Problem 6-10: A rotating shaft of 25-mm diameter is simply supported by bearing reaction forces R and R. The shaft is loaded with a transverse load of 13 kN as shown in the figure. The shaft is made from AISI 1045 machine finished steel whose strengths are σr = 570 MPa and σs = 310 MPa. The surface has been machined. Determine:
a) The minimum static factor of safety based on yielding.
b) The endurance limit, adjusted by factors discussed in class. (Hint: Do not consider temperature and reliability factors because the information about temperature and reliability is not given.)
c) The maximum stress amplitude.
d) If the fatigue factor of safety is less than 1 (hint: it should be for this problem), then estimate the life of the part in number of rotations.
Problem 6-10: Not to scale
Ans: σy = 0.98, σe = 192 MPa, n = 0.6, N = 25000 cycles
Hint: Use Fig. 6-23, f = 0.87
If you use Eq. 6-11, f = 0.875, and N will be slightly different.
