Assignment 6 1

The assignment requires the development of a computer program for shaft analysis in the metric system, incorporating fatigue criteria and yield analysis using the von Mises approach. It involves designing a double reduction gearbox, calculating forces on gears, selecting suitable materials, and estimating shaft diameters to meet safety factors. Additionally, students must create design layouts and diagrams, submitting their findings in a PDF format to a specified email address by the due date of May 16, 2024.

Assignment 6
Due Date: 16-May-2024

Write a computer program for the analysis of shafts in the metric system, as described in
the class. The program must consider one or more fatigue criteria as well as yield in the
first loading cycle using the von Mises approach. Afterward, duplicate the metric version of
example 7-2 of the textbook:
A double reduction gearbox design has been developed to the point that the general
layout and axial dimensions of the countershaft carrying two spur gears have been
proposed, as shown in the figure. Additionally, the diameter of the gears is indicated in the
figure. The gears and bearings are located and supported by shoulders and held in place by
retaining rings. The gears transmit torque through keys. Gears have been specified as
shown, allowing the tangential and radial forces transmitted through the gears to the shaft
to be determined as follows:

{w t23 =2402 N
{
t
w 54 =10814 N
w r23 =876 N r
w 54 =3937 N
Where the superscripts t and r represent tangential and radial directions, respectively.
Furthermore, the subscripts 23 and 54 represent the forces exerted by gears 2 and 5 (not
shown) on gears 3 and 4, respectively.
Proceed with the next phase of the design, in which a suitable material is selected, and
appropriate diameters for each section of the shaft are estimated, based on providing
sufficient fatigue and static stress capacity for infinite life of the shaft, with minimum
safety factors of 1.5.
Each specified sections have to satisfy the fatigue and static criteria. In other words, the
diameter of various parts of the shaft should be determined using the safety factor, or any
sections should satisfy the fatigue and static safety factor. Additionally, any geometrical
problem in gears, bearings, keys, and retaining rings assemblage should not exist.
Draw the design layout, considering axial and diametral dimensions. Additionally, draw the
diagram of the fatigue safety factor in the longitudinal direction of the shaft (as explained
in the class). Only submit a PDF file. Append your computer program at the end of the PDF
file.
