Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
💡 Hint: You may need to explore design handbooks for material properties.
Evaluate failure modes in a shaft impacted by excessive torsional loads. Propose design improvements to enhance performance and prevent failure.
💡 Hint: Consider the effects of fatigue on the material over repeated loading cycles.
