Required Diameter for Steel Rod

1) A steel rod is subjected to varying bending moments from 565-1130 Nm as the axial load varies from 4500-13500 N. The maximum bending and axial loads occur simultaneously. 2) The required diameter of the rod must be determined for a factor of safety of 2, neglecting stress concentration and column effects. 3) Using the Soderberg/Goodman relation and given material properties, the combined stresses are calculated. The required diameter is determined to be 45 mm based on an endurance limit of 275 MPa.

Numerical 4

A cold drawn steel rod of circular cross section is subjected to a variable bending
moment of 565 Nm to 1130 Nm as the axial load varies from 4500 N to 13500 N. The
maximum bending moment occurs at the same instant that the axial load is maximum.
Determine the required diameter of the rod for a factor of safety of 2. Neglect stress
concentration and column effect.
Take σ! = 550 MPa, σ" = 470 MPa and endurance limit as 50% of the ultimate strength
and size, load and surface correction coefficients as 0.85, 1 and 0.85 respectively.

Given:
