1. Design a sleeve coupling to transmit 10 kW at 200 RPM. Allowable value of shear stress and
compressive stress for the shaft and key material may be taken as 60 MPa and 130 MPa
respectively. Use allowable shear stress in CI sleeve equal to 15 MPa.

diameter. The allowable shear stress for shaft is taken as 50 MPa and allowable shear stress for
bolt and key are taken as 45 MPa. Allowable crushing stress for key is 120 MPa and allowable
shear stress for flange is 10 MPa.
3. Design and socket and spigot type cotter joint to connect two rods subjected to steady axial pull
of 100 kN. Material used for spigot and socket and cotter is C40, having a tensile yield strength
of 326.6 MPa and take FOS as 4 for tension, 6 for shear and 3 for crushing based on the tensile
yield strength.
4. Design knuckle joint for tie rod of circular section to sustain maximum pull of 70 kN. The
ultimate strength of the material of the rod against the tearing is 420 MPa, ultimate tensile and
shear strength of pin material are 510 MPa and 396 MPa respectively. Determine the tie rod and
pin section. Take FOS as 6.
