MECH325 - Homework Hints, Answers, and Extra Requirements

Homework 6 (Chapters 7 and 8)


TO ENHANCE YOUR LEARNING, PLEASE TRY TO WORK THE PROBLEMS FIRST WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE HINTS AND ANSWERS BELOW.

MAKE SURE YOU SATISFY ALL REQUIREMENTS LISTED BELOW AND IN THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM STATEMENTS (UNLESS INDICATED OTHERWISE BELOW).

NOTE - BECAUSE MOST ANSWERS ARE PROVIDED, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU SHOW ALL STEPS IN YOUR WORK.  THE GRADING WILL BE BASED ON THE COMPLETENESS, CLARITY, AND CORRECTNESS OF YOUR WORK, NOT JUST THE ANSWERS YOU PROVIDE.


7.8
[15 pts]
  • total maximum elongation (including static deflection) = 2.44 in
  • maximum tensile stress = 34.8 ksi
8.23
[35 pts]
  • Assume CT = CR = 1 (i.e., neglect temperature and reliability effects).
  • CS = 0.74
  • assume a nominal CG(axial) of 0.8 for small diameters (< 2 in)
  • be sure to use the appropriate 103-cycle strengths from Table 8.1
  • be sure to comply with note c in Table 8.1
  • Sn(bending) = 36.6 ksi;  Sn(axial) = 32.6 ksi  Sn(torsion) = 21.2 ksi
  • draw a log-log S-N curve for each loading case
  • use logarithmic interpolation to calculate S(6x104)
  • S(6x104, bending) = 55 ksi
  • S(6x104, axial) = 48 ksi
  • S(6x104, torsion) = 36 ksi
8.32
[30 pts]
  • Change "Figure 4.39" to "Figure 4.36" in the problem statement.
  • Assume CT = CR = 1 (i.e., neglect temperature and reliability effects).
  • Kt = 1.63;  q = 0.79;  CS = 0.86  (explain where these numbers come from)
  • assume the average surface finish at the point of highest stress is between "machined" and "commercial polish," but closer to "commercial polish"
  • assume:  S'n= 0.5Su;   Su (in ksi) = 0.5 * BHN;   Sus = 0.8Su;   Sys = 0.58Sy   
    (see pp. 88, 247, 295, 300)
  • apply the safety factor to the allowable torque and use a load line, or use the Goodman relation directly to find the allowable torques
  • construct a constant (infinite) life τa vs. τm diagram
  • reversed torsion: Tmax = 1320 in*lb
  • for steady torque T with alternating torque 2T (note: τam= 2), Tmax = 580 in*lb
8.33
[20 pts]
  • Assume CT = CR = 1 (i.e., neglect temperature and reliability effects).
  • assume linear elastic response (F = kΔ)
  • assume S'n = 100 ksi (approximation from Fig. 8.6)
  • use CS = 0.54
  • use q = 1
  • see p. 302 concerning the gradient factor
  • justify the values used (including those listed above)
  • plot an infinite life Σam diagram to determine if the load state will result in failure
  • ans:  the load state is close to (just above) the failure threshold
