Solution

GIVEN DATA

  • Outside Diameter of shaft Do =100 mm
  • Length of shaft L = 1.25 m or 1250 mm
  • Force acting on center of shaft F= 850 N
  • Maximum deflection allowed (mid-point) = 0.10 mm

Consider a case in which shaft is simply supported at its ends and load of 850 N is applied at its center.

Bending stiffness formula

s= F/δ=(C_1 EI)/L^3 s= F/δ=(C_1 EI)/L^3

  • F = Force acting on shaft
  • δ= Permissible deflection
  • E = Elastic modulus
  • I = Moment of inertia of shaft
  • L = Length of shaft
  • C_1 = constant value equals to 48

a) All the three materials can be used as a shaft material in combination of resin. Calculate inside diameter of all 3 cases.

Consider the case of carbon fiber standard module.

  • E = 230 GPa

F/δ = (C_1 EI)/L^3

850/0.1 = (48*230*1000*I)/〖1250〗^3

  • I = 1.5*〖10〗^6 〖mm〗^4
  • I = π/64 (〖D_O〗^4-〖D_I〗^4 )

Similarly inside diameters for other 2 materials calculated as same as above , the values of insider diameters are shown in table below .

From the above table, the required cost is minimum for Carbon fiber standard module. So carbon fiber standard module would be least expansive i.e252 .8 AUD.

c) Although all the 3 parts are designed for same problem and conclusion for selecting specific part is shown below.

  • 👉 In general if a shaft is needed to be used in vehicle then it must have low cost and less mass/weight .In Standard module carbon fiber , although its cost is minimum among all but its mass is highest due to which the overall weight of vehicle increases .So this material justify cost factor but not mass factor .
  • 👉 In High module carbon fiber , although its mass is minimum among all but its cost is highest due to which the overall cost of vehicle increases .So this material justify weight factor but not justify cost factor .
  • 👉 In High module carbon fiber , although its mass is minimum among all but its cost is highest due to which the overall cost of vehicle increases .So this material justify weight factor but not justify cost factor .
