What is the constant factor in the R10 series of preferred numbers?
If the notch sensitivity factor is 0.8 and the theoretical stress concentration factor is 2.5, calculate the stress concentration factor.
What is the other name of St. Venant's theory?
The mean stress for a member subjected to repeated stress is 500 N/mm2. What is the value of the alternating stress for the member?
If the mean stress value for a sinusoidal stress function is zero, then this type of stress falls under which of the following categories?
A machine component is subjected to 2-D stresses. The tensile stress in the X-direction varies from 40 to 60 MPa, while the tensile stress in the Y-direction varies from 20 to 40 MPa. The mean stress (in MPa) is:
A shaft is subjected to torsional loading with a maximum stress of 75 MPa. The shaft material has a yield strength in tension (Syt) of 160 MPa and a yield strength in compression (Syc) of 170 MPa. Calculate the factor of safety for the shaft.
If the moment of normal force is 550,000 N-mm and the moment of frictional force is 200,000 N-mm about the pivot axis, find the value of the actuating force. The force acts at a distance of 180 mm from the pivot point.
A mild steel rod of 12 mm diameter was tested for tensile strength with a gauge length of 60 mm. The following observations were recorded:
Final length = 80 mm; Final diameter = 7 mm; Yield load = 3.4 kN; Ultimate load = 6.1 kN.
Calculate the yield stress.
What should be the primary consideration in shaft design?
