b) A loaded narrow car of mass 1600 kg and moving at a velocity of 1.2 m/s is
brought to rest by a bumper consisting of two helical steel springs of square
section. The mean coil diameter of the spring is six times the side of the square. In
bringing the car to rest the springs are compressed by 200 mm. The permissible
shear stress is 400 MPa. Modulus of rigidity may be taken as 84GPa. Determine
the following:
1.
Mean load on each spring.
Side ofthe square section wire.
n.
iii.
Mean coil diameter
iv.

of pressure is not to exceed 0.08Mpa and coefficient of friction is 0.2. Assume
uniform wear condition. Find
(i)
Mean diameter and face width of the friction lining if the mean
diameter is 9 times the face.width
(ii)
External and internal diameter of the clutch plate
b) A differentiaJ band brake is as shown in fig Q3(b). The brake is to sustain a torque
of 425Nm; The coefficient of friction between the band and the drum is 0.153.
Determine
(i) Necessary operating force
(ii)Width and thickness of steel band ifthe safe tensile stress in the band is
55Mpa
iii)Section of brake lever if the allowable bending stress is 60Mpa. Take
the depth ofthelever as twice the width.
