Assignment 3

This document contains 5 questions regarding fatigue analysis of mechanical components made of steel. Question 1 involves estimating the endurance limit, endurance strength, and fatigue strength of a 45C8 steel bar under completely reversed bending. Question 2 involves calculating the suitable diameter of a ductile material rod under variable axial loading. Question 3 involves determining the factor of safety for a forged 40C8 steel shaft with a stepped down diameter under bending loads. Question 4 involves determining the endurance limit of a 30C8 steel shaft with a step and stress concentration under reversed bending. Question 5 involves calculating the required diameter of a bolt under combined axial and shear loading using different failure theories.

Q. 1 A 20-mm bar is made of 45C8 steel (Su = 630, Sy = 380 MPa) is subjected to a completely
reversed bending stress. Estimate the following:
(a)Endurance Limit of 45C8 steel (b)Endurance strength of polished 20-mm bar
(c)Endurance Strength of machined 45C8 steel bar of 20-mm dia with 99% reliability
(d)Fatigue strength of machined 45C8 steel 20-mm dia bar with 99% reliability for a life of 80,000
cycles

Q. 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.

Q. 3 A rotating shaft of 38-mm is made of forged 40C8 steel (Sut = 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. Ka = 0.78, Kb = 0.85 Kc = 0.814

Q. 4 A 25-mm shaft is made of 30C8, Su = 500 MPa steel and is subjected to reversed bending.
There is a step in the shaft and the theoretical stress concentration at the step is 2.1. The notch
sensitivity factor is 0.84. Determine the endurance limit of the shaft for a 50 percent reliability if
the shaft is forged.

Q. 5 The load on a bolt consists of an axial pull of 10 kN together with a transverse shear force of
5 kN. Find the diameter of bolt required according to 1. Maximum principal stress theory; 2.
Maximum shear stress theory; and 3. Maximum distortion energy theory.
