PROBLEM \( 3.78 \)
The shaft-disk-belt arrangement shown is used to transmit \( 2 \mathrm{~kW} \) from point \( A \) to point \( D \). (a) Using an allowable shearing stress of \( 66 \mathrm{MPa} \), determine the required speed of shaft \( A B \). (b) Solve Part \( a \), assuming that the diameters of shafts \( A B \) and \( C D \) are, respectively, \( 18 \mathrm{~mm} \) and \( 15 \mathrm{~mm} \).
SOLUTION
\[
\begin{aligned}
\tau & =66 \mathrm{MPa}, \quad P=2 \mathrm{~kW} / \mathrm{s} \\
\tau & =\frac{T c}{J}=\frac{2 T}{\pi c^{3}} \quad T=\frac{\pi}{2} c^{3} \tau
\end{aligned}
\]
Allowable torques
\( 16 \mathrm{~mm} \) diameter shaft \( \quad c=8 \mathrm{~mm}, \quad T_{\text {all }}=\frac{\pi}{2}(0.008)^{3}\left(66 \cdot 10^{6}\right)=53 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m} \)
\( 18 \mathrm{~mm} \) diameter shaft \( \quad c=9 \mathrm{~mm}, \quad T_{\text {all }}=\frac{\pi}{2}(0.009)^{3}\left(66 \cdot 10^{6}\right)=75.6 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m} \)
Statics:
(a) Allowable torques \( \quad T_{B, \text { all }}=53 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m}, T_{C, \text { all }}=75.6 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m} \)
Assume
Then
\[
\begin{aligned}
T_{C}=75.6 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m} & \\
T_{B}=(0.2727)(75.6) & =20.6 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m} \\
& <53 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m} \quad \text { (okay) } \\
P & =2 \pi F T \quad f_{A B}=\frac{P}{2 \pi T_{B}}=\frac{2000}{2 \pi(20.6)} \quad f_{A B}=15.45 \mathrm{~Hz}
\end{aligned}
\]
(b) Allowable torques
Assume
Then
\[
\begin{array}{l}
T_{B, \text { all }}=75.6 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m}, \quad T_{C, \text { all }}=53 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m} \\
T_{C}=53 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m} \\
T_{B}=(0.2727)(53)=14.5 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m} \\
<75.6 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m} \\
P=2 \pi F T \quad f_{A B}=\frac{P}{2 \pi T_{B}}=\frac{2000}{2 \pi(14.5)} \\
f_{A B}=21.95 \mathrm{~Hz} \\
\end{array}
