Question: A shaft is to be designed in two sections, Section I and Section II , with diameters D 1 , and D 2 , respectively,

A shaft is to be designed in two sections, Section I and Section II, with diameters D1, and D2, respectively, machined from AISI 4640, OQT 1000. The shaft is subjected to a load of 3000 lb. applied at a point between the two sections, such that the length of Section I is a =10 in and the length of section Il is b =20 in. The total length of the shaft is 30 in.
The shaft supports the load Q at the junction of the two sections. The ends A and B are fixed, preventing any twisting or rotation, but they are designed to support the balancing reactions due to Q without inducing additional moments. The design is for steady loading conditions with a factor of safety N=3.0, based on the octahedral shear stress theory. Design the shaft system
Please solve the value of D1 and D2, and explain the formulas used, and site the book of reference .
