1. A rectangular plate, 15 mm thick, made of a brittle material is shown in Figure. Calculate the stresses at each
of three holes of 3, 5 and 10mm diameter.

2. A round shaft made of brittle material and subjected to a bending moment of 15 N-m is shown in figure. The
stress concentration factor at the fillet is 1.5 and the ultimate tensile strength of the shaft material is 200 MPa.
Determine the diameter d, the magnitude of the stress at the fillet and the factor of safety.

3. A shaft carrying a load of 5 kN midway between two bearings is shown in Figure. Determine the maximum
bending stress at the fillet section.

4. A plate 10 mm thick, subjected to tensile load of 20 kN is shown in figure. The plate is made of cast iron having
ultimate tensile strength as 350 MPa and factor of safety is 2.5. Determine the fillet radius.

5. A 25 mm diameter shaft is made of forged steel 30C8 having ultimate tensile strength as 600 MPa. There is a
step in the shaft and the theoretical stress concentration factor at the step is 2.1. The notch sensitivity index is
0.84. Determine endurance strength of the shaft if it is subjected to reversed bending moment.

6. A 40 mm diameter shaft is made of steel 50C4 (σu = 660 MPa) and has a machined surface. The expected
reliability is 99%. The theoretical stress concentration factor for the shape of the shaft is 1.6 and the notch
sensitivity factor is 0.9. Determine the endurance limit of the shaft.

subjected to reversed load P of 5 kN as shown in figure. The beam is machined and the reliability is 50 %. The
factor of safety is 2 and notch sensitivity index is 0.9. Calculate: (a) endurance strength at the fillet section and
(b) diameter d of the beam for infinite life.

8. A solid circular shaft made of steel Fe 620 having ultimate strength as 620 MPa and yield strength as 380 MPa
is subjected to an alternating torsional moment that varies from - 200 N-m to + 400 N-m. The shaft is ground
and expected reliability is 90%. Neglecting stress concentration, calculate shaft diameter for infinite life. The
factor of safety is 2. Use distortion-energy theory of failure.

9. A solid circular shaft, 15 mm in diameter is subjected to torsional shear stress that varies from 0 to 35 MPa and
at the same time, is subjected to an axial stress that varies from -15 to +30 MPa. The frequency of variation of
these stresses is equal to the shaft speed. The shaft is made of steel FeE 400 (ultimate strength as 540 MPa and
yield strength as 400 MPa) and corrected endurance limit of the shaft is 200 MPa. Determine factor of safety.

10. A bar of steel has an ultimate tensile strength of 700 MPa and yield point stress of 400 MPa and fully corrected
endurance limit of 220 MPa. The bar is subjected to mean bending stress of 60 MPa and stress amplitude of 80
MPa. Superimposed on it is a mean torsional stress of 70 MPa and torsional stress amplitude of 35 MPa. Find
factor of safety.

11. A rotating shaft subjected a non-rotating force of 5000 N and simply supported between two bearings A and E
as shown in figure. Shaft is machined from plain carbon steel and expected reliability is 90%. Determine life of
shaft. Assume kt = 1.68; q=0.78; σu =500 MPa; ka = 0.8; kb = 0.85; kc = 0.897.

12. A cantilever beam made up of cold drawn steel 20C8 (σu =540 MPa) is subjected to a completely reversed load
of 1000 N (figure 5). Determine diameter of shaft for 10000 cycles and reliability of 90%. Assume kt = 1.68;
q=0.85; ka = 0.79; kb = 0.85; kc = 0.897
