    This document contains 5 problems related to variable stresses and the design of machine elements. The problems cover topics like calculating the diameter of a rod subjected to reversed axial loading based on factors of safety and material properties. Another problem determines the factor of safety of a machine component subjected to fluctuating stresses using Goodman, Soderberg and Gerber theories. A third problem estimates the factor of safety of a leaf spring under cyclic stresses using Goodman and Soderberg relations. The remaining problems involve calculating the diameter of a shaft under cyclic loading and the thickness of a plate under tensile loading based on endurance limits, yield strengths and factors of safety.

    UNIT – 1 - PROBLEMS ON VARIABLE STRESSES

    1. A steel rod is subjected to a reversed axial load of 180 kN. Find the diameter of the
    rod for a factor of safety of 2. Neglect column action. The material has an ultimate
    tensile strength of 1070 MPa and yield strength of 910 MPa. The endurance limit in
    reversed bending may be assumed to be one-half of the ultimate tensile strength.
    Other correction factors may be taken as follows: For axial loading = 0.7; for
    machined surface = 0.8; for size = 0.85; for stress concentration = 1.0.
    2. A machine component is subjected to fluctuating stress that varies from 40 to 100
    N/mm2. The corrected endurance limit stress for the machine component is 270
    N/mm2. The ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of material are 600 and 450
    N/mm2 respectively. Find the factor of safety using:
    a) Gerber theory
    b) Soderberg theory
    c) Goodman line and
    d) Also, find the factor of safety against static failure
    3. A leaf spring in an automobile is subjected to cyclic stresses. The average stress is
    150 MPa, variable stress is 500 MPa, ultimate stress is 630 MPa, yield point stress is
    350 MPa and endurance limit stress is 150 MPa. Estimate, under what factor of safety
    the spring is working, by Goodman and Soderberg relation.
    4. A shaft of 760mm length is simply supported at its ends. It is supported to a central
    concentrated cyclic load that varies from 12KN to 36KN. Determine the diameter of
    the shaft assuming a factor of safety of 2, size correction factor of 0.8 and surface
    correction factor of 0.85. The material properties are ultimate strength = 500MPa;
    yield strength = 280MPa and endurance limit = 250MPa. Fatigue stress concentration
    factor = 1.5.
    5. Determine the thickness of a 120 mm wide uniform plate for safe continuous
    operation if the plate is to be subjected to a tensile load that has a maximum value of
    250 kN and a minimum value of 100 kN. The properties of the plate material are as
    follows: Endurance limit stress = 225 MPa, and Yield point stress = 300 MPa. The
    factor of safety based on yield point may be taken as 1.5
