Chapter 11 Problem 11-45

Question

The shaft is supported by journal bearings at A and B that exert force components only in the x and z directions. If the allowable normal stress for the shaft is \(\sigma_{\text {allow }}=15\ \mathrm{ksi}\), determine the smallest diameter of the shaft to the nearest \(\frac{1}{8} \text { in }\). Use the maximum distortion energy theory of failure.

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 11 problem number 45 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The shaft is supported by journal bearings at A and B that exert force components only in the x and z directions. If the allowable normal stress for the shaft is \(\sigma_{\text {allow }}=15\ \mathrm{ksi}\), determine the smallest diameter of the shaft to the nearest \(\frac{1}{8} \text { in }\). Use the maximum distortion energy theory of failure.
From the textbook chapter Design of Beams and Shafts you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
