Design of Machine Elements Homework

This document contains 4 practice problems from a machine elements textbook. Problem 1 involves calculating factors of safety for different failure modes in a cantilever bracket bolted to a column. Problem 2 involves calculating properties of a steel spring like pitch, solid height, spring rate, and shear stress. Problem 3 asks to find the factor of safety against fatigue failure for an extension coil spring under fluctuating loads. Problem 4 involves calculating torque, inside diameter, and angle of rotation for a stock torsion spring.

425 Design of Machine Element HW # 6

1. Problem 8-76 from the text.

876 The cantilever bracket is bolted to a column with three M12 1.75 ISO
5.8 bolts. The bracket is made from AISI 1020 hot-rolled steel. Find the factors
of safety for the following failure modes: shear of bolts, bearing of bolts,
bearing of bracket, and bending of bracket.

2. Problem 10-20 from the text

1020 Consider the steel spring in the illustration.


(a) Find the pitch, solid height, and number of active turns.
(b) Find the spring rate. Assume the material is A227 HD steel.
(c) Find the force Fs required to close the spring solid.
(d) Find the shear stress in the spring due to the force Fs .
3. An extension coil spring is made of 0.6 mm music wire and has an outside diameter of
5 mm. The spring is wound with a pre-tension of 1.0 N, and the load fluctuates from
this value up to 6 N. Based on stresses in the body of the spring, find the factor of
safety guarding against fatigue failure.

4. A stock torsion spring is made of 0.055 in. music wire and has 6 coils and straight ends
2 in. long and 180 degrees apart. The outside diameter is 0.654 in.
a) What value of torque would cause a maximum stress equal to the yield strength of
the wire?
b) If the torque found in part (a) is used as the maximum working torque, what is the
smallest value of the inside diameter?
c) Compute the angle of rotation corresponding to the torque found in part (a).
