DME (Design of Machine Elements-305) : Assignment No-4

This document outlines four questions for a machine elements assignment involving the selection of materials and calculation of factors of safety. Question 1 involves designing a rod for a ceiling fan. Question 2 involves designing a socket and spigot cotter joint to connect two rods under an axial load of 80kN, selecting materials and a factor of safety while calculating stresses and dimensions. Question 3 involves designing a knuckle joint to connect two circular rods under a tensile force of 70kN. Question 4 involves designing longitudinal and circumferential joints for a boiler shell with specified dimensions and pressure to achieve given joint efficiencies.
