Question

3. (30%) The shaft shown in the figure is machined from AISI 1040 CD steel. The shaft rotates at 1600 rpm and is supported in rolling bearings at A and

B. The applied forces are F1 = 2500 lbf and F2 = 1000 lbf. Determine the minimum fatigue factor of safety based on achieving infinite life. If infinite life is not predicted, estimate the number of cycles to failure . Also check for yielding
