Question:
Yield strength of connecting rod number 2 shown in the figure Sy = 100 MPa of low-carbon steel manufactured. The modulus of elasticity is E=200 GPa.
The tensile strength of the material is Sut = 160 Mpa. A general variable load F between 6 and 10 kN acts on the system from point C as shown in the figure. Based on this ;
a) Draw the necessary free-body diagram to find the force on the connecting rod. Find the mean and amplitude stresses on the connecting rod depending on the diameter d of the rod.
b) The drawbar is forged and 99% reliability is required. Find the finite life strength (Sf) if a life of 100 000 cycles is desired in the design.
c) If the design factor of safety nf = 2 is desired, what should the diameter d of the connecting rod be? Calculate.
Note : For finite life calculations, take the variable f as 1.
