Chapter 6 Problem 6-68

Question

The shaft is supported by smooth journal bearings at A and B that only exert vertical reactions on the shaft. Determine its smallest diameter d if the allowable bending stress is \(\sigma_{\text {allow }}=180\ \mathrm{MPa}\).

Solution

Step 1 of 3

The free body diagram of the shaft is shown below,

Applying force balance in vertical direction,

                                           

The sum of moments about point A would be zero, and it can be written as,

           

The reaction force acting at point A will be,
