Design of Machine Element Problems

This document contains sample problems from the Design of Machine Elements course at Dr. Mahalingam College of Engineering and Technology. The problems cover design considerations for static loads, fluctuating loads, and impact loads. Example problems include determining the thickness of a steel bracket under static load, dimensions of a C-clamp frame, maximum torque on a bending shaft, cross section of a cantilever beam, diameter of a bar under cyclic loading, diameter of a rod under variable axial load, and factor of safety for a stepped rotating shaft. The document provides material properties and loading conditions for solving each design problem.

TQA - 1
Unit I Design for static load or Steady Stresses
CO.1 Design the machine elements subjected to simple and combined static loads
1. Determine the thickness of the steel bracket loaded as shown in fig. taking allowable
stress as 90 Mpa

2. Determine the dimensions of the rectangular cross section whose depth is twice the
width for a C –clamp frame of cast iron and loaded as shown in fig. the ultimate
compression stress for C.I used for frame is 125.6Mpa. Take e = 100 mm and factor
of safety as 4.

3. A mild steel shaft of 50 mm diameter is subjected to a bending moment of 2000 N-m


and a torque T. If the yield stress of the steel in tension is 200 MPa, find the
maximum value of this torque without causing yielding of the shaft according to a)
The maximum principal stress theory b) The maximum shear stress theory, and c)
The maximum distortion energy theory.

4. An electric motor weighing 500N is mounted on a short cantilever beam of uniform


rectangular cross section. The weight of the motor acts at a distance of 300mm from
the support. The depth of the section is twice the width. Determine the cross section
of the beam. The allowable stress in the beam is 40 N/mm 2.

Unit II : Design for Fluctuating and Impact loads


CO. 2 Design the machine elements against fluctuating loads and impact loads

1. A circular bar of 500 mm length is supported freely at its two ends. It is acted upon by
a central concentrated cyclic load having a minimum value of 20 kN and a maximum
value of 50 kN. Determine the diameter of bar by taking a factor of safety of 1.5, size
effect of 0.85, surface finish factor of 0.9. The material properties of the bar: ultimate
strength of 650 MPa, yield strength of 500 MPa and endurance strength of 350 MPa.

2. A circular rod made of ductile material has endurance strength of 280 N/mm2 and
ultimate strength of 350 N/mm2. The member is subjected to a variable axial load
varying from + 70 kN (tensile) to – 300 kN (Compressive). Take fatigue stress
concentration factor as 1.8 and factor of safety as 2.0. Find a suitable diameter of the
rod.

3. A rotating shaft of 38-mm is made of forged 40C8 steel (S ut = 550 MPa, Syt = 400
MPa). The shaft is stepped down to 32-mm, diameter and is subjected to a bending
moment (maximum 150 N-m, minimum 50 N-m) at the step. Determine factor of
safety for 99% reliability and machined surface finish. Fillet radius at the step = 2 mm.
