1. A hose manufacturer has to decide the various diameters of
braided hoses in his manufacturing program.The smallest
hose diameter is to be about 6mm, whereas the largest is
to be about 50mm. As a strategy, the manufacturer
choses to have lesser diameters in the first phase of
production. Suggest suitable hose diameters to cover the
complete range from 6 to 50.
2. A design constraint suggests that the two screws in a
component should be placed between 32 mm and 55 mm
apart.
3. Nails are to be produced between roughly 15 mm and 350
mm long. Use the R10 series to size the various products.

__________________________________________________________
1. The most critical point of a component made up ofC40
material is subjected to following stresses
1. X-direction: +10N/mm2 to -8N/mm2
2. Y-direction: +12N/mm2 to +5N/mm2
3. In the X-Y plane there is a torsional shear ie, xy which
varies from +8N/mm2 to -8N/mm2
2. The most critical point of a component is subjected to a
triaxial stress system as following principle stresses along
three mutually perpendicular directions:
a. X-direction: +20N/mm2 to +65N/mm2
b. Y-direction: -10N/mm2 to +65N/mm2
c. z-direction: 0 to +50N/mm2

theory if the component is made up of C45 normalised steel.
