Let us show the free-body diagram of the member in Figure 11.29. For equilibrium
\left(M_x \hat{i}+M_y \hat{j}+M_z \hat{k}\right)+(150 \hat{i}+200 \hat{j}) \times(600 \hat{i}+1500 \hat{k})=\overrightarrow{0}
\left(M_x \hat{i}+M_y \hat{j}+M_z \hat{k}\right)+(-225000 \hat{j}-120000 \hat{k}+300000 \hat{i})=\overrightarrow{0}
Therefore, we get
M_x=-3,00,000 Nmm , \quad M_y=2,25,000 Nmm \quad \text { and } \quad M_z=+1,20,000 Nmm
Ignoring stress caused due to 1500 N load, we get resultant bending moment as
M=\sqrt{M_y^2+M_z^2}
or M=\sqrt{225^2+120^2} \times 10^3 N mm =255 \times 10^3 N mm
and torsional moment T = M_x = 300 × 10³ N mm. Therefore, the resultant normal stress on the section is sum of stress due to bending and stress due to force Q
\sigma_n=\frac{4 Q}{\pi d^2}+\frac{32 M}{\pi d^3}
=\frac{(4)(600)}{\pi(20)^2}+\frac{(32)(255)\left(10^3\right)}{\pi(20)^3} MPa
= 326.59 MPa
and the shear stress on the shaft is
\tau=\frac{16 T}{\pi d^3}=\frac{(16)(300)\left(10^3\right)}{\pi(20)^3} N / mm ^2
= 190.99 MPa
According to the maximum shear stress criterion of failure by yielding, we get
\tau_{\max }=\tau_{ yp }=\frac{\sigma_{ yp }}{2}
Therefore,
\sigma_{ yp }=2 \tau_{\max }=2 \sqrt{\left\lgroup \frac{\sigma_n}{2} \right\rgroup^2}+\tau^2
=\sqrt{\sigma_n^2+4 \tau^2}
=\sqrt{(326.59)^2+(4)(190.99)^2} MPa
= 502.56 MPa
So, the required yield stress for the material is 502.56 MPa.
