Example Problem 2.2
An initial design of a shaft is shown in Figure E2.2. The shaft is made of tempered
medium carbon steel, with = 640 MPa, = 275 MPa, = 155 MPa, = 500 MPa,
b −1 −1 0

is N = 10 and the material constant of the S−N curve is m = 9. The shaft is designed

to work 8 hours daily, 300 days yearly for 2.5 years. Operating stresses on the cross
section H are: bending stress = 5.48 MPa, axial tensile stress = 0.26 MPa
bending tension
and torsional shear stress = 11.0 MPa. An allowable safety factor is [S] = 1.6.
Calculate the endurance strength and check the strength of the shaft at the cross
section H.
