P = 235 kN
d = 50mm (diameter of the axis)
t = 20 mm
t1 = 12 mm
Safety coeffecient = 2.0
σ_y = 320 MPa


Check the axis for strength (shear and compression)

I do not know what all your symbols mean, but your calculation for the shear stress and tensile strength is correct.

I do see that your relevant formula mentions 0.5/0.6, while you apply 1.5/2.0.
Is that intentional?
TBH, I do not know what this factor is. Do you?

Sorry it took me a while to reply, I had a materials strength lab reports to give.

I was hoping you'd tell me that

Well, so my answer is correct? At any rate, let's interpret the symbols. Ts [N/mm^2] = max shearing strength in the part
Fmax [N] – Max shearing force
As = Area of shearing
[T] = allowable shearing strength
Safe factory

Sigma/c [N/mm^2] – Max compression strength in the part
Fmax = max compression force
A/c = area of the compression
[Sigma/c] [Mpa] – allowable compression strength
safely coeffecient

How did the material strengths lab report go?


Well, I didn't study material sciences, so there are a few technical aspects that escape me...

What is $d \cdot t_{min}$?
And your formulas appear to contain $lc$ instead of $/c$...?
What are $[\sigma_t]$ and $\sigma_y$?
What's the difference between shearing strength and compression strength?

I would expect the extra factor to be some type of rule-of-thumb factor, but I have no clue for what...

How did the material strengths lab report go?

Great! I copied it from the smartest guy in class (specifically said "guy" ) so it have better turned out great. I just don't like to give out reports as much as I like to solve exercises.

I don't see d x t (min)

As far as Ic instead of /c, I might have miscopied! Not sure whether it's "I" or "/"

Sigma y is "yield strength"
Sigma t is (I think) "tensile strength". There's appearing a relation between that and compression or shearing strength.

What's the difference between shearing strength and compression strength?

I'm certain it would turn out even better if you let the smartest person in class do it!

I don't see d x t (min)

There it is!

Okay... I'll just accept that for now...
