150}{125}=1.20 \quad \frac{r}{d}=\frac{5}{125}=0.04 \end{aligned} \] From Fig. \( 3.32 \) \[ K=1.55 \] For smaller side \[ \begin{aligned} c & =\frac{1}{2} d=62.5 \mathrm{~mm} \quad \tau=\frac{K T c}{J}=\frac{2 K T}{\pi c^{3}} \\ T & =\frac{\pi c^{3} \tau}{2 K}=\frac{\pi(0.0625)^{3}\left(50 \cdot 10^{6}\right)}{(2)(1.55)}=12.4 \mathrm{kN} \cdot \mathrm{m} \\ f & =450 \mathrm{rpm}=7.5 \mathrm{~Hz} \end{aligned} \] Power \[ P=2 \pi f T=2 \pi(7.5)\left(12.4 \cdot 10^{3}\right)=584 \mathrm{~kW} \] \[ P=584 \mathrm{~kW} \]

The shaft is made of $\mathrm{A} 992$ steel with the allowable shear stress of $\tau_{\text {allow }}=75$ MPa. If gear $B$ supplies $15 \mathrm{kW}$ of power, while gears $A, C$ and $D$ withdraw $6 \mathrm{kW}, 4 \mathrm{kW}$ and $5 \mathrm{kW}$, respectively, determine the required minimum diameter $d$ of the shaft to the nearest millimeter. Also, find the corresponding angle of twist of gear $A$ relative to gear $D$. The shaft is rotating at 600 rpm.
Gear $B$ supplies $15 \mathrm{kW}$ of power, while gears $A, C$ and $D$ withdraw $6 \mathrm{kW}, 4 \mathrm{kW}$ and $5 \mathrm{kW}$, respectively. If the shaft is made of steel with the allowable shear stress of $\tau_{\text {allow }}=75 \mathrm{MPa},$ and the relative angle of twist between any two gears cannot exceed 0.05 rad, determine the required minimum diameter $d$ of the shaft to the nearest millimeter. The shaft is rotating at 600 rpm.
The built-up shaft is designed to rotate at 450 rpm. If the radius of the fillet weld connecting the shafts is $r=13.2 \mathrm{mm},$ and the allowable shear stress for the material is $\tau_{\text {allow }}=150 \mathrm{MPa},$ determine the maximum power the shaft can transmit.
