The rotating solid steel shaft is simply supported by bearings at points B and C and is driven by a gear (not shown) which meshes with the spur gear at D, which has a 150-mm pitch diameter. The force F from the drive gear acts at a pressure angle of 20°. The shaft transmits a torque to point A of TA 5 340 N ? m. The shaft is machined from steel with Sy 5 420 MPa and Sut 5 560 MPa. Using a factor of safety of 2.5, determine the minimum allowable diameter of the 250-mm section of the shaft based on (a) a static yield analysis using the distortion energy theory and (b) a fatigue-failure analysis. Assume sharp fillet radii at the bearing shoulders for estimating stress-concentration factors
