Answer All the Questions

11.   A simply supported bam has a concentrated load at the center which fluctuates from a value of P to 4P. The span of the beam 500 mm and its cross section is circular with a diameter of 60mm. Taking for the beam material an ultimate stress of 700 MPa, a yield stress of 500 MPa, endurance limit of 330 MPa for reversed bending and factor of safety of 1.3, calculate the maximum value of P. Take a size factor of 0.8 and a surface finish factor of 0.9.

12.   A mild steel bracket as shown in figure – 1 is subjected to a pull of 5 kN acting at 45° to its horizontal a        xis. The bracket has a rectangular section whose depth is twice the thickness. Find the cross sectional dimensions of the bracket. If the permissible stress in the material of the bracket is limited to 50 MPa.
13.   A mild steel shaft transmits 23 kW at 200 rpm. It varies a central load of 900 N and is simply supported between the bearings 2.5 meters apart. Determine the size of the shaft, if the allowable stress is 42 MPa and maximum tensile or compressive stress is not to exceed 56 MPa. What size of the shaft will be required, if it is subjected to gradually applied loads?
(or)
14.   Design a cast iron flange coupling for a mild steel shaft transmitting 90 kW at 250 rpm. The allowable shear stress in the shaft 40 MPa and the angle of twist is not to exceed 1° in a length of 20 diameters. The allowable shear stress in the coupling bolts is 30 MPs.

15.   A bracket is welded to a column as shown in figure – 2. Determine the size of the weld if permissible shear stress in the weld is 80 N/mm2.


(or)
16.   A bracket, subjected to a force of 5 kN, inclined at an angle of
60° with vertical, is shown in Figure – 1. The bracket is fastened by means of four identical bolts to the structure. The bolts are mode of plain carbon steel 30CS (sYt = 400 N/mm2) and the factor of safety is 5 based on maximum shear stress. Assume maximum shear stress theory and determine the size of the bolts.

17.   Design a close-coiled helical compression spring for a service load ranging from 2250 N to 2750 N. The axial deflection of the spring for the load range is 6mm. Assume a spring index of 5. The permissible shear stress intensity is 420 MPa and modulus of rigidity 84 KN/mm2. Neglect the effect of stress concentration.
(or)
18.   A truck spring has 12 numbers of leaves, tow of which are full length leaves. The spring supports are 1.05 m apart and the central band is 85 mm wide. The central load is to be 5.4 kN with a permissible stress of 280 MPa. Determine the thickness and width of the steel spring leaves. The ratio of the total depth of the width of the spring is 3. Also determine the deflection of the spring.
       
19.   The operating conditions of a journal for a centrifugal pump are as follows:
        Load on journal  = 11.5 kN
        Speed of journal = 1440 rpm
        Diameter of journal = 75mm
        Operating temperature = 70°
        Ambient temperature = 40°
        Design the bearing.
(or)
20.   A single cylinder double acting engine delivers 185 kW at 100 rpm. The maximum fluctuation of energy per revolution is 15 percent of the energy developed per revolution. The speed variation is limited to 1 percent either way from the mean. The mean diameter of the rim is 2.4m. Design the suitable fly wheel.
