Question 1

A 4 meter long solid circular cylindrical shaft transmits 1600 kW at 500 rpm. The endurance limit of the material is 210 MPa and a factor of safety of 3 is to be used with respect to fatigue failure. Use G = 77.5 GPa. The design diameter ‘D’ of the shaft in metre is

Question 2

Consider the following statements in respect of flexible couplings
1). the flanges of flexible coupling are usually made of grey cast iron FG200.
2). In the analysis of flexible coupling, it is assumed that the power is transmitted by the shear resistance of the pins.
3). Rubber bushes with brass lining are provided to absorb misalignment between the two shaft.
Which of these statements are correct?

Question 3

Fatigue strength of a rod subjected to cyclic axial force is less than that of a rotating beam of the same dimensions subjected to steady lateral force. What is the reason?
