Mechanical Engineering Exam: Machine Design

1. An armored truck moving at 2 m/s is brought to a stop by 2 helical compression springs in parallel, compressing them 150 mm. The springs are made of oil-hardened steel wire with an ultimate tensile strength of 1500 N/mm2 and a modulus of rigidity of 81370 N/mm2. 2. A cylindrical shaft of diameter 8 cm is subjected to a bending moment of 2.5 kNm and twisting moment of 4.2 kNm. The material has a yield stress of 300 MPa. The factor of safety according to maximum shear stress theory of failure is calculated. 3. Dimensions of a cotter joint

Ar armeured truck
moving at a veincity of 2 m/s is brought to rest by a bumper consisting of 2
helical compression springs arranged in parallel. The springs are compressed by 150 mm in bringing
the armoured truck to rest. The mass of truck is 1000
kg. The spring index can be taken as 6. The
springs are made of oil hardened and tampered steel wire with ultimate tensile strength of 1500
N/mm and modulus of rigidity of 81370 N/mm. Permissible shear stress for the spring wire can be
zaken as 50% of the ultimate tensile strength. Calculate:

2 Calculate the maximum shear stress developed (MPa) in a cylindrical shaft 8 cm in diameter and
subjected to a bending moment of 2.5 kNm and the twisting moment of 4.2 kNm. If the yield stress
of the shaft material is 300 MPa. Determine the factor of safety of the shaft according to the
maximum shearing stress theory of failure.
