List of top Materials, Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering Questions on Plastic deformation and yield criteria asked in GATE ME

A shaft carries a thin pulley of radius \( r = 0.4\ \text{m} \) at end C. Taut and slack belt tensions are \( T_1 = 300\ \text{N} \) and \( T_2 = 100\ \text{N} \). Allowable shear stress in the shaft is 80 MPa. The shaft length segments are \( AB = BC = L = 0.5\ \text{m} \). Neglecting shock and fatigue and using maximum shear stress theory, find the minimum shaft diameter (in mm).
