Shaft A, shown below, is made from AISI 1020 hot-rolled steel, is welded to a fixed support and is subjected to loading by equal and opposite forces F via shaft B. A theoretical stress-concentration factor Kts of 1.6 is induced by the 1/8′′ fillet. The length of shaft A from the fixed support to the connection at shaft B is 2 ft. The load F cycles from 150 to 500 lbf. (a) For shaft A, the factor of safety for infinite life using the Modified Goodman fatigue failure criterion is

An electrical motor raises a 50kg load at a construct velencity .calculate the power of the motor, if it takes 40sec to raise the load through a height of 24m(take g =9.8n/g)

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.

Aplate clutch has a single pair of mating friction surfaces 250-mm od by 175-mm id. the mean value of the coefficient of friction is 0.30, and the actuating force is 4 kn. a) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-wear model. b) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-pressure model.
