Question: Q 5 . A rigid flange coupling as shown in the adjacent Figure connects two solid circular shafts and needs to transmit a maximum torque

Q5. A rigid flange coupling as shown in the adjacent Figure connects two solid circular shafts and needs to transmit a maximum torque of 3kN-m. Proportionate dimensions are as shown in the Figure. The flanges are keyed to the shafts by parallel sunk keys. The shaft, the bolts and the keys are made of 30 C 8(Su=500MPa;Sy=400MPa ) steel. Assume that the yield strength in compression is 1.5 times of that in tension. Determine the dimeter of the shaft, and the key dimensions (in mm ) to ensure factor of safety of 2.5 for each component. You may use =16d2[2+3]
