Soderberg criteria is:
σa + σm σe σy+ = 1 and σa = 100 - 20 n 2A ⇒ 40 + 60 160 240 = 1 × A × 103 σm = 100 + 20 2 2A
A = 1000 mm2Correct Option: D

- A forged steel link with uniform diameter of 30 mm at the centre is subjected to an axial force that varies from 40 kN in compression to 160 kN in tension. The tensile (Su), yield (Sy) and corrected endurance (Se) strengths of the steel material are 600 MPa, 420 MPa and 240 MPa respectively. The factor of safety against fatigue endurance as per Soderberg's criterion is

Fatigue endurance, σen = 240 MPa
A = π/4 × (30)2 × 706.5 × 10–6 m2
Soderberg’s equation is1 = σm + σa h σy σen.f Now Fm = 160 + 40 = 100 kN 2 ∴ σm = Fm = 100 kN = 141.54 MPa A 706.5 × 10 -6 and Fa = 160 - 40 = 60 kN 2 ∴ σa = 160 - 40 = 84.93 MPa 60 × 10 3 ∴ 1 = 141.54 + 84.93 h 420 240
or h = 1.45Correct Option: C

F1 = e μ θ = e 0.25 × (3π / 2) = 3.248 F2
∴ F1 = 3.248 N
Torque, T = (F1 – F2) × r
= (3.248 – 1) × 1 = 2.248 N-mCorrect Option: C
F1 = e μ θ = e 0.25 × (3π / 2) = 3.248 F2
∴ F1 = 3.248 N
Torque, T = (F1 – F2) × r
= (3.248 – 1) × 1 = 2.248 N-m
- A four-wheel vehicle of mass 1000 kg moves uniformly in a straight line with the wheels revolving at 10 rad/s. The wheels are identical, each with a radius of 0.2 m. Then a constant braking torque is applied to all the wheels and the vehicle experience a uniform deceleration. For the vehicle to stop in 10s, the braking torque (in Nm) on each wheel is _______.

m = 1000 kg, ω = 10 Rad/sec, R = 0.2 m, t = 10 sec
when ω = 0
∴ ωF = ωi – αt
∴ 0 = 10 – α .10
∴ α = 1 rad/ sec2
Now T = I.α∴ (T)each wheel = 
1000 
× 0.22 × 1 4
∴ (T)each wheel = 10 N - mCorrect Option: C
m = 1000 kg, ω = 10 Rad/sec, R = 0.2 m, t = 10 sec
when ω = 0
∴ ωF = ωi – αt
∴ 0 = 10 – α .10
∴ α = 1 rad/ sec2
Now T = I.α∴ (T)each wheel = 1000 × 0.22 × 1 4
∴ (T)each wheel = 10 N - m
