Problem 1: A circular shaft is used to transmit power from a
motor to a machine. The following are some scenarios of loads,
geometry, and material.
a.(4 points) Given L1, G1, and M1, find the minimum
required diameter that will ensure a factor of safety of 6
against torsional shear failure. All other failure modes may
be ignored.
b.(8 points) Given L1, G2, and M2, what is the factor of
safety guarding the design against torsional shear failure?
All other failure modes may be ignored.
c.(8 points) Given L2 and G2, find a suitable AISI steel grade
that would ensure a factor of safety of 8 against torsional
shear failure. All other failure modes may be ignored.
