of brittle materials. Here the neck is critical for this reason.

“ STATIC DESIGN CRITERIA ” Fx = 500(cos 45D ) = 354 N
Fz = 600 + 500(cos 45D ) = 954 N
Question 1: A cast iron (brittle) structure is loaded as shown in the M x = 500(cos 45D )(0.2) − 600(0.2)
figure. The material is ASTM grade 40 and its tensile ultimate strength
and the compressive ultimate strength are Sut=293 MPa, Suc=965 MPa M x = −49.3 Nm
respectively. Find the safety factor using the following brittle failure M y = (600 + 500(cos 45D ))(0.2)
theories, Brittle-Coulomb-Mohr (internal friction) and Modified Mohr.
+ 500 sin( 45D )(0.5) = 367.5 Nm
T = 500(sin 45 D )(0.2) = 70.7 Nm

The maximum bending moment:

M = M x + M y = (−49.3) 2 + (367.5) 2 = 370.8 Nm

The transverse shear due to Fx at points A and B is negligible since they
are closer to x axis (recall transverse shear due to Fx is zero at outer and
inner fiber on x axis).

Certain fillets, notches, holes and grooves on the machine component

should be checked as critical sections because the stress concentrates
around these sections.

Question 2:

Figure shows a crank loaded by forces F1 = 1000 N and F2 = 1500 N.

As a result twisting and bending moments will occur in the 18 mm
diameter shaft. A cast iron (brittle) structure is used for the shaft AB.
The material is ASTM grade 40 and its tensile ultimate strength and the
compressive ultimate strength are Sut=293 MPa, Suc=965 MPa
respectively. Find the safety factor using the following brittle failure
theories: Brittle Coulomb-Mohr Theory (internal friction) and Modified
Mohr Theory.
