Question No. 1 30 Marks

A 5 tilting pad bearing is required to support a shaft 0.125 m diameter carrying a steady load of 2 kN
during running . the shaft rotates in one direction at 120 rev/s . It is required that the bearing be designed
for an oil viscosity grade No. 68 entering at 50 C o. with viscosity index of 95. The lubricant is supplied
in the form of flooded feed The Start up load of 200 N is to be expected . The inner diameter is 0.14 m.
Bearing misalignment is expected to be minimal with inlet temperature of 50 C o . and the drain
temperature Tout and the pad feed temperature Tf are assumed to be 70 C o ) .
N.B.

The Vogel’s Eqn. Constants are as follows :

K= 5.95804x10-5 , B= 894.233 ,  = 106.5863

S1 = 0.45 , S2= 1.4 , ρC = 1.7x106 j/m3 K , k = 0.08x10-6 m2 / s , α = 1

It is required to present a full design of that bearing. Draw a neat sketch showing the
general layout and the configuration of the final design of the off –set pads thrust bearing .

Design and draw a neat sketch of a knuckle joint for a tie rod of a circular section to sustain a
maximum pull of 70 kN. The ultimate strength of the material of the rod against tearing is 420
MPa. The ultimate tensile and shearing strength of the pin material are 510 MPa and 396 MPa
respectively. Determine the tie rod section and pin section. Take factor of safety = 6

Present a neat sketch of the assembled joint indicating the important dimensions. The stresses
developed in the various members have to be checked before finalizing the design . ( The Final
neat Drawing of the joint has a direct effect on the evaluation of the total marks )

An eccentrically loaded lap riveted joint is to be designed for a steel bracket as shown in
the Fig..The bracket plate is 25 mm thick. All rivets are to be of the same size. Load on the
bracket, P = 50 kN ; rivet spacing, C = 100 mm; load arm, e = 400 mm. Permissible shear
stress is 65 MPa and crushing stress is 120 MPa. Determine the size of the rivets to be used
for the joint .

Standard Sizes of Power Transmission Shafts

The standard sizes of transmission shafts are :

25 mm to 60 mm with 5 mm steps; 60 mm to 110 mm with 10 mm steps ; 110 mm to 140 mm with

15 mm steps ; and 140 mm to 500 mm with 20 mm steps.

The standard length of the shafts are 5 m, 6 m and 7 m.

Solution.

Given : t = 25 mm ; P = 50 kN = 50 × 103 N ; e = 400 mm ; n = 7 ; τ = 65 MPa = 65 N/mm2 ;

σc = 120 MPa = 120 N/mm2
