Deber 5
Fecha de entrega: 30-mayo-2019

1. Repasar la teoría del Capítulo 7 (Shafts and shaft components) del libro Shigley’s Mechanical Design.

2. A heat-treated steel shaft is to be designed to support the

spur gear and the overhanging worm shown in the figure
(dimensions in mm). A bearing at A takes pure radial load.
The bearing at B takes the worm-thrust load for either
direction of rotation. The dimensions and the loading are
shown in the figure; note that the radial loads are in the
same plane. Make a complete design of the shaft,
including a sketch of the shaft showing all dimensions.
Identify the material and its heat treatment (if necessary).
Provide an assessment of your final design. The shaft
speed is 310 rev/min.

3. The shaft shown in the figure (dimensions in inches and all fillets 1/16 inches) is proposed for the
application defined in Prob. 3–72, p. 138. The material is AISI 1018 cold-drawn steel. The gears seat against
the shoulders, and have hubs with setscrews to lock them in place. The effective centers of the gears for
force transmission are shown. The keyseats are cut with standard endmills. The bearings are press-fit
against the shoulders. Determine the minimum fatigue factor of safety.

4. A part is loaded with a combination of bending, axial, and torsion such that the following stresses are
created at a particular location:
Bending: Fluctuating stress from –40 MPa to 150 MPa
Axial: None
Torsion: Mean stress of 90 MPa, with an alternating stress of 10 percent of the mean stress
Assume the varying stresses are in phase with each other. The part contains a notch such that Kf,bending = 1.4,
Kf,axial = 1.1, and Kf,torsion = 2.0. The material properties are Sy = 300 MPa and Sut = 400 MPa. The completely
adjusted endurance limit is found to be Se = 200 MPa. Using the Gerber fatigue failure criterion, find the
factor of safety for fatigue based on infinite life. If the life is not infinite, estimate the number of cycles. Be
sure to check for yielding.

5. The rotating solid steel shaft is simply
supported by bearings at points B and
C and is driven by a gear (not shown)
which meshes with the spur gear at D,
which has a 150-mm pitch diameter.
The force F from the drive gear acts at
a pressure angle of 20°. The shaft
transmits a torque to point A of TA =
340 N·m. The shaft is machined from
steel with Sy = 420 MPa and Sut = 560
MPa. Using a factor of safety of 2.5,
determine the minimum allowable
diameter of the 250-mm section of the
shaft based on:
a) a static yield analysis using the
distortion energy theory
b) a fatigue-failure analysis using
Goodman Modified criteria
Assume sharp fillet radii at the bearing shoulders for estimating stress-concentration factors.
