Question: A proposal for an axis is presented on which two power transmitting elements (A and C) and two bearings (B and D) will be mounted.

A proposal for an axis is presented on which two power transmitting elements (A and C) and two bearings (B and D) will be mounted. The following graphs are shown (lb for forces, lb-in for moments) from the analysis of forces and moments for the x-z and y-z planes, respectively.
Using the recommended steps, grooves, and keyways for the suggested geometry and considering 99% reliability and ηD = 3, calculate the minimum diameters D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5.
The shaft will transmit H HP at R rpm and is 16 in. Long (in steps 4, 8, and 4). For the material, Sy = SY PSI, Su = SU PSI. Uses ANSI ASME B1061-1985 methodology
H=200,R=2100, SY=55418, SU=72043
