Question: a steel shaft in a spur gear reducer is subjected...

Question details

A steel shaft in a spur gear reducer is subjected to a constant torque together with lateral forces that tend always to bend it downward in the centre. These result in calculated stresses of 80 MPa torsion and 60 MPa bending. However, these are nominal values and do not take into account tress concentration caused by a shoulder (refer to Figure 3), where dimensions are D 36 mm, d 30 mm and r3 mm. All surfaces are machined, and the steel has the hardness, yield stress and ultimate strength values of 200 Bhn, 550 MPa and 700 MPa, respectively. Solve the following problems: (i) Calculate the safety factor with respect to the infinite life. (12 marks) (ii) Compare and discuss your answer in (i) with the Trescas yielding (static) safety factor.
