Determine the thickness of a 120mm wide uniform plate for safe continuous operation if the plate is to be subjected to a tensile load that has a maximum value of 250 kN and a minimum value of 100 kN. The properties of the plate material are as follows: Endurance limits stress=225 MPa, and yield point stress=300 MPa. The factor of safety based on yield point may be taken as 1.5. 2. A steel member is subjected to a 3 dimensional stress system and the resulting principal stresses are 120 N/mm2 tension, 80 N/mm2 and 40 N/mm2 compression. If the proportional limit of the material in simple tension is 280 N/mm2 and its poison's ratio is 0.3 determine the factor of safety according to a) Maximum principal stress theory b) Maximum principal strain theory and c) Maximum shear stress theory. 3. A hollow shaft is required to transmit 600 kW at 110 r.p.m, the maximum torque being 20 % greater than the mean. The shear stress is not to exceed 63 Mpa and twist in a length of 3 meters not to exceed 1.4 degrees. Find the extermal diameter of the shaft, if the internal diameter to the external diameter is 3/8. Take modulus of rigidity as 84 GPa. 4. Two rods, made of plain carbon steel 40C8 (Syt=380N/mm2) are connected by means of a cotter joint. The diameter of each rod is 50 mm and the cotter is made from a steel plate of 15 mm thickness. Calculate the dimensions of the socket end making the following assumptions: 1) The yield strength in compression is twice of the tensile yield strength; and 2) The yield strength in shear is 50% of the tensile yield strength. The factor of safety is 6. 5. A shaft made of mild steel is required to transmit 100 KW at 300 r.p.m. The supported length of the shaft is 3 meters. It carries two pulleys each weighing 1500 N supported at a distance of 1 metre from the ends respectively. Assuming the safe value of stress, determine the diameter of the shaft. 6. Design a hollow shaft to transmit 25 hp at 300 rpm. The loading is such that the maximum bending moment is 1000Nm the maximum torsional moment is 500 Nm and axial thrust is 15 kN. The shaft is supported on rigid bearings 1500 mm apart. The inside diameter of the shaft is 0.8 times the outside diameter. The load is cyclic in nature and applied with shocks. The values of shock factors are Ci = 1.5 and Cm = 1.6. 7. Design and make a neat dimensional sketch of a muff coupling which is used to connect two steel shafts transmitting 40 kW at 350 rpm. The material of the shafts and key is plain carbon steel for which allowable shear and crushing stresses may be taken as 40 Mpa and 80 MPa respectively. The material of the muff is cast iron for which the allowable shear stress may be assumed as 15 MPa. 8. It is required to design a rigid type of flange coupling to connect two shafts. The input shaft transmits 37.5 kW power at 180 rpm to the output shaft through the coupling. The service factor for the application is 1.5, i.e. the design torque is 1.5 times of rated torque. Select suitable materials for various parts of the coupling, design the coupling and specify the dimensions of its components. 9. The structural connection shown in the figure is subjected to an eccentric force of 10 KN with an eccentricity of 500 mm from the C.G of the bolts. The centre - distance between bolts 1 and 2 is 200 mm, and the centre - distance between bolts 1 and 3 is 150 mm. All the bolts are identical. The bolts are made from carbon steel 30C8 (Syt =400 N/mm2) and the factor of safety is 2.5.Determine the size of bolts.

10. Design a lap joint for a mild steel flat tie bar 200 mm 10 mm thick, using 24 mm diameter rivets. Assume allowable stresses in tension and compression of the plate material as 112 MPa and 200 MPa respectively and shear stress of the rivets as 84 MPa. Show the disposition of the rivets for maximum joint efficiency and determine joint efficiency. Take diameter of rivet hole as 25.5 mm for a 24 mm diameter rivet. 11. A plate 90mm wide and 15mm thick is joined with another plate by a single transverse weld and a double parallel fillet weld. Determine the length of parallel fillet, if the joint is subjected to both static and fatigue loading, taking tensile stress as 70 MN / m2 and compressive stress as 56 MN/m2Stress concentration factor may be taken as 1.5 for transverse weld and 3.7 for parallel fillet weld. 12. A shaft of rectangular cross section is welded to a support by means of fillet welds as shown in fig. Determine the size of the weld, if the permissible shear stress in the weld is limited to 75 N/rnm2.
