A semi-circular groove of radius 3 mm is machined in a 50 mm diameter shaft which is then subjected to the following combined loading system:
(a) a direct tensile load of 50 kN,
(b) a bending moment of 150 Nm,
(c) a torque of 320 Nm.
Determine the maximum value of the stress produced by each loading separately and hence estimate the likely maximum stress value under the combined loading

For the shaft dimensions given, D/d = 50/(50 – 6) = 1.14 and r/d = 3/44 = 0.068
(a) For tensile load
Nominal stress σ_{nom}=\frac{P}{A} =\frac{50\times 10^{3}}{\pi \times (22\times 10^{-3})^{2}} =32.9 MN/m^{2}
From Fig. 10.23 K_{t}=2.51
Maximum stress = 2.51 × 32.9 = 82.6 MN/m^{2}
(b) For bending
Nominal stress σ_{nom}=\frac{32M}{\pi d^{3}} =\frac{32\times 150}{\pi \times (44\times 10^{-3})^{3}} =18 MN/m^{2}
and from Fig. 10.24 K_{t}=2.24
Maximum stress Maximum stress = 2.24 × 18 = 40.3 MN/m^{2}
(c) For torsion
Nominal stress τ_{nom }=\frac{16 T}{\pi d^{3}} =\frac{16\times 320}{\pi \times (44\times 10^{-3})^{3}} =19.1 MN/m^{2}
and from Fig. 10.25 Kt_{s}=1.65
Maximum stress = 1.65 × 19.1 = 31.5 MN/m^{ 2}
(d) For the combined loading the direct stresses due to bending and tension add to give a total maximum direct stress of 82.6 + 40.3 = 122.9 MN/m^{2} which will then act in conjunction with the shear stress of 3 1.5 MN/m^{2} as shown on the element of Fig. 10.49.
Then either by Mohrs circle or the use of eqn. (13.11)^{†} the maximum principal stress will be
σ_{1} = 130.5 MN/m^{2}.
With a maximum shear stress of τ_{max}= 69 MN/m^{2}.
