a) With usual notations, derive the expressions for bending stresses in the extreme
fibers of a curved beam. State clearly the assumptions made.
b) A crane hook of trapezoidal cross section 90mm inner width, 40mm outer width &
120mm depth has center of curvature at 100 mm from inner fiber & load line is at
125 mm from the inner fiber. Determine the maximum load capacity of the hook if
the stress is not to exceed 120 MPa.
OR
a) Design a helical compression spring to support an axial load of 3000 N, the
deflection under the load being limited to 60 mm. The spring index is 6. The spring
is to be made of chrome-vanadium steel & the factor of safety based on elastic limit
in torsion is 2.
b) A multi leaf spring with camber is fitted to the chassis of an automobile over a span
of 1.2 m to absorb shocks due to a maximum load of 20 KN. The spring material can
sustain a maximum stress of 0.4 GPa. The spring has 2 full length leaves out of 8
total number of leaves. The leaves are assembled with bolts with a central band of
width 150 mm. Design the spring for a maximum deflection of 50 mm. Take E=207
GPa.
UNIT 2

3.

a) A simple band brake has a drum diameter of 500mm. A vertical passing through the
centre of drum also passes through the fulcrum which is 350mm below the centre of
drum. The length of brake lever is 800mm. One end of the band is attached to the
brake lever at a distance of 250mm from the fulcrum end and the other end is
attached to the fulcrum. Power absorbed is 30kW at a rate speed of 1000 rpm.
Selecting suitable materials and assuming an appropriate value for the factor of
safety, determine dimensions of rectangular cross-section of the brake lever
assuming that the depth is twice the width.

Determine the dimensions of a cone clutch to transmit 20kW at 1000rpm.The

minimum diameter is to be 300mm and the cone angle 200.Assume =0.2 and
permissible pressure=0.1N/mm2.

c) Compare the power capacity of a multiple disc clutch and a cone clutch. Both
clutches operate at the same speed. Both have the same mean diameter, same
coefficient of friction and same axial load. The multiple disc clutch has 4 steel and 3
bronze disc. The total cone angle of the cone clutch is 200.Assume uniform wear
theory for both clutches.

b) Design a helical gear pair to transmit a power of 15 kW from a shaft rotating at 1000
rpm to another shaft to be run at 360 rpm. Assume involute profile with a pressure
angle of 200. The material of the pinion is forged steel SAE1030 whose static
allowable bending stress is 172.375 MPa and the material for gear is cast steel 0.2%
C untreated with static allowable bending stress of 137.4 MPa. The gears operate
under a condition of medium shocks for a period of 10 hours/day. Check for
dynamic load, if load factor C=580N/mm and also for wear load. Take, helix angle
