PART 2: Mechanical Design Calculations (15%)
Design Case 1(5%). As a mechanical design engineer, you are asked to design a steel (E=207 GPa) shaft supported by two identical roller bearings at its two ends (see Fig.1). Assume that the shaft is to have a uniform diameter d except in the locality of the bearing mounting, so it can be approximated as a uniform beam with simple supports. You have also been informed from the bearing manufacturer's catalogue that the allowable slope at the bearings is 0.001mmmm without bearing life penalty. For a design factor of 1.28, and considering the dimensions and loading illustrated in Fig. 2:
(a) What uniform-diameter shaft d will support the load without penalty? (2.5%)
(b) What is the maximum deflection, , of the shaft? (2.5%)
