A sleeve coupling is used to connect two 50 mm shafts whose safe shearing stress is 70 MPa. Design the sleeve when it is made of cast iron with an ultimate shearing stress of 140 MPa. Also determine the factor of safety for which the sleeve has been designed. The length of the key is half the length of sleeve and the section of the key is 12.5 mm x 12.5 mm, find the shearing and crushing stresses induced in the key used.
The question involves the concept of design of sleeve coupling and various stanadard parameters involves. A detailed explanation is given in below images.
Hope the explanation would be helpful for you.
