Assignment

The document contains three individual assignments involving shaft design and sizing. The first assignment involves sizing a shaft driven by two pulleys with given belt tensions and diameters. The second assignment involves sizing a shaft transmitting power at a given speed and receiving known gear forces. The third assignment involves sizing a horizontal shaft transmitting power between two pulleys with given radii and speeds, transmitting a known power.

Individual assignment

1. The shaft, as shown in the figure below, is driven by pulley B from an electric motor. Another belt drive from
pulley A is running a compressor. The belt tensions for pulley A are 1500 N and 600 N. The ratio of belt tensions
for pulley B is 3.5. The diameter of pulley A is 150 mm and the diameter of pulley B is 480 mm. The allowable
tensile stress for the shaft material is 170 MPa and the allowable shear stress is 85 MPa. Taking torsion and
bending factors as 1.25 and 1.75 respectively, find the shaft diameter. Also find out the dimensions for a hollow
shaft with outside diameter limited to 30 mm. Compare the weights of the two shafts.

2. A shaft made of steel receives 7.5 kW power at 1500 r.p.m. A pulley mounted on the shaft as shown in Fig.
below has ratio of belt tensions 4. The gear forces are as follows: Ft = 1590 N; Fr = 580 N. Design the shaft
diameter by maximum shear stress theory. The shaft material has the following properties: Ultimate tensile
strength = 720 MPa; Yield strength = 380 MPa; Factor of safety = 1.5.

3. A horizontal shaft AD supported in bearings at A and B and carrying pulleys at C and D is to transmit 75 kW at
500 r.p.m. from drive pulley D to off-take pulley C, as shown in Fig below. Calculate the diameter of shaft. The
data given is: P1 = 2 P2 (both horizontal), Q1 = 2 Q2 (both vertical), radius of pulley C = 220 mm, radius of
pulley D = 160 mm, allowable shear stress = 45 MPa.
