Chapter 1 Problem 1-80

Question

The cotter is used to hold the two rods together. Determine the smallest thickness t of the cotter and the smallest diameter d of the rods. All parts are made of steel for which the failure normal stress is \(\sigma_{\text {fail }}=500 \mathrm{MPa}\) and the failure shear stress is \(\tau_{\text {fail }}=375 \mathrm{MPa}\). Use a factor of safety of \(\left.(\text { F.S. })_{t}=2.50 \text { in tension and (F.S. }\right)_{s}=1.75 \text { in shear. }\)

Solution
