2. Explain the construction of clamp coupling (Split-Muff Coupling) with a neat diagram and brief the design procedure for the same.

3. A rod of linkage mechanism, made of steel 40Crl (Sut 550 is subjected to a completely reversed axial load of 100 kN. The rod is machined on the lathe and the expected reliability is 95%. There is no stress concentration. Determine the diameter of the rod using a factor of safety of 2 for an infinite life condition.

4. The standard cross-section for a flat key, which is fitted on a 50 mm diameter shaft, is 16 x 10 mm. The key is transmitting 475 N-m torque from the shaft to the hub. The key is made of commercial steel (Syt Syc 230 Determine the length of the key, if the factor of safety is 3.

5. Write short notes with diagrams:

Knuckle joint

Different types of keys

6. A helical compression spring of a cam mechanism is subjected to an initial preload of 50 N. The maximum operating force during the load cycle is 150 N. The wire diameter is 3 mm, while the mean coil diameter is 18 mm. The spring is made of oil-hardened and tempered valve spring wire of grade-VW (Sut 1430 Determine the factor of safety used in the design on the basis of fluctuating stresses.

7. Explain with diagram, the 'piston' of an IC engine and also mention the design requirements for the piston.

8. Write short notes on any four of the following:

Creativity in Design

Aesthetic Design Principles

S-N Curve

Shafts and their types

Compression and Torsion Springs

Limits, Fits and Tolerances
