Question

PROBLEM-1 (Shaft) The figure below shows the forces acting on a shaft carrying a pulley and two gears, which are keyed with a profile keyseat to the shaft at C, B and E. The shaft is supported by unkeyed journal bearings at A and D. The shaft material is hot-rolled AISI 1137. The desired reliability is 0.999 with safety factor $n_d$ = 1.5. (Ignore pulley's and gears' weights) a) Calculate the external torques at C, B and E, and determine the internal torques at sections AB, BC, and CE. [4 marks] b) Calculate the forces $F_{rB}$, and $F_{rE}$ [2 marks] c) Sketch the free body diagram showing all forces in zy-plane and zx-plane. Determine the support reactions, and draw each force and bending moment diagrams. [8 marks] d) Determine the resultant bending moment at sections A, B, C, D, and E. [2 marks] e) Using Distortion energy method, determine the necessary shaft diameter at sections A, B, C, and D; $d_A$, $d_B$, $d_C$, and $d_D$. [4 marks] Total: 20 marks
