A 7.5-ft-long solid steel shaft (G = 11.2 x 106 psi) is to transmit 15 hp at a speed of 1500 rpm. The shaft is limited to an allowable shearing stress of 4.5 ksi and an allowable angle of twist of 4 degrees.

Determine:

a. The power transmitted by the steel shaft in units of in-lb/sec.
b. The corresponding torque for the steel shaft in units of in-lb.
c. The required diameter of the shaft (Show all units in your calculations).

P = 99000 lb.in / s

T = 630.25 lb-in

dr = 0.9272 in

Explanation:

Given:

- The length of the shaft L= 7.5 ft

- The power transmitted P = 15 hp

- The rotational speed f = 1500 rpm

- Allowable shearing stress of 4.5 ksi

- Allowable angle of twist θ = 4°

Find:

a. The power transmitted by the steel shaft in units of in-lb/sec.

b. The corresponding torque for the steel shaft in units of in-lb.

c. The required diameter of the shaft

Solution:

- The power transmitted can be calculated as:

P = 15 hp

P = 15*6600 lb.in / s

P = 99000 lb.in / s

- The Torque T for the steel shaft can be related to P and w as follows:

T = P / 2*pi*f

T = 99000 / 2*pi*(1500 / 60 )

T = 630.25 lb-in

- Use allowable shearing stress (τ) for design of shaft:

τ = 16*T / pi*d^3

Where, d is the diameter of the shaft:

d^3 = 16*T / pi*τ

d = cbrt ( 16*T / pi*τ )

d = cbrt ( 16*630.25 / pi*4.5*10^3 )

d = 0.89345 in

- Use allowable angle of twist (θ) for design of shaft:

θ = 32*T*L / pi*d^4*G

d^4 = 32*T*L / pi*θ*G

d = (32*T*L / pi*θ*G)^0.25

d = (32*630.25*7.5*12 / pi^2*(4/180)*11.2*10^6)^0.25

d = 0.9272 in

- The required diameter should be kept in lieu to both allowable angle of twist and allowable shear stress so dr

dr = max ( 0.89345 , 0.9272 )

dr = 0.9272 in

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
