Question
Q8. A solid intermediate shaft is to be fitted to a 16 MW engine operating at 110 rpm. The shaft is in sections with flanged couplings with 12 bolt holes on a pitch circle diameter that is 1.5 times greater than the shaft diameter. The limiting shear stress for the shaft is 180 MN/m2 and 160 MN/m2 for the bolts respectively.
Calculate EACH of the following:
(a) The shaft diameter for a safety coefficient (factor of safety) of two; (8)
(b) The diameter of the bolts for a safety coefficient (factor of safety) of two. (8)
