Can you please solve with values other than just explaining.
A countershaft has a helical gear (B), a bevel gear (D), and two supporting
bearings ( A and C) as shown in Figure. Loads acting on the bevel gear are
known.
Forces on the helical gears can be determined. Shaft dimensions are
known. All shoulder fillets have a radius of 5 mm . Only bearing A takes
thrust. The shaft is made of hardened steel. All-important surfaces are
finished by grinding.
(a) Draw load, shear force, and bending moment diagrams for the shaft in
the xy and xz planes. Also draw diagrams showing the intensity of the axial
force and torque along the length of the shaft.
(b) At points B, C, and E of the shaft, calculate the equivalent stresses in
preparation for proper diameter determination.
(c) For a reliability of 99%, determine the diameter of the shaft at all points
including B,C, and E. The safety factor is considered as per designer
comment but it shall be greater than 1.
(d) Design the relevant key for keyway at B and D. We are using 1018 CD Steel with Sy=370MPa and Sut=440MPa.
