BDA 31203 – 1st Assignment

Session 2018/2019 Semester II

Student Name: ______________________________________

Matric Card No.: ________________

Section: ________

Figure below shows a shaft mounted in bearings at A and D and having pulleys at B and C. The
forces shown acting on the pulley surfaces represent the belt tensions. Change the xx term in the
belt tension with your last two digits from your matric card number. The shaft is to be made of
AISI 1020 HR steel. Using a conservative failure theory with a design factor of 2.5, determine the
minimum shaft diameter to avoid yielding.
