Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a shaft that will operate under both torsional and axial loads for a gearbox rated at 500 Nm torque and a 2000 N axial force. Discuss your material choice and safety factors involved.

πŸ’‘ Hint: You may need to explore design handbooks for material properties.

Question 2

Evaluate failure modes in a shaft impacted by excessive torsional loads. Propose design improvements to enhance performance and prevent failure.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the effects of fatigue on the material over repeated loading cycles.
