Question: A stationary torsion - bar, spring loaded statically by the forces F = 1 5 N and by a torque T , which varies from

A stationary torsion-bar, spring loaded statically by the forces F=15N and by a
torque T, which varies from 0 to 1N-m, is shown in Figure 2. The bar is to be made
of AM 350 stainless steel. It is expected that the bar will be lathe-turned with the
shoulder fillets fine ground. The ratio of fillet radius, r to the diameter, d can vary
from 0.05 to 0.2. The diameter, D can be approximately 1.5 to 2 times of d. If a
reliability of 99% is desired and a safety factor of 1.8 specified, find a suitable diameter
d by making necessary assumptions and design choices. Please show your calculations
for each design iteration. Round up the diameter to the nearest mm and explicitly
justify your answer and its limitations (if any).(40 pts.)

You need to show multiple iterations for q . At least 3.(Dont just put the right q immediately, show how you got there with at least three trials).
