Q. 10.4
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
Step-by-Step
Verified Solution
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}.
