1. Determine the maximum normal stress and maximum shear stress at section A-A shown
in Fig. (a= 100 mm ; b= 200 mm; c=250 mm ; d= 400 mm)

2. Find the maximum normal and shear stress in the bracket shown in Figure.
3. Find the maximum normal and shear stress when the member shown in Figure is
subjected to F = 0.55 kN, P = 4 kN, and T = 25 N-m.

4. The figure shows a crank loaded by a force F = 800 N which causes twisting and bending
of the 20 mm-diameter shaft fixed to a support at the origin of the reference system. In
actuality, the support may be an inertia which we wish to rotate, but for the purposes of a
strength analysis we can consider this to be a statics problem. The material of the shaft
AB is ASTM grade 40 cast iron. Using the maximum normal stress theory, find the factor
of safety based on the stress at point A

5. A gear reduction unit uses the countershaft shown in the figure. Gear A receives power
from another gear with the transmitted force F = 5 kN and applied at the 200 pressure
angle. The shaft is made from steel with Sy = 420 MPa and Sut = 560 MPa.. Determine
the factor of safety of the shaft based on MSS and Von-Mises criteria of failure.

6. A gear reduction unit uses the countershaft shown in the figure. Gear A receives power
from another gear with the transmitted force FA applied at the 200 pressure angle as
shown. The power is transmitted through the shaft and delivered through gear B through
a transmitted force FB at the pressure angle shown. Assume shaft is running at constant
speed under steady state. For the given data, if the shaft is made of AISI 1030 CD steel
with factor of safety 1.2, find the suitable diameter of the shaft by using maximum shear
stress and Von-Mises theory.
7. The figure shows a shaft mounted in bearings at O and C and having pulleys at A and B.
The forces shown acting on the pulley surfaces represent the belt tensions. The shaft is to
be made of AISI 1035 CD steel using a factor of Safety 2. Find the diameter of the shaft,
based on Maximum shear stress theory and Distortion energy theory?

8. A gear reduction unit uses the countershaft shown in the figure. Gear A receives power
from another gear with the transmitted force FA of 5 kN applied at the 200 pressure angle
as shown. The power is transmitted through the shaft and delivered through gear C
through a transmitted force Fc at the pressure angle shown. Assume shaft is running at
constant speed under steady state. For the given data, if the shaft is made of AISI 1060
HR steel with factor of safety 1.2, find the suitable diameter of the shaft by using
maximum shear stress and Von-mises theory. (Hint: For steady torque, equate torque at A
and C to get Fc)
